I really don't see how long time residents can stand it - unless they have a generator.<BR/><BR/>How could the former government use up power? It is constantly being generated, at least I would think it is. I haven't heard anything about a deal with Greece to export power, Greece just made a deal with Italy in fact, I don't think Greece has ever had enough to spare. Especially with me living here. =pmelusinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096116965055620488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14858228.post-1131320414896963942005-11-07T00:40:00.000+01:002005-11-07T00:40:00.000+01:00About the power situation, I used to get spotty po...About the power situation, I used to get spotty power on Guam too when I was growing up there. The power plant just did not have the capacity and so some villages were turned off for an hour or more each day, of course unannounced. I am glad you got a generator. I don't think I could bear it now that I have a laptop.Gia-Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992947311477100789noreply@blogger.com
