Apparently we weren't that far from being part of the Blackout of 2003

We were just 2 cities away from the cascade.

...which was all brought to home a little while ago when the power went off. Apparently various places around New Circle Road and even in Harrodsburg (a city a couple of counties away) were out, but people near UK were alright. It only lasted a few minutes. I've been through three during work hours and about six total since I moved to this section of town, between ice storms and local tranformer issues, so I just grabbed my flashlight and continued as normal. Still, I have windows in the library. I feel sorry for the lady who was in the bathroom when it happened. :)
