Thanks, Peter. No, not much development if you can't even turn on your computer (or see without candles). But it was interesting to see people be very neighborly in a way that I don't often see when we do have power -- people were hanging out on their porches and talking late into the night. And without the streetlights you could really see the stars. There was some looting near me, but it was stopped pretty quickly and the police really seemed on top of things. People were directing traffic at certain intersections voluntarily. There was one guy who saw he couldn't lock up his store, was afraid of looters, so he got out his guitar and had an impromptu kumsitz (singalong). About 20 people joined him and a couple of policemen came and joined him as well (according to my neighbors). Only in New York City.
