so Skip who had been at "Spiderman" at the movie multiplex several blocks away [and somehow the movies there were not interrupted, though Skip said the elevators and the escalators did not work] could not get upstairs until the power was restored.

He had hung out in the park in the middle of the block, and there were a lot of people who congregated there. Of course, no one knew the power would get back in before midnight until it actually went on. But the pressure really was on Con Edison to do something quickly.

I guess because so many Broadway shows had to cancel, because the Times Square billboards all went out - it took on a visibility that the same number of blocks (as many as there were) might not have had elsewhere.

Also - so much money would have been potentially lost if the Sunday shows had to be cancelled too (not just the shows, also all the tourism money that relates to a weekend matinee).

But having it solved before midnight was very good news, though a surprise. if we'd known it would be just 3 or 4 hours when it happened, we probably wouldn't have ben as worried.

It never fails. As soon as I find something the cats like on Amazon, it immediately vanishes. They loved a brand of bonito flakes and immediately Amazon stopped selling it. So I just bought the Catmandoo bonito flakes, which stink to high heaven, and Annabelle won't go near them. Stella and Thatch love them but I do not love the smell.

It's the same with J.B.'s bird food.

Spent an hour with my friend Jan, who has been battling ovarian cancer. She was in good spirits, but she was hoarse. She had had an esophageal exam on Friday and apparently the tube they inserted left her without a voice.

John G. · « **Reply #68 on:** July 14, 2019, 02:04:48 PM »

Her husband, Jim, loves to talk and would likely have talked for hours on end, but I could tell Jan was getting tired. They had had guests, eucharistic ministers from her church, before Joy and I got there.

Tonight is a movie night with friends from church. I'm bringing peach ice cream and some other sort of ice cream to be determined when I get to the store.

Happy Fete Nationale!

(What we would call Bastille Day. My friend Deborah, who moved to France recently, said nobody in her part of the country, near Lyon, had ever heard it called Bastille Day.)

Sunday afternoon greetings! We attended church with Rob and Mary Linda today and they took us out to brunch afterwards. Richard and I have spent the rest of the day inside in the air conditioning. It’s brutally hot here and very, very humid. I think we also have an air quality alert

ChasSmith, see if it says restoration on it. I'm not sure that's a good one, but if it's the same transfer as the French, which is what I have, then you'll be very pleased. I do know it came out in the UK - but if it's 2.35 it's wrong.

Damn. No “restoration”, and 2.35. But I had a feeling that I remembered it being criticized on its release as being not much better than a stop-gap.

A challenging matinee, thanks to the MD’s MacBook failing on him ... not once, but thrice ... during which times it was on me to sightread heretofore unplayed parts in Mr. Kugel’s lovely hand. Ah, the magic of live theater.

TCB, please let me know which CBD cream you try, whether you find it effective, and whether there's much smell. About a year ago I tried one and it did help, but it had a strong smell. It was expensive, too--$45 for a small jar. Although I'm pleased to see new painkillers on the market I suspect that CBD's current popularity is driving prices up. I find the Arnica Rub to be equally effective, with virtually no smell, and much, much cheaper.

I don't think that any of the topical creams can handle really severe pain, but can be used effectively as part of an overall pain management program. That said, I'm interested in your feedback.

And now I am off to the neighbor’s for a bit of outdoor foodstuffs and libation. A couple of hours relaxation on this Sunday evening will be good. The week is going to be a humdinger. So is the one after that, but let’s take it one week at a time.

Power was on in our apartment before midnight. The media actually gave a warning before 8 pm that electricity could go off in more places around the area, that it may not be limited just to what's already been hit -

Glad you had some warning. Even a few minutes are helpful.

Then, a surprise nice feature about apartment living - a few maintenance people started going from door to door even though it was late, but better safe than sorry - to make sure there were no medical emergencies.

What a nice thing to do!

I'm up, I'm up - was up briefly at nine to move my car out of the driveway, but I don't think the fellow who's moving into the back house has come yet, so that wasn't necessary. But I went right back to bed and just got up, so over nine hours of necessary sleep.

I suspect you'll be giving him a copy of GEE so he can get to know the previous resident a bit.

Jeanne · « **Reply #87 on:** July 14, 2019, 03:21:02 PM »

Or maybe he'll just listen to the audio copy.

Glad all the NYC HHW'ers survived where were you when the lights went out....a Doris Day reference....

Yes DR FJL that's the set up - although in the play the doctor is making a house call and George comes out of the kitchen to hear a telephone conversation the doctor is having with a cardiologist about another patient.

The link you posted yesterday about WOKLAHOMA! does not encourage me to buy the CD or the tracks - it does just the opposite....although I am sure it will be popular with the gullible populace who want the latest and greatest and most WOKE thing that is trending RIGHT NOW.... Sounds hideous to me....and the preachy and talking down to us text was also awful.

But that's just me.....the SJW's can have it.
