I see that Nassau County, Long Island south of Sunrise Highway is being evacuated. That’s my homeland! In Merrick, Sunrise was the big east-west drag, with the Babylon Line of the Long Island Railroad running alongside. Our house was around a mile south of there, although it’s gone now, replaced with a McMansion. Anyway, given the canals running through that area, I can easily see how it might end up underwater.
Also, I’m glad we visited Coney Island and Brighton Beach a few weeks ago, while they still existed.
Wow.
Meanwhile, I’m filing Monday’s column, or at least a draft thereof, today, so that even if New Jersey is plunged into darkness, the show will go on.
Note to Mr. Krugman: I've been to Merrick. Nice place. Made it all the way ta Joisey, didya? I'm not sure that's the direction I would have strived for. New Jersey plunged itself into darkness when it elected that roly-poly fat fuck as governor.
... Merrick ...
ReplyDeleteDad in law lives in the next town north of Merrick. Who knew Krugman was a South Shore Swamp Jew? You have to be a Long Islander to appreciate that.
Yeah, Secaucus Fats blocks out Jersey's sunlight. He's been on the TV every hour, yelling at everybody.

ReplyDeleteI fuckin' love it! Thank you for your unique perspective!
The thought of Gov. Chris Christie evacuating is beyond horrifying.
