Yesterday smelled like popcorn. Well, more like burning corn stalks. There was a haze over the entire city.
Last night there were power outages. Different neighborhoods for an hour or so each.
This morning Carlos tells me that the water might be cut today, so he fills pots before he leaves for work.
Now he tells me that there was no power in his office this morning, and that this afternoon our neighborhood probably won't have any.
WTF?
Apparently there is a bit of a drought here in Cuenca, in our river basin, in our region. The major energy supplier for the country is a hydroelectric plant, downstream from us. Thus no rain means no flow which means no electricity. Maybe I haven't been reading the paper or watching the news enough, but nothing about this problem was mentioned until yesterday.
Let the conservation begin.
