It happened on my block last weekend as well, but just for an hour. Last night it started around 8PM and tried twice to come back on – once for ten minutes and again for ten seconds. I finally got AC back a little after midnight. I was able to play music (thank God for batteries), but everything else in the apartment is electric. I couldn’t even read because I was afraid to use up the batteries on the flashlight and the candles were useless. (Need one of those little book lamps.)

Just made Kuwait even more boring than before. Could be part of an (of course) unannounced rolling blackouts. But on my way to work today, I noticed two big generator trucks in the parking lot next door. So my hope for tonight’s movie may also be short lived.
