Here we go again?
Alba was in Sosua today buying groceries and I had asked her and Cristian to bring back a 6 gallon container of diesel for the big generator. We haven't got the 1000 gallon storage tank completed yet so we've just been filling up the built in tank to keep running during outages that are now back up to 6-8 hours a day here. She ended up buying some from someone's jeepeta.
All of the service stations in Sosua refused her.
One of these mush heads running one of the stations said he had diesel, but he was saving it for the 'cars'. Say what? Someone please explain to me what difference it makes whether he pumps it into a car or into a red plastic container? Dominican 'businessmen'. I swear!
Anyway, anyone know what's up? The huelga? Government debt again? What? I sent a PM to my friend Greg at Coastal to find out.
Tom (aka XR)
P.S.
I swear if the outages continue, and they won't sell me RD$500 of diesel to keep the generators running here after spending US$7K on the project and being in the middle of my biggest programming project in five years, XR is going to go Postal! I'll leave a message explaining why and then take out as many of the idiot bastards as I can before they get me. :: smile :: I am kidding. Maybe.
