sitting on side of road

have known him since he was an infant
...good kid

my gut tells me WHY he sitting there,
but ease MY-pain from what i knew he was gonna tell me I make-joke:::>>> ""..school closed today...???...""

""..No .... no money..""
""..for taxi..???..""
''..yeah..''
''..how much..?? ...'..... Ja$200...???..'
''..no.... Ja$400...""
""..for both ways .. back & forth..''

Monday
in Kingston
while walking back to the bus-park to catch ride back to Lucea

saw a guy selling jelly coconuts.
...HAD-TO have one.

''..how much..??...''
''..Ja$60..''

i was shocked --- ain't heard that price since PJ was PrimeMinister

""..one, please..''

as he fumbled preping the jelly,
it was obvious that he was *new* at the jelly-selling thing

.
.
a guy was watching...and overheard

''..HOW MUCH your jellies..??''
''..Ja$60..''
''...I'll give you Ja$30...''

* sigh *

sounds like somebody
'bout to give the rookie jellie-vendor a learning/teaching moment, na tru

as some of you's may know,
my current *vocation* is yard-work:::>> cut/mow lawns, play with weeds, elementary/minor landscaping, flower garden design, blah blah.

i love love LOVE chemicals
don't need no organic roses, tulips, etc.

well,
the other day was in the Lucea farm-suppy store
...checking things ..'cause they got some NICE tools, and things that WONDER-fully back-ah-foreign ... tools better made ... much better than HomeDepot from-China stuff.

in display case me see:::>> Round-Up ULTRA ...!!!! ????? !!!! ???!!!

''..huh..'', me say to self

to sale-guy me say::>> "lemme see that bokkle please.''

i read the specs, instructions, etc

this Ultra-stuff will kill bushes AND trees...!!!!!!

.
.
Lawd-a-mercy..!!

i MUST take some of this BACK-to-foreign,
unless Amazon carrys it.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm
which reminds me:::>>> folks always chattin' 'bout how Jamaican stuff is so ''natural'' and ''organic'' and blah blah
lol

the other night,
logged on to AmazonPrime
to check some free movies
to play on landlords tv
