Aug, 2003.
I think I was 2.
Standing in the living room at our old place (when I was 7 we moved out of there), and watching a red tape (I think it was a tape my mom bought for me on my grandma’s death anniversary) spin around.
It was one of those “Toddler Tunes” tapes. Suddenly, the music stopped.
The power had gone out.
(Later, I learned it was the August 2003 FirstEnergy blackout).
