Discovered this morning that the cat sitter ran the washer and dryer. I can't figure out what she washed and dried unless it was the towels she certainly didn't wash my clothes. i can tell because she used different settings than i use. Bizarre

The temperature has dropped and it's getting windy. I ran to the local drugstore and was amazed by the line waiting to check out. The place is generally empty.

The actual Annette house is across the street to the west - I'm the northeast corner house, she was the northwest corner house. Her daughter lives across the street but is the southeast corner house.

But the party across the street is going strong and the noise is quite obnoxious, but then so are the people who live there. It would seem they did all this work on their house just so they could have this party. In fact, the house was painted TODAY - I mean, the paint isn't even dry.

Be glad they had a set date all the work had to be completed by, and was completed. Otherwise it would likely have taken a couple of more months to complete.

Good morning, all! I slept very late, and my shoulder is indeed better today. Last night, before I went to bed, I took a muscle relaxor and industrial strength ibuprofen. Once I passed out, I slept quite nicely.

I am out of coffee! I am not happy about such news, and a bit angry at myself for not checking stock yesterday when I finished what was in thefridge. So, i have to go out and I'd rather stay in.

I am debating a trek to Toyland, but I think I will stay here and try to tidy this mess. I will be glad when this new refrigertor is delivered, since a lot of the mess is frm the kitchen area.

Great news about your shoulder and sleeping well.

Good luck finding coffee!

Governor Cuomo has announced that the MTA will begin a shutdown of the subway and commuter rail service in New York City beginning at 7pm tonight. Some news sites are saying there will then be no service until sometime Wednesday.

Here's the official notice:

NYC To Close Transit System

The MTA has been directed by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to begin an orderly shutdown and suspension of all subway, bus and commuter railroad service at 7 p.m. Sunday. The decision was made to protect customers, employees and equipment from the wrath of Hurricane Sandy as the strong storm continues its march up the east coast. MTA Chairman and CEO Joseph J. Lhota announced that service on NYC Transit subways will be curtailed beginning at 7 p.m., and the bus network within the following two hours. Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad will start their finals trains by 7 p.m. from terminal locations. Subway and rail road stations will be closed after the last trains pass through stations. Outbound Access-A-Ride trips are being scheduled only until 12 p.m. today, and return trips will continue until 5 p.m. Any previously scheduled trips after that time, including subscription trips, are canceled. Customers are advised to adjust their plans and travel early in the day as possible and not wait until the last train or bus. Anyone who does not leave for their destination before 7 p.m. runs the risk of being stranded when service is suspended.

Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North will also suspend service at 7pm. Bridges and tunnels will remain open tonight unless wind speeds exceed 50 mph. The PATH system has not yet made any closure announcement.

Vibes everyone can make it home today!

Winter time has started so all the clocks have gone back an hour - or at least they would if I could figure how to change the time on my digital watch. At least the mornings will be lighter for a time. I hate getting up in the dark.

We have another week. My hiking group has already switched to winter time, we leave at 9:00 instead of 8:00.

I was pleasantly surprised to find my normal seasonal allergies were absent in California. Frankly, I don't even remember if I was bothered much by that kind of thing when living out there. But then yesterday morning, by the time I was in the airport terminal, I noticed my nose and eyes running like a gazelle. A simple Benadryl would have taken care of it, and even helped me nap better on the plane, but I thought of that too late. Maybe it was the lack of sleep more than actual allergies, because I feel fine today.
Maybe all that recycled air on the plane had something to do with it.

Could be. I find my allergies aren't as bad in L.A. as they are here or when we lived on the East Coast.

We saw something interesting on our drive home today. We were southbound on I-75 and noticed a state highway patrol motorcycle blocking an on-ramp on the northbound side. Then we noticed there was NO northbound traffic. The next on-ramp was also blocked, then we noticed a steady stream of those motorcycles followed by a steady stream of highway patrol cruisers. Sure enough, eventually we saw the Romney/Ryan campaign bus, followed by lots of SUVs and busses. I knew Ryan was due in Celina, OH, at 2pm, so I wasn't really surprised. What I didn't know until CNN told me just now, is that due to the storm Romney cancelled his appearances in an east coast state and has joined his running mate's bus tour through Ohio.

Regardless of your politics, this was pretty amazing to see on the road.
