And the rains came

Well I have been doing a lot of blogging because it was so hot, and I spent most of my time in an airconditioned room.

One thing about hot season is that brownouts are common, because of low water levels for hydroelectricity.

But now the monsoons have come, and there is just enough cloud cover to keep the temperature below 95 degrees...

So we go outside a lot more.

The bad news is that we have lousy sewers here. The streets downtown flood with the rain, (not here: We have a ditch to drain it to the river). And we have gone to the "Waltermart" mall, and the street infront of the mall is also flooded. Since the High school is across the street, it is a traffic nightmare even without the flooded street.

In the meanwhile, the transformer down the street exploded again, so our electricity comes from the generator.

All of this on and off messes up the computer connection, so until things settle down blogging will be on and off.
