Hopefully everyone stranded in Hoboken in sewage water can wait 5 more hours while police and emergency personnel can assist with dehydrated runners. The lack of perspective is beyond mind boggling.
+1.
I know in my small little world, if either of us not running in the marathon, we spend the day spectating. This year we are not. So that is 4 less people watching the race and spending $.
Fortunately our power came back yesterday, so we are hosting some people that are not as fortunate plus helping out whenever/wherever we can in local shelters over the weekend.
Plus to your comment above, I know several/many people that volunteer each year. They have withdrew(?) their request this year in the past few days so to quote one of them..."if I am going to hand out water on Sunday, I will hand out water to those who really need it"
