Weather-wise...???

for the past couple of days
i *thought*
it was JUST ME

:-(

but even the on-island Jamaicans
are saying:::>> """... it's HOT...!!!"""

.
.
i'm on Santa's '''..naughty'..''' list

this trip-extension thing-y
and few other things
i've been devilishly doing
have got a LOT of folks
upset, perplexed, vex-ed, confused, etc etc.

it's VERY *interesting* how many people
you don't see,
when they *think* you've flown-back
to-foreign.

makes you go::::>> ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
.
.
to you-boardies,
i apologize for not posting lately
...i've been busy busy busy

today,
i painted the new door
and two others
with
outdoor OIL paint

* whew *

that oil paint is
wicked stuff
.....hard to apply
.........and takes AT LEAST EIGHT hours to dry

but,
it's worth the bother,
'cause it'll protect the wood
from the brutal Jamaican elements

ALL DAY yesterday,
was spent with the electrician
......he did a WONDER-FULLLL job
and
he & I had a full day of lively, & enlighten-ing (( for me ))
conversationS.
.......virtually, it was a no-holds-barred chat

for example:::::

1.... i asked him:::>> """...with ALL this land on-island,
how come there ain't more farming going on....???...''''

he looked pon me
...paused
........then-SAY:::>> """...some-people want fast-money...''''

* sigh *

i was hoping & praying he wouldn't say something like that
......but it confirmed my *suspicions* for all these years.



2....I asked him about the *trend* for young-young-YOUNG ladies to *breed* at such an early-early age

i held my breath
...waiting for his response

he-SAY::::>>> ''''...it's the cool thing to do....''''

I was flabbergasted.

i DID NOT expect that response.
.
:-(

.
.
from time to time,
today
i'm going to be adding things
to this thread

maybe a couple videos, as well

it all depends on what Jamaica ** throws ** at me
....from now 'til mid-night-ish

..
stay tuned.
