Post-Sandy Timeline
Few things scare me. Hurricane Sandy scared me. The last time I got as scared as Monday night was when I heard a rumor that Anne Murray was coming out with a new CD. I lost power just before 8:00PM Monday night. During that time, I heard three trees crash to the ground and a howling wind like I had never heard before. I regained power at 12:30AM, but the surge killed my old computer. Below is a timeline of how the rest of my week went:
- Tuesday – I had no phone service and no internet to watch Roku. Cable TV was working, but only a few stations were up. (Two shopping networks, two Spanish networks, and WPIX.)
- Wednesday – The rest of the networks came back online. News was showing all of the flooding in Queens, Manhattan, and Long Island. Finding a gas station that was opened and had gas was harder to find than a needle in a haystack.
- Thursday – The news stations started showing footage from the Jersey Shore. The “Habitat for Hotties” house I helped build in 2008 was demolished by Sandy.
- Friday – Spent most of the day battling Montezuma’s Revenge. I found out later in that there was a water advisory since Tuesday and that I was supposed to be boiling my drinking water. I only mentioned it because Governor Chris Christie mentioned it during a hurricane recovery update.
- Saturday (Today) – My computer finally arrived. I am still trying to figure out Windows 8. My last computer had Vista as the operating system. Gas rationing is now in effect with “odd-even days” depending on the last number on the license plate. I am odd.
I will not be participating in this year’s “Orgies for Abstinence due to the hotel it was to be held at needs the room for Sandy refugees from the coast. I will instead be celebrating my election victory with close friends.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
If the refugees are already in the “Orgies for Abstinence” hotel I say hold the event. Even refugees need a good orgy no and then.
I’m glad you are okay.
The problem is that refugees in hotels tend to be families. Children shouldn’t be around that because they might not get how orgies lead to abstinence.
