Just got home from the conference and then hanging with friends on Frenchman.
E-mail from ConEd telling us our power has been restored.
So hopefully our neighbors in our building will be warmer tonight.
Now, do we have internet?
We're never satisfied.
This is seems to be where Mayor Billionaire is different from Romney. He heard the 99%, and canceled the Marathon, which we've also just learned. Starting that f*cker on Staten Island, which is devastated was the worst thing he could have done. And that was just for starters. People hated him for putting up these two giant generators in Central Park to minister to the Marathon, while the rest of us don't have hot water or lights. That was the move of a mayor who sees his city as a theme park for tourists not as a city that functions as a place where people live and work.
In the meantime, just like in New Orleans, the tourists are starting to tour the Dead Zone and Staten Island and New Jersey.
You can see why everybody here in New Orleawns understands everything.
Wherever I go, any little local bar, I am greeted as a sister. And then, invariably, somebody says: hey, wait -- I know you (meaning mostly Ned) -- I've talked to you a lot, in the Bywater. Haven't seen you for a while this last year. Welcome back!"
But then, that's why we are here.
And Ned never stopped working the whole time, until tonight.
Gods, I'm lovin' on New Orleans tonight. And it is gorgeous tonight, o so gorgeous.
