You've opened all your presents by now, and you're eating pastry and
coffee as you wait hungrily for your meal. Good for you. Try not to have
a heart attack, okay?
Moving right along, there was a wildly inaccurate press notice from the EPA just before Xmas. Here's an AP article about it.
When the Canal was flooded by Hurricane Sandy, its "water" flooded into homes and basements in all the surrounding areas. Can you imagine having that kind of toxic sludge in your house?
But rest assured. The EPA says it never happened. Everything is safe, pink and fuzzy. Heck, you could eat your Xmas dinner off the floor in any of those homes. Isn't it great to have a government that takes care of things like this? Ho, ho, ho. Merry Xmas!

I'm sure the EPA's announcement came as a shock to the people who live by the Gowanus Canal.
