Carnival 50.

Image
 I was begining to look out for CARNIVAL 50, even though it was not going to be anything like what we have grown accustomed to over the years, but it would be something rather than nothing, but now the people in charge are putting certain "things" on pause because another "strain" is supposedly on the loose. I do not have any problem with cancelling anything, and changing plans and programs in the public interest, because we should expect this action from people who are trying their very best to err on the side of caution, and to keep our nation safe. However, nothing has been said yet about the possible effects of the "strain"on our CARNIVAL 50 which is running in de bubble. It is very strange that this or similar action did not apply to the International Cricket hosted in SKB just  months ago, where our safety was tried, tested and proven with a real community spread in the thousands, during the tournament period, but evasive action is already put in pla...

Quarter 4 update

The beach outside the Public Market in Basseterre Bay.  I can live with this, and only hope that the person who maintains this piece of real estate is given all the support to keep the maintenance engine running. In days of old the strategy was to start fast, look good, and when people have gotten accustomed to the idea, subtly drop the ball, and we allowed them to work that one on us. Those days are now behind us, but some peole never learn, and still try to take us back into the dark ages. How can you convince those of us who born in electric lights, that it is better to use lamp. I tell you that some of them politicians crazy, or is it that they have a plan, and working on something to try put pon us? This is the photo blog, but we will look at a little politics in the wordpress blog later. In the last 12 months it seems that photography has gotten worse for some folks, but others seem to have discovered their missing link. Photography is like food and water, which we need ...

Quarter 3 update

Liverpool Row, Basseterre, St Kitts It is a beautiful day in skb. Just had breakfast, one helping of oats with two bananas, raisins and cinnamon, sweetened by honey and sprinkled with Moringa powder food supplement. As you may know I eat my Moringa food supplement every day, except on Sunday. Friends tell me that a person has to fast at least one day in the week. And it seems to be working for me. While I am on the topic of Moringa, let me say emphatically, that I would not be walking around today without the help of Moringa, grown in SKB and created by GOD. I see many of my friends, associates, and haters,   who I believe could benefit from the LIFE giving quality of Moringa.   I must always thank my neighbour Eudora for bringing Moringa to my attention. You don't have to wait until you feel sick, take your Moringa daily, and don't leave home without it. SKN is doing great. We have been through Independence 35 and the storms have passed down south. SKN continue ...

skb day 255

Independence 32 is here ... next week. I was expecting to hear and see ground breaking changes to the 'routines' surrounding this annual celebration.  Maybe it is just me, but I really expected some spectacular things for Independence 32, that would put last year's 31 in the shade. However, I am hopeful that Independence 33 will be the best year ever, given its 12 months of planning rather than 6. Independence provides many picture taking opportunities for residents and visitors, but it seems to me that only a few persons recognize this. The average resident is not wasting any photo memory in recording these historic national events for any reason at all. I have gone pass trying to figure this out, and leave this one for the social scientists. Ten thousand persons attended the Independence Parade. Everybody had a camera of some sort, but only the official photographers and a handful of enthusiastic viewers sought to capture images of the 'once in a lifetim...

Gone in 21 days

We are now into the season for picture making. Some of us are looking forward to see the most outrageous of performances again this year, but I suppose most of us would expect to see more composed participation. The calypso says that it is either in the water or the food, but I verily believe that our local brew and beverage water products could most certainly be a party to the actions. In SK we are FREE to drink as we like. All the products are made in SKB with the best water in the world, and you can't get anything better than that. I see movements which people say are election moves. Election can be next week and there is nothing we can do about that. I am of the view that whether it is early or late, it is done in the public interest, which is always better late than never. Of course there are some things which [in my view] are outstanding and overdue, but the people who are making most and many noises are both blind and dumb, and given to dishonesty. I now consider that t...

53 more days?

A quiet week as we prepare for Carnival, Christmas, 2015 .. and elections too.  The judge feels that two week after the revelry ends is the time to give the matter attention. Well, she is in charge, and everybody have plenty time to get ready. The radio DJ said that the PM riddle date is falling on the day after the birth date, which happens to be five days earlier than the judge's date. A lot of numbers are playing. Question is, who is going to win? Everybody running things. Or more correctly, running their own thing. People have a way of forgetting that there is a Supreme One, the Master, the Creator, GOD. I need not say anything else. If you don't know or don't believe it is a matter for you. We will see how this "matter" pans out in time to come. This past week was quiet, not devoid of the usual last days events, and excitement which follow these events. Wickedness and injustice continue to run wild in the world. It is not that we did not know, but some o...
