* sigh *
why why WHY
..do i feel like Roy Scheider
...who played the police-chief in the movie '.Jaws.'
..??...
..when he chat-to the city-officials
about the shark

anyhoooooo.....

this discussion reminds me
of when I moved to Chicago
...on the lake-front
...and would splish-splash in LakeMichigan
...like everybody else

UNTIL Chicago boss-man
issued a *warning* one hot Summer weekend
that the pollution-levels were too(?) high
and folks shouldn't get in the lake

that was that,
and i never got in LakeMichigan again either/neither

nevertheless, that's a helpful Ja-plumber list
..but no 957-telephone extensions (for Negril)
..no biggie::: they *probably* all got cell-phones
...i'll ask around when on my August-trip

btw ~~ i still wish somebody(s) would tell me
what dem pipes are for/doing
that i saw buried under the beachfront sand
running out-to/from the sea

oh,
and one more likkle thing-y

ONCE upon a time,
the day after hurricane-Ivan,
as i walked the Negril beach-front

i was *amazed* at the debris
that had been regurgitated from the sea-bed
and deposited on the shoreline

I *think* Ivan hit in September
..and there was debris that looked like
..it was from Spring-break
.....lots of those funny-looking tall plastic drinking cups
.......and a bunch of other trash
.........'twas really bad around the Margeritaville(sp?) section of the beachfront
