Well, this post was conceived under odd circumstances...
I just had a power outage! And a very weird one at that. I was coming home from my Robotics competition, which you can read more about later, and after I stepped out of the car, I heard a very loud static-y sound emanating from the sky, somewhere southwest, and then a huge, flickering, blinding light tore across the clouds. At that point it all went dark for roughly a minute until the power came back online. I did a short news spot for my school news team and then took a shower. now I am writing this blog post, hooping that this means school's cancelled tomorrow.
I think that a lot of speculation is in order at this time. I witnessed the outage roughly six blocks from a naval base, and I think that a military experiment is very likely. the origin of the sound, light, and the general proximity all put the base in a shady light. For now, we will be left to speculate though.
In other news, my robotics team competed at our second tournament today. We didn't win anything, but making it to a tier-2 tournament is respectable in itself. It was, unfortunately, my last of six robotics tournaments in the First Lego League, and my age will put me out of eligibility. It was quite the run!
Have you ever had a power outage? Do you compete in the FLL? Do you believe that there is a major military conspiracy at work here? Leave your answers in the comments below!
