Here at the Duck we've been experiencing the heat wave in a way completely unique to our New York location. We are a very tiny part of a very large power grid which, like the shaved ice guy, gets very sluggish during the heat. Or doesn't show up to work at all. We've been fortunate enough to keep our power and our air conditioning while others haven't been so lucky.
We did receive a handful of very spooky emails from ConEd which used words and phrases like "fires" and "true crisis mode".
