Costa Rica Power Problems – And God said; “Let there be light!”

But ICE was having trouble with an exploded transformer and three damaged turbines in the last few months, not to mention low water levels at the electric dams.

“I can’t do anything else” thought the Lord, “I’ve already given them abundant rivers and solar light thirteen hours a day, with a celestial guarantee seal, twelve months a year ¡God forbid this place was Norway with only four hours of sunshine in the winter!”

“That’ll show them that it’s not easy having a monopoly!” He thought from above, He who doesn’t tamper with messy electronics, He who had nothing to do with the blackout that just happened in the Vatican: there’s no “limbo” theologians declared, as if we don’t have enough of it on this side to declare, for certain, that it doesn’t exist over “there”.

I don’t know if there are blackouts in Limbo, in purgatory or in any quarter of eternity, but lets leave that for next week.

Let’s talk today about earthly things. Blackouts are used by thieves, lovers, the boyfriend on the couch (another type of thief) and those who want to politicize using the “blackout” as their excuse.

ICE should show it’s face for the sour milk, the spoiled meat, the lost business, the car collisions; and we should too for the wasted water, the deforestation around river-beds, and the garbage flowing down our streams. This monopoly is everyone’s.
