    The Location Of Harris Station

    That is a great find. I'd like to get out to Hampton Station one of these days. I was out there with a friend a long, long time ago, way before I knew much about maps and whatnot - it'd be interesting to see what might be left.

    Atlantic City Electric energy source

    That's an interesting breakdown. I wonder if the numbers will change month to month.

    High Crossing never disappoints

    The only reason people are using it is to see if they can get through those puddles. You can't say that it's a "high traffic" road if 99% of vehicles can't traverse it. I don't know about filling it in - it removes a big puddle, but also lets people get back to more sensitive spots to damage.

    Sandy aftermath

    Just a quick update: I've been back for a little while now. Signed a lease for a new apartment - up in Monmouth County. Have graduated from sleeping on an air mattress (that deflates during the night) to a real grown-up mattress (that is on the floor.) I'm working on getting internet and...

    Sandy aftermath

    I am happy to have spent the night out of New Jersey last night. Went up to NYC to visit my friend and his new bride. Took three hours to get into the city because the Lincoln Tunnel was all jammed up. A bus hit my truck (only pushed the side mirror in) and some jerk in a pickup almost took out...

    Sandy aftermath

    Yeah, thankfully the bay side of things were protected by the barrier islands which (so far as nature is supposed to work) did their job and buffered the mainland. I just have mud all over the floors. FEMA just started to haul out garbage today. It's going to be several weeks before...

    No, although there are pics of two houses that I wanted to buy a few years ago. I have a pic of the house with all of my stuff at the curb waiting to be hauled away. The house itself, from the outside, looks alright with the exception of some missing siding and a destroyed gutter. All of the...

    Sandy aftermath

    Power is back on at my mom's house. You wouldn't believe the devastation in my neighborhood. Every house has a mountain of waterlogged stuff out by the curb.
