Load shedding at new levels

This was the view from my car around 5:30pm around 1 mile from my home. (Notice the dead robots and the guy in flourescent directing traffic. Do you also see the taxis creating their own lane on the left to drive by. Crazy drivers!)

It's been like this each day commuting back from the office since last Thursday and it's supposed to go on until Friday. I really hope my patience holds up. Apparently, there are insufficient energy sources so someone decides to flip the switch every couple of hours to give others a break from a power source. However, today broke the 2 hour rule, at least in my neighborhood. Here is a picture of my apartment at 9:00pm.

Can you say toilet by candlelight? And forget about the warm dinner- I had cold lasagna.
