We spent our leapsecond reading books by kerosene lamp as the
power failure continued...
And, no, the power failure wasn't caused by the leapsecond, but

After watching Blade Runner (the director cut) reposition on a TV
channel, that ended just one minute before 2am local time, I watched my
nixie clock to, as I was expecting, held 02:00:00 (local time) by two
