    Old folks can't get NO-respect ____ :-( ___

    early-early yesterday morning,
    as i walked back to the house
    after a *visit* to the outdoors rest-*area*
    don-ed in my nice foreign powder-blue pajamas
    ..
    feeling irie
    minding MY-bizness

    a young-neighbor-lady
    was strolling up the road, puffing on a handrolled *something*(?)

    she-SAY:::>>> "...YOU can't sleep in briefs..???...... gotta wear pajamas like an old man...??.."

    * sigh *

    SEE what i gotta deal wit
    grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    .
    .
    later,
    same day
    in town
    some elderly ladies were poke-ing fun at an elderly man,
    who had on some slick nice-looking cargo pants

    dem-SAY:::>> "..you must have a lot of money in those big-pockets, in those young-boy pants.."
    .
    .
    The Lucea/Jamaica/Negril vibe is changing in quick-fashion

    Holiday DONE...!!..

    the pace has slowed,
    the smiling faces are fading,
    and
    it's game-face
    and game-attitude time,
    once again.

    tomorrow monday
    the pickneys go back to school

    from-foreign returnees are leaving, have left, or will soon leave for where-ever(s)

    these past few days,
    the vendors were frantically trying to get those last-few Ja-dollars, that may have been left-over from Christmas

    there's no lines at WesternUnion office

    I'm waiting to see
    how many
    and which businesses will close over the next few weeks... should/could be *interesting*

    It's now or has been a Boom-Time in Hanover/Westmoreland

    as mentioned,
    in an earlier post,
    things have been looking VERY-good for Ja-folks down-here over the past few years.

    i'll post some videos, pics, and post SOON, on this subject

    for example,
    there's now an auto dealership in Lucea

    there're a couple of new malls being constructed in-town, and around town

    Lotta new cars, new vans, new taxis, new route-buses, new everything have/has popped-up over the past 2.5 years, since my last visit.

    [[ continue-ing ]]


    in the country-side,
    where i frequent,
    there're a bunch of new NICE likkle cook shops, and other shops all over the place ..... not sure if this is because of the holiday,,,, time will tell.... but there're for-sure a bunch of folks doing biz-ness-es up here/der in dem der hills & valleys & gulleys

    'bout 2-3 weeks ago,
    a returning resident
    opened a new high-end, high-fashion designer-type ladies store in downtown Lucea

    the merchandise is VERY VERY VERY nice ----- snazzy, jazzy, modern, sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

    the shoes...!!!...???...!!!....
    i dunno where these tall-shoes dem selling come from, but they sure do look nice (and dangerous)

    i chatted briefly with the store-owner-lady,
    and gonna try to get an on camera interview
    to share witcha

    she said bizness WAS good and that there WAS DEFINITELY INDEED a market hungry for what she selling.

    YOU GOT TO SEE this store/stuff.

    .
    .
    oh
    oh
    oh:::>> 'member dem bags-of-oranges i mentioned yesterday,..??...

    because i was busy typing a trip report for you's,
    when got back to check the lady
    to buy some oranges,
    she AND the oranges were gone

    :-(

    i guess she sell-off, na tru




    Jelly Coconuts


    as most of you's know,
    i'm an advocate and practitioner of "..at LEAST one jelly-coconut per day.."

    quickie info for-ya::::>>> right now the going price seems to be 'bout Ja
    $150 each ---- in Lucea AND in Negril.

    in Negril,
    you gotta check the guy who usually set's up in front of the ValueMaster::::: he has nice fat jellies ---- depending on size, the price might vary to as much as Ja$200, but a Ja$150 is sufficient

    in Lucea,
    i've got a Saturday hook-up::::: there's a guy who sells his jellies for Ja$70 each ..... when i catch him, I'll get two, usually ---- and today I had three, and one more to take home to drink later. .... Jellies are nice, taste good, refreshing, and GOOD for you & your body ...

    ummmmmmmmm
    i'm gonna chat up my regular Lucea jellie man and see if he'll consent to doing video on jellies and how to eat/drink those gifts-of-Nature..... stay tuned
    .
    .

    Developement (e.g., homes) in the area


    Folks have been rockin' & rollin' over the past few short years around Lucea .

    in fact,
    from Lucea to Negril,
    ESPECIALLY the OrangeBay area
    houseing development has BLOWN-UP..!!..

    oh
    oh:::>>> dem closing the place
