At four in the morning - the dog across the street was barking ferociously! Scott and I had awakened to the barking, which is always obnoxious. We were trying to go back to sleep when we hear this loud "pop".
Even though I'm not very familiar with gun shot sounds, that's what it sounded like to me. Scott agreed and thought it was either a shotgun or a pistol. Either way it was very close - since we didn't hear the dog after that, we thought someone had finally shot that irritating dog and went back to sleep. When Scott went jogging a couple hours later he stopped at the guard building and asked if he had heard the shot. The guard acted like Scott was crazy; he claimed he hadn't heard a thing. In the early afternoon, Louis, our favorite handyman here, was mopping down the stairs when he realized that blood was seeping out from under F9's door. A young Chinese woman. was murdered, they said assasinated - what the exact difference is I don't know. These apartments are in three different sections. A&B are in one tower, D&C are in one, and E&F are in another tower. F9 is just above us. So there were newsmen, policemen, and forensic people here most of the day. When we got in the elevator I asked Scott if any of the men checked for blood in our elevator - he said "Where do you think you are, in Miami? This isn't CSI you know". The manager of this complex said there is a woman killed here daily by men they live with. That's the second time we have heard that but didn't think it would be so close to us! At least it took our minds off the water for a while.
There was a meeting of the owners of the apartments here last night in the parking lot to discsuss the water - it turned into a two hour shouting match. We are just hoping that somehow they improve this water situation. We did have water for 1/2 hour today. If we keep enough garbage cans and buckets filled with water we can make it for about a day and a half
