Ya--kind of.  The real title is "4th of July, Asbury Park(Sandy)".

The Hollies covered it and they just called it "Sandy".

 Thanks Danny and the rest for your prayers and well wishes.You have mine as well. 

 Understandably the storm is a big thing in the media right now. My local network seems to be glued to the subject almost non stop. The media hype has made a few people worry far more than they needed to. The actual storm isn't supposed to  impact us until late Monday.The news has put my wife into a panic. From looking at the goings on here the same thing is happening with a lot of other people. Sometimes I wish we didn't have TV. It gets people too riled up. It's nice to know theres a storm coming and to plan for it but I can do without the media hype really. I think it's all about their ratings.The election was getting old anyhow.Information overload tends to overload some people.

 If we loose power or if things flood or if the house blows in we will deal with it. I'm not about to worry myself to death over it. I went to work today and my wife was worried sick and didn't want me to go in. As it turns out there is a little rain and some wind, so what? Tonight when things get worse I'll do what I can and pray about the rest. Play the hand I'm dealt with no worries. I think I get more annoyed by the worrying than I do about the actual storm lol.

Good attitude, Starise.  I have family and friends in NJ. From what I've heard so far, they're not in worry mode, either.  They've had plenty of warning and they've been getting ready.  Not much need to worry if you're prepared.  They're near the coast but not right on it, so they don't have to worry about storm-surge and high tides.  

Still, it doesn't hurt to send out prayers and best wishes to all of you--so that's what I'm doing. Good luck.

Down in Trenton here and as prepped as we can be, hoping the storm drains will take the flow away. That's one of my biggest worries, especially if the power goes out. If that happens oh boy. We can still cook on the gas cooktop using a spark igniter or matches to light the flame. Just hate losing all the food we've got in the freezer section of the fridge. Being retired doesn't make replacing things easy.

Strange thing is I have a couple of things in the shipping pipeline which are due for delivery today & tomorrow. Today's is coming via FEDEX and the tracking status says it's on the vehicle for delivery. The other is coming UPS and due tomorrow - don't think that will happen (it's a new computer).

I know I don't come around all that much but just had to chime in here. Everyone, not just in NJ stay safe and get to high ground if you're even close to water.

Sounds like it's going to get tuff.
I wish the best for those in it.

Hope the trees stay strong...they seem to
cause a lot of the problems for folks.
