Steph -- yes, and saw dolphins. Not that I'm jealous or anything like that, after 50+ summers of being there on the beaches and not seeing any dolphins.
Easy Bake. Flop-a-palooza. Woosh. Pop. I don't skulk.

Which I thought were sharks at first. (I'm from OHIO. I was IN THE OCEAN. I've seen "Jaws" a million times. Fins freak me out.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man. I've been reading this book about locally-produced food in NYC, like roof gardens and such, and there was a chapter about honey produced by people who keep bees in urban hives.
So now, in addition to worrying about the humans, I'm going what about the bees!?!?!

Ohio is spared! Look out Canada!:
At 5 a.m., the storm — now known to meteorologists as a post-tropical cyclone — was roughly 90 miles west of Philadelphia and was expected to take a turn north later on Tuesday. It would then pass through New York State on its way to Canada, crossing the border sometime on Wednesday, the hurricane center said.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
So incredibly thankful that y'all are all okay. Hope things get more or less normal as soon as possible.

Yeesh:
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said early on Tuesday that the storm was the worst disaster in the history of the New York City subway system.
“The New York City subway system is 108 years old, but it has never faced a disaster as devastating as what we experienced last night,” said Joseph J. Lhota, the authority’s chairman, in a statement. “All of us at the M.T.A. are committed to restoring the system as quickly as we can to help bring New York back to normal.”
He outlined the extent of the damage that city workers and residents would face in the coming days:
- As of last night, seven subway tunnels under the East River flooded. Metro-North Railroad lost power from 59th Street to Croton-Harmon on the Hudson Line and to New Haven on the New Haven Line.
- The Long Island Rail Road evacuated its West Side Yards and suffered flooding in one East River tunnel.
- The Hugh L. Carey Tunnel is flooded from end to end and the Queens-Midtown Tunnel also took on water and was closed. Six bus garages were disabled by high water.
