I was still living in Kali in early 2001 when rolling blackouts were dumping power in my neighborhood for 2 1/2 hours at a stretch. The apartment where I was "camping" (a sleeping bad on an air mattress) was well over 100 degrees inside and no electricty to run a fan. I'm not advocating the wet bedsheet as standard daily practice.

My "fix" during those blackouts was to stay late at the office and go to dinner at an all night diner in an unaffected area. By 1 AM, the power was back on and the outside temperature was in the high 60s. 20 minutes with the box fan on "high" was enough to blow all the hot, stagnant air from the tiny apartment.

I was in the first Rotating Block last year to get it, and lo and behold as we head into the new summer, I am back in the same situation as we cycled thru all the blocks, and I suspect we will blackout again, hopefully, not in june like last year, but who knows... What with all the weird weather , El Nino, contrails, HAARP, etc, All I can say is if we do go under the waTT line again, It couldn't happen with a nicer fella at the helm of the state to answer for it. SmiLe, GraYouT :-)
