Hey, now. T'wasn't me. *I* was still at Pennsic during all the hurrah. 
The ruckus really wasn't felt at Pennsic except for some rumors that 
there was this big blackout or something. Although I suspect that this 
time the blackout was likely more noticeable than during the last big 
regional one that hit during Pennsic. Then, I remember stories about 
folks at Pennsic who never knew about the blackout. Now there is more 
electricity being used at Pennsic. Luckily the blackout didn't seem to 
affect the Pittsburg airport. It didn't even occur to me that the 
blackout could impact the airline schedules until I got home. Since I 
simply had my ride drop me off at the airport, a shutdown or delay of 
flights might have affected me.
