The day the lights went out

On Thursday, jayne and I showed up to the Mac to swim at 5am. It was a normal 15 degree Michigan morning, except for one thing.
As soon as I opened the employee entrance door, I noticed something odd...The lights in the MAC pool were off. I've seen tennis and other court lights off but never the pool.

Luckily as I walked by the glass, Isobel was already swimming and the guard was in there. I was like a little kid, knowing it wouldn't last, I ran to change and get in some dark swimming. we had just enough illumination from the gym to make it safe. It was a treat I will not soon forget. Out of the hundred of mornings I've spent in the pool, I have never had that happen.

It wasn't quite "my lake" dark but it was a nice change from the normal operating lights.

Great swim too Jayne!!!! I'm proud of you.
