Wow, I can’t believe that it’s been more than a week and we are still sleeping on the streets. To be fair, we are very well equipped with sleeping bags, reclinable chairs, blankets, clothing, and of course… lots and lots of ENERGY for our mobile devices thanks to all the RAVPower products we brought!
On yesterday’s post I told you guys about two incidents that have happened throughout our time here. Both very disturbing, but thankfully, one of them is over… for good?
This morning, the voice of justice to wake us up. At around 8:30am, the chief of security from the GE building came to our camping site and asked us who did all those empty chairs (the ones I showed you guys on yesterday’s post) belong to. We quickly replied that some security guards from the GE building brought them here in order to be able to sell those spots later on and make a good profit out of this. Yes, in other words, these chairs were placed here by some of the chief’s employees. Without hesitating, he made a call using his radio and a couple of minutes later, a guy from the maintenance team arrived with a big wheeled garbage container. One by one they took the empty chairs and placed them inside it. “If you are not on your chair from sunset to sunrise, it means you are not in the line,” after saying this, they left.
Justice...
Even more justice...
We were all excited to see that finally Mia, a very kind nurse who was at the back of the line and who took leave only to be here for the iPhone 6 because she really loves Apple that much, was now next to us in line, meaning she will be the 9th person to get her new phone on September 19th!
Here is Mia being bothered by me and my camera 🙂
The rest of the day went by very fast. No media today.
On this same day 13 years ago, a terrible tragedy happened here in New York City. Today, even though we couldn’t move from the line, we witnessed the reading of the 9/11 victims’ names on the TV. We all took a moment to remember everything that happened that day and hope with our hearts that nothing this horrible will ever occur to this or any other country in the world.
9/11 Memorial
Health Report: Jonah… yeah, super healthy -_- and me, I’m tired and still with a sore throat.
Weather Report: The forecast has been saying that it will rain Saturday and several days next week. Well, we can only hope for the best… this means, NO RAIN! 🙂
Enough for today, good night!
Cheers!
