So I'm stuck in traffic on my way to a second mall where I will fail to find a shopping trolley - beloved object in Istanbul, so much better for the carless than lugging home groceries, and apparently unknown here. I have a lead, though, and I'm hot on it. Hot is the operative word, of course. 36 degrees and 52% humidity of hot.
What we have here is a woman jay-walking while not looking where she is going, a man without a helmet carrying a load of God knows what on the back of a motorcycle, while in the background, a man leans a ladder directly against electric lines - please note, the ladder has no other means of support - while he attempts to affect some sort of repair to those same cables.
When I got home, sans grocery trolley, my hydro had been off for 26 minutes. Coincidence? I think not.
