   I was in Chicago then. "Blackout? What blackout?"

   But for the most recent one, I was in the GCT Tramsit Museum    
   Annex, the lights flickered and went out, but it was daytime and   
   I waked over to Madison where an express bus to Spuyten Duyvil    
   juzt happened to be, and I even had a seat all the way,   
      
   When was that? 2003?   
      
   Oh, yesterday afternoon there was a power interruption for about     
   1 minute. That sometimes happens during a thunderstorm, so maybe    
   PSE&G was doing some sort of fair-weather servicing for a moment.
