If It’s Not One Thing…

After days without power (ok, really it was a few hours on a couple of days, but you really get addicted to that air-conditioner), there is now little or no water. Since there hasn't been more than 10 seconds of rain per week in the last 3 months, the country is experiencing a bit of a drought. To combat the problem, the National Water and Sewerage Authority (NaWaSA) has shut off water supply to the entire nation from 8am - 4pm daily for this week, and possibly longer. Tomorrow it's rumored to be "all day." I'm not sweating it though — I've been through a hurricane where I had no water and didn't shower for a week. (Guess that's getting back to my European roots - wait, actually, that's only the French that don't shower.) Anyways, for some reason (gravity, etc.) we have had water even when it is technically "shut off." Not a lot of pressure (must be whatever is leftover in the pipes), but it works. People living elsewhere aren't so lucky, and actually do run out of water. Hopefully, our luck continues, otherwise it could get a little smelly. :???:

19 more days!!! :-)
