LIGHTS OUT


The internet - on again, off again, on again, off again, S-L-O-W, on again, off again, OUT.

The lights are out in Balikpapan. Here's the story I got. Seems sometime, in the middle of the night (Wed-Thurs), someone, somewhere, on the other side of town, drove a truck into something, that caused a small explosion - and now all the lights are OUT.

I'm not actually sure if that's the real story, but in the mean time - there's no electricity in town. No street lights, no radio and no AC for most people. At our house - means the compound has to run the GENSET (generator) 24/7. The genset runs on diesel - fingers crossed they don't run out of that. Mostly business as usual though - malls are open with limited lights, hand written receipts and they do have AC. Hmmm - Ok, now that explains why it seemed like the whole of Balikpapan was there yesterday.

TODAY: Friday. Half way gone already and it's a BBC Night tonight. Later - enjoy the weekend. Good to Go!
