Hey hey heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey...!!..
:-)
I'm CURED...!!!..
tip-top
100%
that next-warm-GingerBeer and the Excelsor(sp?) water crackers did the trick.
opps..!!..
mi rude
forgot my manners.
so,
good-GOOD mawn-ing to
all you's out there
in boardie-land
[[ continue-ing ]]
this is to get past
that idiot first-post
google-ad
ok
mi back
Today's *plan*
upload some videos
while same-time post some stuff
then post some videos
and do more-nothing-ness around Lucea
*probably* zip over-to Negril
shoot some videos
and post from there
[[ Negril-associate with Claro said i could use there laptop ANY-time ]]
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........
Gift Ideas
1...Coat hangers... nice ones
ummmmmmmm...even though some might not have someplace to hang-stuff (e.g. closet), the hangers WILL come in handy... [[[i've got to shoot a picture of what frequently is done for clothing::: a basket... soon come]]
2...when giving clothing & stuff, ALL-ways REMEMBER & keep-in-mind that a significant number of folks don't have washing machines. Sooooooooooooooooooo, what ever you give, it GOT TO be able to withstand handwashing, in cold water. I haven't seen too many ~~~hardly ANYone ever~~~ using drycleaning services.
Weather
Yesterday, no rain
..maybe 'cause i had my waterboots on all day
today, and yesterday
humidity not as oppressive
even though no rain
opps...!!... i mean 'liquid sunshine'
even though none fall, the area is still damp, ground moist, potholes full-up, mud still mud:::: stuff not dry-out yet, even though hot.... high humidity
no biggie eh
after-all... it's the tropics na tru
Slow Season ?????
this status always puzzled me
..'cause to-me i've-noticed that this is a great time to be down-here
with all the rain
oops..!!..
with all the liquid-sunshine
stuff is greener, the foliage is fuller, it pretty pretty
...in a way prettier than the busy-er HighSeason
the bonus is:::>> there's more shade
therefore, though hotter, cool-ness is easy-er-ly found
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
but if you on that-beach & beach-front
the coolness/shade-thing-y is off-the-table
bottom line::>> Jamaica nice .
huh..??
you-ASK::> what about hurricanes (and tropical storms)
mi-SAY::>> "..Shush..!!... DON'T chat about such things.."
:-(
more soon come
continue in a few minutes
Yeah man, you are in the right place.
Come rain or shine.
I will go get a pack of hangers for the family.
Good tip.
Glad you are feeling tip top shape.
Now, you can unleash the full energy of SMITH on the island.
Island folks be ready!
Mr. Smith, please do a youtube search as follows, "man free jamaica" no quotes, select and watch the 2:18 (two minute eighteen second) movie trailer. You will not believe who is a BIG movie star now. I hope he isn't too hitey-titey/ stooshy to hang out with now. I'll find out in 12 days.
* whew *
i'm back
over an hour ago, i went outside for a smoke.....to chill
..and to do some window shopping

:-(

....mainly uniforms & shoes
Well,
I've been thinking about something from-long time
...for many years

...'twould be a great bonding-moment opportunity na tru
anyhoooooooooooooooo
i overheard one guy telling the mom:::>>> "..NO..!!.. only one pair of socks ... will get another later.."
* sigh *

oh
oh
oh::>> one more thing
a *theme/mission* of this trip is gonna be:::>>> "..Myth Busting.."
i'm SO-sick of some of the foolishness that has been left-to-stand as fact, all too often, on this board.
For one thing, some of the route-taxi bull-manure chat jus' drives me crazy
...i'm gonna fix that
...with videos
...photos
...and testimony from several taxi-men, and passengers
nevertheless,,,,
back to other/former topics
While standing in line to pay
...i was behind a bunch of children
....each with a uniform & some shoes
......but they weren't paying
there was a lady & man paying for everything
mi say:::>>> "..ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm WHAT's up with that..??.."
once me done paying
went outside,
saw a van chock-full of pickneys
..about 20-30 off them
ummmmmmmmmmmmmm
mi turn right around
..and re-entered store
hunted down the man & lady
found man
"..Sir.." <<<:: mi-SAY ::>> "..What's going on blah blah raa raa.."
for 'bout 10-minutes he & I chatted about what his church was doing for the pickney-dem for back-to-school
[[ to be continued
in this thread ]]
p.s...
new *plan*::>> NOT going to get to Negril today
...that uniform mash-up my daily budget
I don't know that I have ever seen a grown man in that uniform. You setting some new style trends over there? revisiting days of youth ?
Loving your reports, keep them coming please. Thank you!
Oh mr smith......you just HAVE to post photos of you in your likkle school boy uniform.......pleaseeeeeeee!!
Lol
grown men wear the "khaki " as a uniform ..an ex is that some truck owners use shirt and pants as their work uniforms. they are tough to wash by hand tho..
