Yup, weekend before last I was halfway round the supermarket when the power cut out because everything was overloaded between the HVAC and lots of extra fans. The tills worked off UPS, but lights, fans, and aircon were gone … by the time I got through the checkout I had trouble putting things in my bag and handling money because my hands had gone numb!

Partly my fault, because I walked there and planned to let their aircon cool me down, so I was too hot before the power cut. The locals avoid unnecessary movement, and they cope with the heat much better than my pasty white arse.

Next weekend I’ll be taking a bike taxi there, not walking. Thus, producing more greenhouse gasses just to exist :-/
