19 years?  Seems like only a decade ago ...
Out here in California the great blackout was only a news story.
I was growing up in a rural farm town.  We had flaky power lines
that went down at least once each winter.  Most people wondered
what all the fuss was about.  Just another power outage.  Why don't
those Easterners just light up the kerosene lamp again...
