Basically in the short term, we will have some good electricity if it does not rain in October the cycle begins all over, and this country is going to have to make so hard decisions about the electrical infrastructure. It is what it is.

What else is there to say.
I recently had a happy, happy consultation with an American. At the same time, I am reluctant to divulge the nature of the unhappy conversation, it reminds me that there are currently several expats that call Ecuador home, for whatever reason, you must understand one of many things, the security situation in the country has devolved, from on of the most peaceful countries in Latin America to looking like Colombia in the 90's. The reason I could go all day on how we got here, but for those of you that live here I will spouse a moto that was popularized during the WWII "loose lips sink ships" some of you unenlightened humans to impress poor uneducated women because let's be clear only poor women will be impressed by you most of you are not mack daddies none of you are dating Ecuadorian IG models, perhaps they will look good. Still, they are as sophisticated as rocks. There is a reason why these women are poor, and, in the grand scheme of things, like most women on the planet, they fight for hierarchy or to impress other women, mainly, which is good, cool, and totally predictable. What is not cool is when your potential partners decide to flex and spouse such information to the ether, the security situation in the country is not great nor will it improve tomorrow this is why I will continue to encourage people to go to the brothels to look as struggle as possible better for locals to confuse you for a broke ass hippie backpacker that someone of value because targets of value get targeted especially on these dates which are holidays. Everyone is expected to pitch in resources, either donated as gifts or as social status, so keep your women in check, tell them as little as they need to know, and tell them not to share such information and shut the fuck up.
This story seems to have been buried under everything else that's going on:
