No real topic
Well, I must say thanks to all who have been contributing to fatting up the comment boxes here in the last few days. I have enjoyed the interaction after coming home home tired from work etc.
Yesterday, I gave out the Integra again, the rotors have now been skimmed, she needed a new set of disc pads (I told them to go for genuine Honda parts though they are more costly, didn’t want the shitty Japanese ones….dem squeak!) and she has been serviced. Hence, the ride is now pretty damn good. So, when I go to St. Thomas Monday next, I will be happy to press (I will try not to press too hard though!)
Been doing plenty things in addition to my regular work and as a result of that I have really not been in touch with the local (and even worse, foreign) news these last few days. Now last night, after picking the car up at the mechanic, I stopped to put gas in and when I drove up the pump, the price I saw was suppem like $41+ per litre! 
Mi ra$$!! Now, onoo couldn’t tell me seh dem did have fire a bun down a Petrojam? Anyway, I don’t need to tell you that the thousand dollars basically took the tank up to 3/4 full. It haffi gwaan. Other stories in the news caught my eyes also, but I caan bodda link dem.
Apart from that, next week will be my last at work for a bit….(no, I’m not becoming a bum with medical training…..but, sometimes the thought has crossed my mind… 
)…I will be going on leave on Monday 8th November as I fly to Tobago on the 9th for a Dermi conference. I am looking forward to the break from the usual routine. I have been told it is very similar to Portland, so, being a Port Antonio/Frenchman’s Cove addict, I should be happy to have my fix. Anyway, I still have quite a bit to attend to between now and then. What a gwaan inna your corners?
Enjoy the day. 
October 28th, 2004 at 9:09 am Good morning Dr. D. Maintaining your car in Ja is an ongoing ting eh, especially wid dem tires. Port Antonio here I come. I was hoping to stay in Pt. Antonio on my vacation home this year. But didn’t make it down to yard at all. My brother who lives in Ja tells me that Goblin Hill is nice. Gosh-all this talk is making me homesick. I see jerk chicken, trying to cut back on the red meat, but if dem put arnold in front of me, me will tek a likkle piece. And a feel fa roast breadfruit dripping with butter right now! Lucky! Enjoy your trip to Tobago.
October 28th, 2004 at 11:03 am Have a great trip D. Think of us shivering souls up here in the North while you are lying on some *%@#@#@##$$ lovely beach teking in the sun sea and VX. Yu say mi sound jealous… well, is true.
October 28th, 2004 at 6:07 pm Have fun in Tobago. Careful how you pressing out the car, because you done know that you cyan hangle di ride.
October 28th, 2004 at 9:42 pm Sunshine, I suspect you meant to say ‘dem potholes’ rather than ‘dem tyres’. Yes, haffi look after the ride. One good drop into a pothole and the front end need to align again. You sound like you need to tek a trip home though. Make it soon. Ciya, I doubt very much that I could weather Canada’s winters. Me nuh envy you at all. I will remember you while I get a few moments to chill in Tobago…it really isn’t a holiday when you’re the Secretary (a non-paying post btw) of a professional association.
October 28th, 2004 at 10:21 pm That does sound like a lovely break. I hope you have a great time!
