Power to the people

The building in the picture houses the generator for the village. There were two of them but one broke, went away for repairs, never to be seen from again. The result is that the power is rationed out to the community. There are two schedules, Monday through Friday from 5 till 9. Then 12 noon to 2 in the afternoon. The final leg of our daily rationing is 5 to 9 in the evening. On the weekends it is 8 a.m. till 2 p.m. then a resumption from 5 to 9 again in the evening. It's ok if you have electricity in the house, I do not. My biggest dilemna in this is trying to keep the hand held electronics charged. I have to carry a plastic shopping bag with the re-chargers in around fulltime. The reason being is that I never know when there is an available outlet around when the generator is on. I also have an hybrid solar charger than has been a godsend as of now. But there is never enough time to ever charge anything to it's full capacity. It is one gadget plugged in ten minutes here then anothes 5 minutes there. The solar charger for half an hour here and there. The reason is that it would get up and walk if left unattended. But a good point is that the electricity is free. That's until the end of the year. Then we're supposed to be hooked up to the grid. What I am interested in hearing is what the people will be saying about having to pay. Going from the out house to the big house is easy. It's the other direction that people have trouble dealing with. So from free to pay, well I am sure someone will mutter a few complaint words. So that is how it is and will be as it concerns our electrical power supply. I'd write more but the generator started and I need to search for a plug to charge up this phone.
