Highlights of chat with Gary
.
He was standing/waiting inside the China-man's place to get out of the rain TOO

He was on his way to work ... do his photo thing-y @ one of the Rui resorts, in Negril...been working there for over a year. Still doing gigs 'round Lucea, and other places, on the side.

*discovered* that outside the China-man store,
was ALSO a pick-up spot for several Negril resort workers
....employees ride FREE, back & forth .... and get free meals on their jobs
........this day @ this time, was Gary & 2 other ladies....they waiting for the 2-pm pick-up
............nice job-perk na tru ---- no taxi fare expense ... i.e., Ja $250 one-way to Negril.

asked him
where he living now.

he-SAY:::>> has is OWN place ... not renting anymore.
.....long story short:::>> some-somebody had a place to rent, but opted to SELL the board-house .... cost::>>> JA $18,000 .... brain fuzzy right now, but i *think* he told me that he *moved* the entire house to from original location to now-location.

to-me-self, me-*THINK*:::>>>>>> ''''...ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... $18,000..... ummmmmmmmmmmm ready-made house ..... ummmmmmmmmmmmm...'''

fast forward, to a likkle while ago, this evening:::>>> i told my landlord about my chat with Gary
lol
lol
lol
the Devil made me do it..
lol
lol
lol
YOU HAD TO see the look pon landlord's face when me told him

lol
lol
lol

we chat 'bout Negril
1.......business slow in Negril
2.......LOTs of place undergoing renovation and/or are closed but will be open in time for high-season ...'bout December-sh

an aside:::>>> that Grand Palladium resort, over-here by Lucea, NEEDS a paint job BAD...!!! .... presently it has a nasty drab color.
:-(
that sea salt, and tropical air, etc, will mash-up things in QUICK fashion.

another aside:::>>> some of you-all remember Mahogany Hotel in-Negril, from waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day........ Well, '''..The Doctor....''' is finally building something(???) on that site .... zinc fence is up, and things gwan, as we speak

ummmmmmmmmm... I KNOW exactly who to check, to find out EXACT-ly what's gonna be built there .......... stay tuned.


you won't believe all the renovations, demolition, etc, that's going on on the Hanover Parish side of Negril ----- they overhauling and redoing the entire strip. Me-personally, don't think they gonna be ready by high season.

this could have an effect on prices for lodge-ing this coming season ....... i.e., supply & demand

most importantly,
I told Gary about my *issues* with my landlord.
...Gary shook his head, in disbelief


'cause 'twas raining,
purchased an umbrella from China-man, while standing in store
JA $350
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Gary & I shook heads, as we looked pon each other,
'cause BOTH knew price too-high

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
so it goes

nevertheless,,,, bottom-line::::: >>> IF you ever stay @ Rui, LOOK for Gary .... good guy..!!...trus me

...to be continued,,,, with new item....
