12/13/08 MORE WATER TROUBLES IN GREENWICH: Greenwich Roundup's Offices Were Flooded Yesterday !!!!!!

The "World Wide Headquaters" Of Greenwich Time Were Flooded Yesterday

Yesterday I went to help my wife as she participated in craft sale the was to benefit Avon Foundation's Which Is Concerned With Breast Cancer. In middle of the sale at the Avon building in Rye I went out in the rain for an hour and a half to take care of some business and the returned to help my wife pack up her flower arrangements and gifts.

Then when I returned home in Greenwich I found the that the "World Wide Headquarters" to Greenwich Roundup flooded in 3 inches of water. The pump had failed and my lower level unit had flooded. I then went to try and fix the pump.

At first I thought it was clogged and stooped over in an enclosed space I banged the pump trying to clear it. Some how in the process I banged my head on a very low ceiling beam and being an upstanding Christian man I began to curse profusely.

I even said,"Jesus Christ, Can some G-d D-mn help here!!!!"

At that point the neighbors in another unit started nervously walking around turned on a switch in their apartment that turned on a light in the basement and powered the pump.

The pump was working but I had managed to knock the float off when I had banged my head I reattached the float, put the pump in the water and used an extension cord to plug the pump into another outlet.

I mopped up my apartment as the water was pumped out. Bags and bags of damaged items were put in garbage bags as I started running fans to dry out my home. Later my wife and I washed and dried wet items at the Byram Laundry Mat until 4:30 in the morning.

I then got ready to go to work at taking care of buildings in Greenwich, but then all of a sudden I could not find my keys.As stuff was picked up and stacked up away from the water I must of covered them up or accidentally dropped them in a box or something.

I had extra keys for all of my clients accept for two businesses. I called one business this morning and will pick up a new key on Monday. I will drop in to see the other business also on Monday morning.

Now today I was playing catch up trying to make sure that the rest of my clients are serviced before 6 am Monday morning.

Tomorrow, after I finish serving coffee at Harvest Time Church from 8 am till 1:30 pm I will still have four more clients to take care of.

The reason I am telling you all of this is that some Greenwich Roundup postings will be a little late. I have saved quite a few very interesting items in draft form, but still need to proof read them and select pictures to illustrate them. They will be published very soon.

So please be patient as I get caught up here at the "World Wide Headquarters" of Greenwich Roundup.
