We had a couple of nice rains and although it cleared the air here in Tarakan, Palangkaraya's air is still heavy with smoke. We keep praying for lots of rain.
I don't think I have mentioned the scheduled electricity outages. Each of the neighborhoods takes a turn having their electricity off for about 4 hours. Yesterday's outage was supposed to have been from 9 to midnight but it didn't happen. Saturday is our turn again; this time from 8:30 to noon. Usually, it is around 10:00 before the electricity actually goes off. It stays off until approximately 4:00. I collect water to have on hand since I depend on an electric pump for my water supply. I really notice the warm weather when there are no fans to stir the air. But since I know there is an end in sight, I can endure. :o)
Next week I get two days off from school due to Eidl Fitri, the end-of-Ramadan holidays. I'm not real clear what goes on those two days so I will have to update you after I have lived through it.
