'hail Banwari man'


We spent 'First Peoples Day' doing what I would think they would have done, spending the day with family, socializing and cooking. I am not sure what was celebrated by the 'FP'. I would think that family, food security and shelter were paramount. After thousands of years nothing much has changed other than adding a wide screen TV, a BMW and convenience food. Humans really have not changed one bit, this after thousands of years of earthly existence. We eat, we protect ourselves from the weather and we conquer, that's it, that's the real meaning of life.
Happy First Peoples Day!

Today we wake up on the rock to statements being made by a PMOTT that says, at least to me, this guy has lost it. His continued rant and absolute disregard for women has now been cemented by his most recent statements. In the country's Parliament the PMOTT compares the maintenance of a golf course to the 'grooming of women' and what happens if you stop maintaining the course. What a crass, individual, this PMOTT. The support he has in the Parliament chuckles with this statement. Big $%%^&* joke! This is it PMOTT, this is the level you have reached, this is the real you. I guess when one looks at other countries this is the trend, well maybe not in Canada and France nor Germany or Japan or India, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Jamaica, come to think of it the list is long.
The constant obscene reference to women continues to be an issue with the PMOTT and it shows who this guy really is. Trying to make excuses for him is not working. People, women of T&T do the right thing and completely reject this embarrassment to our country. He has no right, no moral authority to call himself the leader of this country.

I am sure the First People respected their women, the tribe knew the value of all members of their community.

In the same contribution to the Parliament the PMOTT is confirming the MOU with Sandals. My take on Sandals is another story. When the PMOTT refers to women, golf and pastures is it local women or the female guests at the resort? I am pretty sure that the Sandals group might not be completely in agreement with the PMOTT's remarks.

I am a product of Arima but not a product of the First Peoples. My ancestry is one of French Creole, Gaston De Gannes who built 'La Chance'. We all contributed to building this society.

Hail Banwari Man!

Good night and good luck!

'aghhhhhhhh'

This week has me feeling so down about the rock and what really is our future. I have always considered myself to be Mr. Optimistic. Things would be bad, sometimes downright terrible with little or no hope and I would be there battling it out. The hard part is our present and future position is all man made [excuse the gender] and it seems that no matter what we do, how we vote, who we put our trust in, it somehow ends up bad. In 1956, the hope was there, a mass appeal, in 1986 it returned and was destroyed by 1990, in 2010 432,026 electors voted for the Peoples Partnership, in excess of 60% of the population. By 2015 a lot of the love disappeared and we found ourselves in a position of no-where once again. I use these years because the popular vote was there, the majority voted overwhelmingly for the winning party. Even though the winner in 1956 did not win by any semblance of a majority, over 80% of the electorate cast their vote. It is interesting to note that in 1956 the PPPG...

the Isle of Spice

We ran away, again, to the Spice Island, for a couple days. Work and play. Our first day there was the day of rain. I have never witnessed steady rain, a bucket a drop, like what we experienced on Wednesday. It started just after 7.00am and continued down to 5.00pm. Of course, the drainage system was put under severe stress and there was substantial flooding in many low lying areas, in addition to landslips on the hills. The videos of a guy on a board surfing on the street was real as was the guy attempting to tie his car in order to prevent it from being washed away. What was very noticeable was the fact that people who had to report for duty did in fact report. We stay at a small hotel and the staff were all present and accounted for. Speaking with other travelers the situation was the same throughout. This morning on leaving the hotel again everyone reporting for duty. Speaking with the GM she said that she had to pick up a couple people who were marooned in their homes, but ...

A great thing happened today. I washed my car and it did not rain. OK, so other absolutely great things made history today, I am sure something was discovered that will change mankind, decisions by world leaders for world peace. None of that is of interest to me because the simple task of washing my car was what was of great import and I marvelled at the sun and dry weather. It is the little things in ones life that give the greatest joy. Tomorrow should be the same with a prediction of only 20% precipitation. Two days with a clean car is good. I am one of those who curse WASA who has leaks on the main roads with spray flying all around and dirtying up my clean car. WASA should have zero leaks, that should be WASA's goal, I don't think that they are interested in any of this as the leaks continue and the complaints from the citizens continue. I remember in the Manifesto of the ruling party a commitment was made to increase the truck delivery of truck borne water. Go figure! ...
