#5 I'll bet that now is the last minute down-for-maintenance period prior to the Olympics. Sounds like they gambled and came up craps. But it may still have been necessary to avoid the same problem later in the summer.

#6 When I was in Greece they used to take the power grid down twice a year for preventive maintenance (usually for six hours). Even with that we still lost power at least four other times during the year (on average). Not too bad in the summer but the cold winter nights were not very nice. Sounds like things havenât improved much sine I was there. What say you Aris? Lights on all the time now?
