Almost immediately, there's a cacophony of intense cheering and whooping from outside. The power is back on, after 5 days! I lean out of the window and do a little screaming myself. People are hugging each other in the street. I take a walk and everyone's smiling and high-fiveing. I hoofed it straight over to Whole Foods and purchased a refrigerator full of food, and noticed in the process that nobody west of Broadway has their power back yet. Feel so sorry for them! 

Yep, I know how you feel. Last year around this same time we had another storm that was actually worse than this one... at least it was worse in CT. Anyway, the power was out for over 9 days. Yes, 9 !!!


Not fun at all, but man, did it feel good once the power came back on. 


Glad you're back in action there!

All good in this part of New Hampshire. We lost power for a couple of hours. We actually had a micro burst that really trashed some neighborhoods on the other side of town though.

Hallo, sharke.

Glad you've finaly got power back on.

Your post shows that Wodehouse is good in almost every situation.


Take care.

It's impossible to be unhappy while reading P.G. Wodehouse. It sure beats getting drunk. 

I'm not sure Tuppy would agree..

Wow not sure I could handle 9 days. I think I felt ready to snap this morning. Mind you, having no power is probably different in a big city like New York. For example, walking home through darkened streets I was surprised to see candle lit apartments up on the 30th floor and higher in some buildings...and these hi-rises had no working elevators. Can't imagine having to slog up 30 flights of stairs to get back to a dark and cold apartment. But some people did. The streets were very scary too...getting mugged at night is always at the back of your mind in New York, more so on streets that were in some cases completely pitch black.

There's the difference, most of the Drones like to get as p***ed as a newt, Gussie just likes newts..

It's a shame because the one time Gussie did get lit, the results were perhaps some of the funniest words ever written. 

FWIW: I'm ok. I'm in the Hudson Valley area about 80 miles north of NYC. I'm in the hills in an apple orchard are so there was no flooding. My neighbor, however, also has a house in Staten Island and we haven't seen them since the storm so we are concerned. Hope everyone is doing well, and if you can, please contribute to the Red Cross for those less fortunate. Peace!

I have a friend in Garrison who fared pretty well - I was a bit miffed that he had his power reconnected before me though! Was hoping to gloat.

On the topic of trampolines, couldn't you just turn them upside down?! Surely that'd do the trick!

 
Definitely easier said than done!

Come on! I deadlift 310 lbs! 210 is nothing! Haha


I forgot that trampolines these days have the big saftey harness things and are round! I grew up on this, so forgot that times have changed ;) And they were just a tad lighter than 210 lbs :D
