Science Fair a success; casualties light

03/19/2007

We had a fun and successful science fair at my children’s school last week. I’m pleased to report that casualties were kept to a minimum, and most of the injured have been released in guarded condition.

Repairs to building itself began promptly on Monday, and it should only be a few weeks of minor inconvenience until everything is back to normal.

While I didn’t personally witness the fire in the library, we suspected that cotton balls and an artificial smoking apparatus were involved.

The building-wide power outage was a special treat. At first, we thought the extra large Van DeGraff generator had simply pulled too much current and blown a breaker. But the whole building went dark, not just that one room.

Turns out there was a substation fire downtown that took out our lights (and those of about 40,000 other customers). I was delighted to hear that news, because that meant…

WE DIDN’T DO IT.
