OCTOBER
9, 2005 --
Heavy
rain in New York City, October 8, forced the fourth game between
the Angels and the Yankees to be postponed to October 9, which
was a gray, damp, dismal day, not particularly good baseball
weather.
And this is only the start of post-season play. The league playoffs are next,
with the World Series to follow.
But without the Boston Red Sox, defeated in three straight games by the Chicago
White Sox. O, to be in Chicago an evening in late October for a World Series
game?
Weather, the first week-end in October was much nicer.
LPR offers some photos taken outside the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, on Fifth Avenue to assure visitors that the sun
does shine over Manhattan on Sundays.
No, the Met has not been encased in cloth by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. It
is undergoing a facelift. The not-enshrouded glass facade at rear of the museum,
offers a mirror-like image of Central Park foliage, which has yet to turn autumnal.

Yankee Stadium during the 2003 World Series, a chilly,
late October evening, LPR recalls.
