Me, a candidate for Nobel Prize .. for Medicine
.

FiNALLY,
after alllllll these years,
i've *figured* 'IT' out ::::>>> '''...WHAT ARE the ''..itchy's..'' ..????...'''
.

the other-evening...late ... after sunset
..walking on the One-Way in Lucea town
.....on the way to catch taxi to-country

i felt something-someting[[??]] bite/itch my arm(s).. around my wrist.

actually,
it wasn't a 'bite' .... but it did itch ... and rashed ... and did a pimple puffy thing
.
.
WHEN i got home to-yard
i grabbed my Sawyer bug spray
and
sprayed
the problem-areas

Voila..!!!..
..itchy GONE ..!!!!... INSTANT-taneiously (sp?)

Conclusion::::>>> the '..itchy..' is caused by an animal ..... a teeeny weeeeny animal something (??)

i'm gonna contact the Jamaican Tourist-ism Board,
and tell 'em to put my discovery
in all their travel brochures

[[ an aside::>>> some may be concerned 'bout the price/cost of the Sawyer bug stuff ..... but dem do say:::>> ''..you GET what you pay for, blah blah blah..'''

i've played with a LOT of bug-repellent products ... a LOT .... including the stuff they sell here on-island.... but NOT even the Ja-stuff is as good as the Sawyer stuff...... ..... soooooooooooooooooooo, you've been warned/advised ...... you can play-cheap, but you gonna get bit/eatten-UP ..!!.. .... and itch like Hades (sp?) ]]]]]

the other day, yesterday,
while walking to Lucea-town
along the *new-lye* paved road

[[ MORE about the new-road in another post soon come .... quite tale to tell ]]]


as I rounded a curve
i was surprised ..... by 'bout 15-20 likkle likkle baby goats, and their peer-rants coming up the road toward me .... with their goat-master trailing behind them

''..Wow..!!!... you got nuFF goats..!!..''

he smiled
.
.
TODAY,
@ 2pm,
after listening to JoanWilliams on the radio
i stepped out on the verandaH
and saw the goat-man

we chatted
....told him i wanted to check him, next time he brought the goats 'home', do do a video

''..I'm going to get 'em now .... at my *farm* .... wanna come..??..''
''.. Sure..''

i ran into house.
..put on my water boots
and joined him

down the road
...around a couple of bends in the road
......we went into the bush ...... decended the hillside, .... and wormed our way to the goat tie-up site, and his farm
.
.
THANK Heaven ..!!!... for muscle-memory
* sigh *
it AIN'T easy walking in the bush
:-(
...over the years
i've done this, and if you not in shape, and have the know-how/talent, it can be a challenge :::: gotta watch your foot placement .... use proper balance, or you fall down ... tumble down the hillside.

goat-man's farm was NICE..!!..
..all kinds of food growing ... tomatoes, papaya..okra...pumpkin,,,peppers...and a bunch of other stuff..

'''ummmmmmmm..... WHAT dat.???..'' <<<< me-SAy

the leaves looked *familiar*

''..marijuana..''
''..oh..... though so..''

'twas a nice farm visit.

..stay tuned ... some videos soon come...
