Lights are on across the street! Maybe my side will have power sooner than expected.
Mum wants to pick me up and take me and the cats back to NH until NJ sorts itself out. She also needs help with yard work.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is not one of those times. This is one of those times when I think we are so breath-takingly amazing.
Didn't some group do something similar with...maybe computer kiosks in India? Having a hard time working out where I saw/read that.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Fingers crossed you get power back soon, Juliebird.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
One of my friends in NJ has been going nuts because, with the particular combination of downed trees and downed power lines in her neighborhood, they need the tree people and the power people to be there at the same time and coordinate things in order to get power back. She was watching out her window all morning as the tree guys came, waited around for a while, then left, then the power guys came, waited around for a while, then left, and then the tree guys came back, etc.

Yeah, I passed a crew right outside my apartment when I walked to the bus stop (not running) and apparently they were there for a couple hours scratching their heads before leaving.
But the grocery store had a genny, and I was able to score some cold sesame noodles at the Chinese place, so not a wasted trip.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Am I likely to find Christmas flights for less than $280 round trip? (I found American Airlines for $240 but I'm afraid to rely on them.) Should I go ahead and book?

Greetings from Drunkyville!
I stopped by the Voulez Vous lounge after dinner (maybe the best meal I've had all year, spinach-stuffed pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes and french onion spup) and found a bartender that knows how to make sazerac cocktails with real absinhte. Buffistas would really love this place, it looks like something straight out of Moulin Rogue and serves really good drinks and they were playing disco tonight. [link]
Weirdly I seemed to be able to naviogate uneven curvy sidewalks down a mountain just fine but once I got up to my room everythings spinning. I'm gonna put off the jacuzi tub until tomorrow when I know I wqnt fall into it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I don't think I saw that but I'd be totally interested if you run across it again.
