power outage

The power just came back on after about 90 minutes without it. What was weird was the power went out, and a second afterwords, we heard a big huge explosion. Or what sounded like one. Maybe it was a tree falling on the power line and then slamming into the ground. Anyway, I did what I do every power outage: Play my Virtual Boy. Finding the other controller (the one powered by batteries, not by electricity) was easy. After a few attempts for it to power on and failing, I changed the batteries. Still nothing. So I blew in the cartridge (even though you're not supposed to) and it worked! I was ready to play Virtual Boy Wario Land! After getting a GAME OVER while fighting the second boss in level 8, I thought I'd have to start anew. Instead it took one of my treasures and allowed me to try the second boss again. I wonder what would happen if I got a GAME OVER and have no treasures, like I do now? I'll find out next time the electricity went out. I beat the second boss on the second try, and just as it was saving my progress, the TV came back on. Power was restored! But it might go out again. Who knows? Luckily I wasn't using my FlashBoy or C7050 Odyssey2 cart or Wii-U or anything special when the power went out. But power outages are unpredictable (and they suck, too.)
