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

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
