I wonder if I can cancel my work tomorrow... hmm.  Maybe not :P

The last time a storm hit New York, we lost electricity for nearly 12hrs.  So boring.  Can't work, can't play, can't do anything.  Restaurants were closed, grocery store was closed...

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

I got an LED lantern to supplement my votive holders and candelabras.  It's like an officer's quarters from ST:TNG around here.

Oh yeah, it rocks.  Can get a hell of a lot of things done with it.  I will not want for reading light.

I totally dig a shitload of candles too, garbon, but my old eyes can't read as well with them anymore, even if the place does look like straight out of The Police's "Wrapped Around Your Finger" video.   :lol:

:hmm:

ConEd might just decide to turn off steam and electricity in Lower Manhattan if they think it is at risk...

Oh, man....this thing is just going to sit on us for days.

QuoteHurricane Sandy is expected to track to a position approximately 300 miles east of Norfolk Virginia this morning, before turning to the northwest and reaching the coast over Southern New Jersey after midnight. The track of Sandy is expected to bring high winds to the region through Tuesday evening.

High Wind Warning remains in effect from 8 am this morning to 8 pm EDT Tuesday.

Timing: sustained winds of 30 to 40 mph are expected by 8 am this morning, then increasing around noon to 35 to 45 mph with hurricane force wind gusts 60 to 70 mph lasting into early Tuesday morning.

Impacts: a prolonged and significant 24 hour high wind event will take place across the warning area. Coupled with Heavy rains from Sandy, the high winds will lead to significant tree damage. Residents, visitors. And businesses across the region should plan for widespread power and communication outages.

Well, I won't be going into work tomorrow. MTA is shutting down and I ain't walking 40 blocks to work. :P

You can work from home?

BGE is saying get ready for widespread power losses later in the afternoon, when the winds really start whipping up.  Morning's a bit wet and more than breezy, but it's all on it's way.

I WILL CONTINUE TO TRANSMIT FROM THIS LOCATION UNTIL I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO D
