An OTBKB reader sent in this recollection of the blackout of ’03. She has a swimming pool in the backyard of her brownstone. Ooh La La.

    I have a swimming pool in my backyard & I invited a bunch of neighbors over for a midnight swim.  We lit candles around the perimeter and all sat having cocktails (had to use up the ice before it melted, right?) & cooling off.  It was a lovely evening.
