Ugh, now they're manipulating me with a photo montage set to "Fix You." That song is like kryptonite for me.
"I Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway" was the one that got me.
My mom's friend is head of Rotary for NJ, and my mom and dad are helping her tomorrow by driving around town to collect donations of blankets and stuff for the shelters. There are a bunch of people who have stuff to donate, but don't have enough gas in their cars. My parents have two cars, and filled the tanks in both before the storm, so they can spare some gas for collecting blankets.
We just started watching because I had a big buffer in the dvr. Those living in swing states understand not watching live tv.

Which is pretty awesome.
In good Sandy news, I just heard that the power in most of lower Manhattan came back on around 5:30! Dare I hope we might have subways from Brooklyn on Monday??
Well, hope is good! Send good vibes to the Corps of Engineers guys working on it...
A lot of New Jersey is going on even/odd days gas rationing.
I have a quilt and some old winter coats I could donate, Hil. (If I'm anywhere near your parents, that is).

Isn't it for everyone? I can't even describe the part that always makes me cry without tearing up.

I don't think you are. You're in central Jersey, right? They're up near NYC. Thanks, though.

Yikes. I haven't seen any open gas stations in Brooklyn for two days now, but I also don't need to drive. (When I filled up my car on Sunday, I thought I was being paranoid, but now I'm so relieved I thought of it.)
It's a perfectly normal chilly breezy November night right now, and I still can't help flinching every time it gusts.
