Still a mess on some area's. Horrible I know it won't help if we say that we feel for you.
Also quite peeved off that some power companies who came to help (from the south) were turned back because they did not want to sign up and become Union members. What the??? Can't people's immediate needs (resoration of power) trump the rules (must be Union in order to work) in case like this?

Wow...I had no idea! It seems you just can't get away from politics, no matter what the venue...

Hey, I thought Oboma said no red tape, do what you need to do to get it done! That is very sad to hear : (

sad, but true. ny has to be the worst that way. and may lose power again tonight. horrible winds in this new storm.

I doubt Obama has much to do with NYC union rules...

Thats at the state level, nothing to do with Obama. we had problems like that in ct last year, our power company didnt pay some of the other crews so they didnt come and help until they got paid. Its all about the all mighty dollar.

i hope you are doing okay John

no new disasters, but Still cannot get gas for car!
