25 years ago today, right at midnight, my uncle cut the power to the cabin my whole extended family was staying at for the Y2K new year’s. My grandma went nuts. She had stocked up a bunch of non perishable food and supplies and was a Y2K true believer. All of us kids were completely flabbergasted for a few minutes.

My uncle seized a once in a millennium opportunity for a practical joke and got us all. Absolutely legendary.
