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!
