Dorothy, You’re not in Kansas Anymore

There is a definite edge here, a hostility. People here say things have gotten so much worse over the past decade. One problem is hydro. I gather when the blacks took over the country they were in a hurry to get rid of whites in high paying jobs. The problem was they didn’t have the knowledge to run hydro. So the maintenance required on the equipment was never done. Now ten years later the equipment is not working and too expensive to replace. The government is addressing this problem with rolling blackouts. The previous night we were warned there would be a city blackout. As we lay in our bed in the night a large mob came marching down the street. They were really angry and we were quite scared. They were making a lot of noise. Our hotel here has a gate and a couple of guards. We had our imaginations. I could here a pop pop pop. I was trembling. The mob moved past our hotel but it took me a while to get back to sleep.
