NOAA to East: Beware of coming 'Frankenstorm

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

Rude. I was eating Pb & J.

I knew you would never let that stuff pass your lips.

[Ed Anger]

In continuing good news, Gawker is still down.

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!

Why don't you walk? 

[CountDeMoney]

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.

Shit, yeah, that was my work Crackberry.  I'll PM you the iHipster.

Just got the power back in this area of Brooklyn, after 2.5 hour outage.  What a strange time to have a blackout, long after the hurricane has passed by.

With all the mess up there, could be anything from storm-related damage to rerouting on the grid.  They do that sometimes.

I was reading about ConEd & apparently most of it's electricity is imported from Hydro Quebec.

New York City powered by Northern Quebec.

Yeah, welcome to the world of energy commodities.  The power plant down the road is most likely not the one powering your computer.

Yes, last night I had the remained of my iced goat cheese on crackers with wine.

Gotcha, yeah my message went into the void then.

How long before the resort to cannibalism?

If there hadn't been the bus I would have / given how the bus was I wish I had walked instead. I mean I did walk the same distance yesterday to get to that hotel bar.

On bus - lots of space where I got on. By 2nd stop packed in like sardines. At 3rd stop an older black man was trying to get off so we were pushing about when this middle aged black man forced himself on the bus and barreled into me. Everyone yelled at him to get out of the way but he didn't.  Then he started complaining that everyone was on the bus because it was free and we were like nope just the only way to get uptown from downtown without waiting hours for a cab.  Then he complained about my suitcase and messenger bag. He complained about my messenger bag hitting him again and I'd had it. Told him right off which of course then made me the angry person on the bus.  Such fun!

No idea. I'll be in functioning Times Square tonight and then will either crash in UES or make my way to Boston tomorrow evening.

I don't get why yankees insist on building houses on the water and then expect the taxpayer to bail them out when a hurricane hits?



Or as Little Johnny would say "ain't so funny when it's your momma is it?"

Really?  From somebody who lives in Florida? How much tax money have we blown repairing your state's shit?

I think you're missing his point.
