Antsy Tuesday, Waiting For Outcomes

Obsessing over our power - here's part of the problem at Crescent & Seventh.

Seventh is still blocked off at Watchung.

This pole by Swain's has yet to be fixed.

The storm left this "cobra" lamp dangling.

Still no traffic light, just a stop sign.

And here's what the National Weather Service predicts for Plainfield tomorrow.

Stopped back at the apartment, couldn't find the cat anywhere. Investigated a lump in the comforter and found him hiding in the folds, obviously terrified. Trucks are dumping off logs in the lot next door and then a front loader is tossing them in a huge container, making lots of super-loud thumps that shake the building.

Went to Family Dollar and found no batteries, but this display. Sandy is just the season between Halloween and Christmas, apparently.

Hoping this evening will bring election results, but like power restoration, it may take a while this year to know the outcome.

Best wishes to all humans and pets for heat and light soon, if you are still waiting.
