Persistent Rain Washout Heroes Weekend
The riva de come down
‘What a sinting inna di island, since Friday it no tawp rain’. ‘Me naa chat bout no lickle drizzle either, wah we a get feel like starm.’ ‘fi real’. ‘Most of the outdoor events crass the island, washout’.
Apparently on Friday there was a system just southwest of Montego Bay that turned into a tropical depression which caused quite a bit of flooding island wide.
Follow up:
One house in Canterbury in Montego Bay, St. James was completely destroyed while two others were damaged from a landslide caused by the heavy rains. Rivers have overflowed their banks and some major road ways are blocked throughout the island.
No, this is not a riverbed, it's the road leading to Greater Portmore!

The tropical depression has since been named Tropical Storm Wilma. Currently it’s moving away from Jamaica very slowly however we are still feeling the effects of the outer bands.
‘So much for Heroes weekend, all the planning for all those events, all for naught.’ I was really looking forward to getting out this weekend. I especially wanted to go to the seafood festival in Port Royal. Alas that was not to be. I hope it will be rescheduled.
Just so you get a feel of what I’m talking about, I got some pictures for you.
Nuff Love

The Small Sandal Shop
A married couple was on holiday in Jamaica. They were touring around the marketplace looking at the goods when they passed this small sandal shop.
From inside they heard the shopkeeper with a Jamaican accent say, "You!
Foreigners! Come in, come into my humble shop."
So the married couple walked in.
The Jamaican said to them, "I have some special sandals I think you would be interested in. They make you wild at sex."
Well, the wife was really interested in buying the sandals after what the man claimed, but her husband felt he really didn't need them, being the sex god he was.
The husband asked the man, "How could sandals make you into a sex freak?"
The Jamaican replied, "Just try them on."
Well, the husband, after some badgering from his wife, finally gave in, and tried them on. As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he got this wild look in his eyes, something his wife hadn't seen in many years!
In the blink of an eye, the husband grabbed the Jamaican, bent him
violently over a table, yanked down his pants, ripped down his own pants,and grabbed a firm hold of the Jamaican's hips.
The Jamaican then began screaming; "YOU GOT THEM ON THE WRONG FEET!!!"
