BROWNOUTS IN MENIFEE


"agur-uray ti pusona
iti kuarto ti adu a laglagip
iti sungadan ti parbangon
dagiti am-amangaw, alimbasag
ken tarimbangon."


  A little bit scary to experience brownouts in an American community. Occuring  one after the other, the first was at 6:00 PM, lasting at least ten minutes; the other at close to 8:00 PM, when the Philippine sitcom ,"Strawberry Lane", was being aired. Sometime later, the lights went off briefly. It gave us the creep;  our son and his wife who are US citizens were in the night shift.
     The reaction could be from Philippine experience, where electricity suddenly goes off especially during the night and bad elements break into homes and robbing them of valuables. Homeowners sometimes are killed protecting their dwellings.
      Located in the Palomino housing project in AUDIE MURPHY RANCH, our two-story home was acquired last May by our son and his wife, both nurses in an American hospital.
     It's 9: 12 pm and the blogger hopes the efficiency of the American system holds out. My wife and I are in our fourth month in America as immigrants.
