He Spoke Too Soon

The other day everyone in our neighbourhood got a memo stating that our electricity would be out from 08:30 to 15:30 today, as they were working on the lines.

This was not really inconvenient because our power goes off every other day or so, usually at the worst times of day - the morning rush or dinner time. In fact, I found it humerous because we were actually being forewarned, which involves planning and scheduling... two things I have had to chuck out the window in order to survive Africa (in other words, be really, really flexible).

By 15:29 our power had not gone out even once. Dan said, "I guess they're not going to do it today." And just as he finished his sentence, the power went out.
