Yesterday, I wanted to stop by Cable Onda. If you didn’t know, it has moved. It is still on the same one way street, but a few blocks earlier than before and on the left side of the street. They used to be located to the right of Daisy.

I have water this morning. I hope it stays that way. I do notice that all of the water that is coming out is very dirty. That is the way it normally is following a time of outage. Hopefully, I won’t have any more posts on water problems for a while. I have had water [...]

Water came on long enough last night to bath, but it is off again this morning. Bummer.
8:00 PM Update. Water has returned. Shower time and fill up the pots and pan times. We will see what tomorrow brings.
