[Individual Rights in NJ]

I’m right here with you on the UES.

Irene didn’t even tinkle on us. I’m hoping for the same but am prepared... (whatever that means, I have tons of food, water and flashlights..../shrug).

I’m on the UES, too...Irene resulted in waking up to two twigs in front of my building. The stores were mobbed this morning...I spent hours getting a few provisions. Stay safe, FRiend!

Right back at ya. Stay safe. If we lose the power (please no!), I already lined up a friend who lives 2 blocks away to play Scrabble. If I can make it to her house. The good thing is, we are on higher ground in Queens, not in any flood zone. But the streets could still be "splashy" and the winds could still bowl me over. So, we'll see.

My cats will NOT be happy with the howling wind. They hate t-storms, for example. The lizards, on the other hand, cope a lot better. Nothing bothers them except if I'm late with the crickets, LOL.
