The Red Stripe bottle shortage in Negril should be eased somewhat now that Bogger and PGW have gone back home.

'round February 1st
some *dividends* you won't be aware-of, won't see, won't recognize ---- but they're there. The big-plus is that the *dividends* won't be flowing just in the *neighborhood* ----- they'll be trickle-ing down along the beachfront, in-town, and other-places in Hanover/Westmoreland.

Smith – Me ‘ave t’ree bokkles that me gonna put aside for you.
Last posting I said I was going to talk about the Top Three Negril Tourist Complaints. I’ve decided to put that off for a while, since yesterday’s post about visas could have been considered somewhat negative – which is not how I meant it, at all - I was just sayin’. So I don’t want to risk casting a negative pall over my report by talking about tourist complaints. Not that I consider such a discussion negative – but some might. So . . . latah.
Yesterday, mid-afternoon: A huge crackling thunderclap broke directly overhead the yard. Got me right up off the couch. It caused car alarms to go off all around us. More thunder boomed off in the distance and Booby Cay was shrouded in rain. I love thunderstorms and I was looking forward to a good ole tropical downpour to freshen things up. We have such a great vantage point from which to watch storms roll in. Unfortunately, this one’s bark was worse that its bite.
Later in the afternoon everything was quiet. I heard a guy coming up the road, talking loudly, apparently to himself. He was having a really good rant. As he got closer I could make out some of what he was saying. He was laying down a long blue streak of “Bumbas!” and “Rass, dis an’ dat!” and some conjugated ‘Pussies!’ and a lot of other things I didn’t catch. He was clearly pissed at somebody or something. He stopped in front of our gate and loudly held forth for about a minute, flailing his arms about as he did so. Then he carried on. Bea and I were both listening to his rant with interest. As his tirade faded away down the road, Bea looked at me and said, “You can’t buy that kind of entertainment!” She’s right. It was another priceless Negril moment.
Here’s another one:
Walking down the road today, near the Corner Bar, we came across a guy who was washing his car. He was rinsing the car off with a hose. As we approached he directed the water stream at a woman who was standing beside him. He doused her from head to foot. Then she lifted up her shirt exposing her bra, and he hosed her chest and belly down. Then she pulled the front of her shorts open and he filled her shorts with water. OK – nerver seen that before, a roadside bath – of sorts. But this is Negril and ones sees a lot of ‘different’ things around here.
!!!! STOP THE PRESSES !!!!!
I have an important announcement to make!
I have a new ‘Best Gizzada in Negril’.
Check it out – see how nicely mounded it is. The pastry was flakey to perfection and the filling was al dante and soooo devine. It took me a full ten minutes to eat this culinary masterpiece, I relished every morsel. Check it out:
