New Jersey

I stuck it out longer than I would have because they got Jersey City and Newark back online so quickly, and Irvington is right next door. But as of Friday, the trees were still on the electric lines, and the neighbors say they haven't seen a single PSEG truck yet. During the day, people are around checking on their property, but at night, it was a ghost town -- no candlelight in windows, and even my landlord is gone. PSEG says three more days at least. So I, too, have self-deported, complete with a 20-inch computer monitor, to a motel near Newark Airport complete with prostitutes. And I'm sending FEMA the bill.

I've got a mini-fridge and microwave so I won't have to eat junk food every day, and I'm going back to Irvington on Tuesday to vote. But most important, the hotel's WiFi has kicked in so I can stop texting by phone, making me a full-fledged DUer again!
