interesting evening...
About half an hour before the lights went out, I tried riding rollers on my fixed gear. Mere minutes into it, the (13 year old) roller belt broke. OK.
So then I put the road bike on the trainer, after fixing the flat it's had for weeks, about to climb aboard...and everything goes black.
Let me tell you, it was interesting making my way across my cluttered basement and up the stairs. It was a little alarming, also, when I had no cell connections. I began wondering if NYC was bombed, or some other serious shit had gone down. It was nice to find out it was just a substation going kerblooey.
Mrs. ChrisG arrived home, told me of roadway chaos and the big flash she saw from the Parkway (we live just north of Neptune, where the substation was), we had cereal for dinner, and the lights came back on around 7:30PM.
I wonder what sort of chaos erupted in the malls and other shopping centers? How about downtown Asbury?:hmmm:
