Thanks Aquavit. Great comments.
The shuttered shops I was referring to would be
the old two-story building across the street from Burger King where Digicell used to be located. (There used to be a sexy lingerie shop upstairs too which is where Smith744 used to do his Valentine's Day shopping.)
Was reading a social media post expressing condolences for a bartender at Bourbon Beach named Dave. Believe he was the one who got stabbed last summer. No worries now though, like I said, top-notch security checking everyone.
Mya the housekeeper was cleaning my room when she walk off to get fresh linens. While she was gone I snuck back into my room and put a $5 US under the new roll of toilet paper I saw sitting on my bed. After she return I hollered out from the sidewalk to make sure she put on a new roll of toilet paper. So she grabs the roll of TP and holds it up so I could see she was already on top of it. Then she puts it down without noticing the money. Rats. I have to try again so I ask "what brand is that? Is it a good brand?" At this point she picks it up to show me again and is holding it up above her head when she does a classic double-take noticing the money out of the corner of her eye and starts laughing. That was fun!
Did something pretty stoopid I must share. Okay, so I needed cash, and wanting to get airline miles etc I grabbed my Jennifer Garner credit card and headed to the ATM downtown. Only when I got there I realized that although I'd used my card extensively to make purchases for years, I'd never actually used it at an ATM before and I had no idea what my PIN was. So I had to leave empty-handed and go back to my hotel to get my other bank card, a debit card I was more familiar with, in order to make a withdrawal. Didn't think that one through.
Another tourist is sitting by Rohan watching him paint. I comment it's a good thing he's there because Rohan's color-blind and someone has to sit next to him and tell him what color he's using all the time, and since he was there, I was free to go swimming.
Captain Evers aka Ever-ready still wears a Superman shirt everyday on the beach as he solicits passengers for his Wild Wild West See Bottom boat. I comment he must have a dresser drawer full of Superman shirts at home which elicits a smile. Oldest son now first mate.
Concert sign says the M.C. (sic-emcee) is Allan Ranks. Sign-painter short-hand or short-coming?
Drank a Magnum. Sweet like cough syrup.
Charlie is the vendor to see for a coconut chalice. He's on the beach between Roots Bamboo and Woodstock. One day service to build one. Tell him Firemon sent you.
A bottle of Bourbon Beach jerk sauce now runs $15 US/$1900 Ja. An annual necessity for my kitchen. No refrigeration required. Chef Squatty's secret formula. "Squatty is still in the house," say nearby vendor Ann aka Goose's sister.
Norman the pattyman walks by. I chase after him to give him $100J which was slightly more than what I owed him from yesterday's purchase when I was a likkle short.
Not having as much fun playing dominoes as I'm accustomed given the absence of my long-time opponent, a Jamaican woman with a better game than mine--but not by much. "Lock up the shop and win," she'd say as she slammed down a bone. Many near-even battles over the years. In her absence I play a multitude of inferior gamers who cause me to lose interest. Next time I seek out better players.
Tried to buy a CD from Crystal Axe but they were in the trunk of a different car than the one she took to the Boat Bar that day.
When I got back to Roots Bamboo painter Rohan and I argued over which of us was more in love with Crystal. I asked him if he noticed how she moved her hips when she sang and he shake his head like he about to faint. After a few more compliments/observations we call it a draw.
Groundskeeper/Handyman Speedy is all cleaned up and wearing a colorful sequined shirt for the Capleton show. "The ladies are going to notice you tonight," I say. "I know," he replied.
A few hours later I was drinking champagne off a young woman's behind. She said she was a tourist from Geneva. She lied.
