Last night I worked late. We got the servers (the main/important ones anyway) moved to the new temporary offices and got them wired in, and I was downstairs ghosting workstations and configuring them and all of a sudden it was nearly 8:00pm. Everton gave me a lift all the way home, as he was going somewhere near West Bay.

The lights have been on at 4-way stop in West Bay for awhile now. Subway is open there again, for starters. Two nights ago we were driving up NW Point Road and I saw STREETLIGHTS! unfortuantely they were on Town Hall Road (if you don't take the left fork onto NW point road towards the Turtle Farm, you stay on Town Hall Road, which leads you to Hell). Last night at the fork in the road, there was a streetlight on.. and streetlights heading down NW point road, too! I started getting excited! Power! wow! what was I going to do first? A/C? Laundry? ceiling fans?

The streetlights stopped about a block short of our house, right before Brittany Cove (where G & Darlene lived) WHAT a letdown! Damn! the good news is that while I was sitting at the table having a cup of capuccino this morning, I saw two CUC guys in hardhats walk past our place and around the side of the houses where the meters are, and when we left, we had to go around a big CUC bucket truck that was parked at the pole that feeds our complex! w00t!

I guess we'll have power back tonight when we get home! Our a/c units have been replaced (as in put back where they were, as opposed to being replaced with new ones) and plumbed/piped back into the building. Whether or not they'll work, or will work for an hour and then seize up I don't know. I can't see them spending the money to re-plumb them if they were bad, but I can't think of any way they could have tested them, either. Thankfully I'm already prepared for that eventuality. My little window A/C Unit from Superstar Mark in Austin is waiting for me down at Cargo.

Update! 0916 20.10.2004 Power is on! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
