Miss Ginger's Microcosm Get Back to Normal

Miss Ginger has power! Miss Ginger has phone service! Miss Ginger has cable!  Miss Ginger's house has been Celiacized- which is a VERY beautiful thing! (Miss Ginger was quite tired of dirt!) And I can hear MB blowing Miss G's lawn.  An OCD lesbian with a gas-powered lawn implement is a very sought after thing right now!  So Miss G's residential staff is back in place and her FABULOUS life gets back to normalish.

Things outside of Miss G's little microcosm are note so cheery.  Most of the downed trees and branches have been chopped up into neatly stacked piles of debris awaiting pick up and haul off.  No one seems to be working on that.  Many traffic lights remain dark, some are simply flashing,  and others are fully operational.  That makes driving kinda tough: one has to stay very focused not to run a light or get honked at!  Most of the groceries are open,  but not particulary well stocked,  and perishables are pretty much a rarity.  And most of Miss G's neighbors won't get power until next Thursday.

Miss G's neighborhood is the one indicated by the red arrow- the 2nd from darkest blue!  Miss G must be living right to have power back already!

The crazy girl's car (see previous post) is still at the end of Rick's driveway, and I'm sure he's sick of driving around it. Three of America's Favorite Department Stores have been damaged beyond immediate repair,  and will have to surveyed and analyzed to determine the feasibility of reopening.  So much for Miss G's bonus this year!  I guess a lot of people are much worse off than that!  The new stores in NOLA are still on track, and the opening process has only been "minorly inconvenienced" by the 2 hurricanes.  Miss G is exhausted from all the hard work and travel,  but opening a new store is fun so it makes it all worthwhile.  She's headed back to Metry on Sunday!  TTFN!
