secondly,
as Rob frequently reminds us":::>>> Do NOT believe nothing ... repeat nothing... that you hear, heard about, were told, blah blah blah ....

you won't believe the foolishness I've been told
that turned out to be 'bout 10% true,
once [for example] I seek-out the person who had been talked-about, and asked THEM for the REAL-411...

and even then, I take the info received with a grain or two of salt.

.
.
thirdly,
Digicel is pure bandit..!!..

Been Running into a LoT of folks
i've known from looooooooooooong time(s)

earlier,
when leaving to catch taxi to-Lucea town, then to-Negril
...a young neighbor-lady was waiting for taxi too

[[[ i've know her ever-since she was 'bout America junior high school age ]]]

''..Hey, Lady .... you look like a big-woman, business woman...'''
''..Going to work...''
''..WHERE you work...???..''

over the years,
i've watch her grow and mature, and develop into a wonderful young-lady

over the years,
have seen her 'round Lucea-town,
first at a China-man notion store
..then later at a haberdashery type store.

'''...I work in MoBay ..... in a call-center..''
'''...call-center for WHO...??..'''
'''...Delta airlines...'''

'''..oooooooooooooooooh ..... lemme hear your call-center telephone *voice*...'''

we laugh together,
'cause her *normal* speech pattern is PURE-Patois
.
.
i get nosey-nosey,
and ask questions about her job.

hours..??.. ..... 5pm 'til 2am
[[[[ when we chatted 'twas 3:30pm ... and the MoBay call-centers @ the FreeZone is only 30 minutes away .... she leave early-early, not to be late for work ]]]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
off @ 2am ....???? !!! ???? !!!!

''..HOW you get home at 2am..???...''

'''...I stay at the job ... at the building ....until FIVE-am, when i can catch a taxi...''

then,
she comes home
and go to bed/sleep

* sigh *

Jamaica NOT easy, na tru

oh
oh
ooooooh::>> observations 'bout Negril

sadly,
:-(
Negril-folk are returning to their bad-old-ways ::::: too much trash & debris around the place

to me,
'tis so bad
it looks worst than Lucea-town use-to-be,
before Lucea-town step-ed up to plate and started cleaning up their/it's act.
.
.
they doing some SERiOUS construction on the HanoverParish side of Negril
...'bout 2-3 new/rebuild all-inclusives under construction

do you old-timers remember ''..Mahogany..'' ...??..
well,
that lot/spot is gonna be something [finally]
...much building going on there

.
one day SOON,
i'm going over to that part of Negril
to see whagwan

probably 'round lunch-time :::: buy & eat some of the good-good food for sale to the constuction workers ....GOOD prices der, fi SuRE & good food

seen at construction site:::::>>>> cars cars cars, vans, truck and MORE cars .... NOT company cars, but PERSONAL cars .. nice cars .... Jamaican construction workers make goooooooooood money .....

oops..
i mis-counted ::::::: more cars

.
.

in fact,
to my eyesight & gut
from Negril to Mobay
along that main road/highway
EVERY Tom, Dick & Harriet is doing GREAT !!!!
...... the area is pro$perou$

did you-all know/notice:::>>> there're TWO nice new gas stations around GreenIsland
..Texaco AIN'T build no-new gas station if there ain't money to be made.... believe DAT...!!!..
