I just got one of the two pairs of socks I won in the Magick for Terri fundraising auction last spring; I suspect I'll be wearing them soon, since it's starting to feel a bit like winter. I'm posting this partly as a belated follow-up to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
minnehaha K's query a while ago about whether other people had gotten their auction winnings.
Governor Cuomo has issued an executive order allowing New Yorkers who have been displaced by Hurricane Sandy to vote at any polling place in the state. The details: this is limited to residents of the federally declared disaster area—New York City, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, and Rockland—and if you vote outside your legislative district your vote won't count for that district. (It's not clear to me how overlapping but distinct boundaries for congress, state assembly, and state senate affect this.) But your vote will count for president and senate (yes, we have a senate race).
Most of the subway lines are up and running, though with fewer trains than normal, but we don't have good information about most of the remainder, and what we do know is discouraging: it will be months before the A train is going to the Rockaways again. My hunch is that the MTA wants to avoid saying anything specific that they may not be able to deliver on.
