[AsburyPark] Re: The Lights are back on!
I was really surprised to hear the power went out. I was glued to the radio and tv all night. No effect up here, although I was almost hoping so I could see what a real night sky looks like. I've been to the observaory off of 287 and its pretty cool. BTW - there are light pollution rules in some towns in the area. Makes them much nicer.hint hint The webcam of AP shown some really 'hot' lights shining out and up. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, sharon_b283 sharon_b...@... wrote: From 6:15 PM until 9:45, AP and surrounding neighborhoods were without power.

Ha! I should've had a party. It was such a surreal experience last night, with helicopters overhead, and the occasional silent convoy of PD cars moving thru the city. The thing that really struck me last night was how quiet the world was, and how dark a night really can be. Honestly, I loved it. No distracting TV. No computer. Just my dog, cat and me hanging out. I played guitar for them. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, dapawprint [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am never there when it is exciting... or am I? Jack had a Black Out Party!

[AsburyPark] Re: The Lights are back on!
What interesting to me is that people at work today are talking about how nice it was to spend a night at home as an actual family, instead of staring blankly at the TV while the kids are in another room either on the internet or playing video games. One coworker said that her family decorated their Christmas tree by candlelight. That sounds nice. I'd vote for a dark few hours one night a week. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, Jack Pitzer hinge98@ wrote: Ha! was, and how dark a night really can be. down it ft. lauderdale area, they had some lights completely covered over and others, just the ocean side blacked out.

Random comment from the story on the APP website: Although we were in the dark for a couple of hours, it was nice to have this time to sit with family members and be able to talk without the phone, computer, and t.v. interruptions. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 12/10/2008 9:34:42 A.M.
