So power went out at 8:30 around the time that transformer on 14th street blew. As of this morning no cell service either. Currently in hotel bar uptown. Can't wait to take bus to work tomorrow!

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Either that, or one of the cannibal gangs got him and is now impersonating him online (after snacking on his edible bits).  :hmm:

Due to the weather crud Sandy is giving my area, they rescheduled Beggar's Night to Saturday.

In my day, we were out in the sleet to get candy. Kids these days.  :rolleyes:

Weather hottie of the day: Sandra Endo of CNN.

I'd dry her off with my towels.

Yep thankfully no trees near bedroom window and I just hunkered down inside. Living without electricity or phone is obnoxious but I have my health.

Glad you're okay, garb :cheers:

My evil twin Biff Anger was the one posting about you eating potted meat in the dark Garb, not me.

I hope garbon's OK, and he hasn't been set upon by roving bands of cannibalistic Puerto Ricans.

You must have given me a work cell last year. I texted after power went out / before cell service went out.

Different note, so many attractive Brits trapped near times square. And to think I'm staying in this hotel tomorrow night if power is still off. :D

I loved Bloomberg on the radio this morning (radio? I know, right?). He gave so much withering attitude to reporters trying to ask charged questions. :wub:

Manhattan looks different, somehow.


Feels doff

Feels different too. Saw a Chili place on my street using generator and hot plate to give free food. Few blocks away a bodega was using generator to let people charge phones. City might be cruel but we can band together.

Alright for serious - are British tourists told to book hotels at times square? Bar is full of Brits. I may have to revise my opinion of the vicinity.

My parents still don't have power... their entire town is out.  Downed trees and live wires all over the place.
