   Hi John...   
      
    AA>> Currently experiencing another power outtage. Laptop is OFF to conserve   
    AA>> the measely 4hr batt. Meanwhile, the BlackBerry runs longer for this type   
    AA>> of thing. Power went out pretty much right at 2pm. It is now 4pm.   
   Estimate   
    AA>> for repair is 5:15pm but crews are still not on site.   
    JD>  You're fortunate that you have predictions that are so specific and that   
   have a good chance of being on time.   
    JD> I live in what is essentially a small fishing village. We have fairly   
   regular water and electricity outages. repairs to the electricity has gotten a   
   lot better, but water outages are a lot more ... random.   
    JD> This puzzled me for about the first six months that I lived here, until   
   one of the local guys that I had befriended took the time to explain it.    
    JD> it turns out that the water system has a main poi t where the pumps etc   
   are and this place is locked. There is one local guy with a key. most often   
   the problem is simply to go and ip a switch because a breaker has tripped or   
   something similar. The problem is that the one guy with a key is often   
   difficult to get ahold of because he is  either drinking (you have to find   
   him), passed out drunk (he's been found literally in a ditch between the bar   
   and his home) or he's out to see fishing, so might take six or more hours   
   before he's back on shore.   
    JD> JD   
      
   I remember you telling me that story. Omg. Make copies of the damn keys when   
   keys found drunk and keep the spare key under the mat or flower pot! ? +1. :D.   
      
   Ciao!
