Old folks can't get NO-respect ____ :-( ___

early-early yesterday morning,
as i walked back to the house
after a *visit* to the outdoors rest-*area*
don-ed in my nice foreign powder-blue pajamas
..
feeling irie
minding MY-bizness

a young-neighbor-lady
was strolling up the road, puffing on a handrolled *something*(?)

she-SAY:::>>> "...YOU can't sleep in briefs..???...... gotta wear pajamas like an old man...??.."

* sigh *

SEE what i gotta deal wit
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

.
.
later,
same day
in town
some elderly ladies were poke-ing fun at an elderly man,
who had on some slick nice-looking cargo pants

dem-SAY:::>> "..you must have a lot of money in those big-pockets, in those young-boy pants.."
.
.
The Lucea/Jamaica/Negril vibe is changing in quick-fashion

Holiday DONE...!!..

the pace has slowed,
the smiling faces are fading,
and
it's game-face
and game-attitude time,
once again.

tomorrow monday
the pickneys go back to school

from-foreign returnees are leaving, have left, or will soon leave for where-ever(s)

these past few days,
the vendors were frantically trying to get those last-few Ja-dollars, that may have been left-over from Christmas

there's no lines at WesternUnion office

I'm waiting to see
how many
and which businesses will close over the next few weeks... should/could be *interesting*

It's now or has been a Boom-Time in Hanover/Westmoreland

as mentioned,
in an earlier post,
things have been looking VERY-good for Ja-folks down-here over the past few years.

i'll post some videos, pics, and post SOON, on this subject

for example,
there's now an auto dealership in Lucea

there're a couple of new malls being constructed in-town, and around town

Lotta new cars, new vans, new taxis, new route-buses, new everything have/has popped-up over the past 2.5 years, since my last visit.
