More...Some *highlight* Thing-ys

1....WHY is it that ____ _____ ____..??.. ... i gotta come all-the-waaaaaaaaaaaaay to Jamaica, to find-out HOW to down-load stuff from YouTube ~~ BOTH video(s) AND (if desired) just the music-part.

for-YEARS, in-foreign,
i've been asking folks --- folks i *expected* would know how to do it, but NONE of 'em knew how

but,
here in Jamaica, in short-fashion, somebody told/showed me how to do it

AND:::>>
they *taught* me how to convert my videos to DVD format

* sigh *

i love this place
:-)

p.s.... a BIG-Thank-You to boardie-JamaGinger for that TarrusRiley video --- nice tune ---- 'tis NOW on my tablet and pc, and my-playlist(s).

did i mention..??..:::>> i love this board & it's family, TOO.
.
.
2....*speaking*-of "..family..":::
for some weird/strange reason, a LOT of folks have been referring to me as "..Family.."
dem-SAY::>> "..Bill, you family.."

the paranoid-side of my likkle-pea brain don't like this reference
:-(
but my heart smiles
.
.
3....'member young-lady renting land for sports bar/shop..??.. ------- Well, there's been a *change*.

an update --- latest...as of yesterday evening
Landlord canceled the *arrangement,
and returned the rental-monies
BECAUSE:::>>> the *community* told him (and landlord's mom) not to dew-wheat .... because of this & that & various reasons blah blah raa raa.

stay tuned --- i don't *think* this is over YET..!!..

4...my new shoes --- (pic soon-come) ---- they NICE..!!..
:-)
fit good
well made
repaired VERY VERY well..!!..
...'member these are left-behind-shoes from the shoe repair man.
.
.
5...I'm not '..walking..' good/properly
:-(
I (i.e, a foreigner) walk *different than folks do down-yonder-here

i think i figured it out::: for the most-part, they walk flat-foot-ed,,, where i do that heel-to-toe thing-y... plus,they (especially the ladies, it *seems*) walk using the ENTIRE leg .... from foot, ankle, leg-portions AND the hips.

Hip-wise, their stance is kind-sorta wide-legged, so thighs don't rub together.

but it's mainly the flat-footed thing-y I've got to master.
'cause i'm having leg/knee *issues* ---- ergo one reason i got the *new* shoes

the other day,
i went to the Lucea health store,
and ordered/prescribed a nice green juice extract with LOTS of beets .... beets are great for pain relief ... the juice worked great (as expected)... but these Jamaican pot-holed, rough roads/paths/lanes/etc are killing me ---- more-so than previous years.

stay tuned --- i'll figure this *issue* out SOON
i'm confident it has to do with the flat-foot walk thing-y

gonna start walking in flip-flop sandals TOO.

.

6....WHERE is the fish..??..
STILL no fish for sale at the local snack/food shops
:-(
it's always chicken, pork, goat, ox ---- but no fish

i don't get it.

7...The Post-Christmas/Holiday vibe
the smiles pon faces is back
:-)
children have sekkled in to the reality that holiday is DONE..!!..
peer-rants are delighted that they're at-school and not under-foot.

8...The LOVE shown toward children
I'm *study-ing* this phenomenon closely:::: to my eye-balls, it *seems* that Jamaican-people treat, communicate with, teach, instruct, etc, the children (both their-own and others) a lot *different*-ly than what I've observed in-foreign.

*different* in a GOOD way ...... *different* with different results (versus foreign-results)

i'll try to elaborate on this in future postings.
am observing, and trying to find the words to explain fully/properly/adequately

9....WHY am i not hungry..??..
:-(
dunno why
dunno how
but this Jamaican food has a kind of stick-to-ive-ness to it.
i'm not as hungry as i normally am in-foreign

makes NO sense

i wanna gobble-up everyting i see, but i ain't hungry

10..I'm smoking less
:-(
dunno why
but lately,
instead of 1-pack per day,
i'm rapidly moving toward no-pack per day

now,
am down-to 1/2 to 2/3 pack per day

WHAT's wrong with me...????? !!! ??? !!!??
i love to smoke
been smoking long time

i don't wanna quit..!!!..

could it be too-much fresh Jamaican air..??..

* sigh *

mi DONE with today's report
