I didn't get the impression that aol was having a problem like it did
before; there are some aol people on 2 of my other ngs who've been posting
okay.

Too bad we missed the witty posts. ;-)

Cathy

Maybe they weren't quite as witty as I thought? Hmmm, could it be?

Well, otoh, I haven't been reading all new posts on rpch+b, so don't feel
too bad. g

Were you affected by the power outage at all up there?

Candace

A little; not much, but that's right here - it varied widely - very
sporadic. A friend less than a mile down the street was w/out power,
whereas at my house the power must've gone out very briefly, 'cause my
computer'd shut down & was coming back up, and my phones were out, but otoh
the clocks weren't blinking, nor was the microwave, VCR etc. - they were all
fine. I had a brownout for a bit, but full power came back quite quickly,
so I was lucky.

I was thinking that it's a good thing it was a clear night last night Vs.
raining, otherwise all of those peole who slept out on the sidewalks in the
city would've been extra miserable. I was also wondering how many peolple
thought to sleep in Central Park - on a bench, or in the Sheep Meadow, say,
instead of on a hard sidewalk.

It sure would have been scary, I think, to not be able to get home and to
sort
of be homeless for a night. I guess everyone was pretty well behaved,
though,
at least in NYC. That was a very strange occurrence.

One fortunate thing is that this wasn't one of New Yorks' hard winter nights.
What a nightmare that would have been.
