Well Well Well…..here in Jamaica all persons are battening down in anticipation of Hurricane Dean. We have a saying that we have to “tek bad tings mek laugh” and so I was thinking to myself last night…I wonder if Prophet Phinn had it in his prophecy that 7 days before the election, we would have a storm which would show the talents of various persons, which will automatically make him/her a hero/heroine?
It is hot as hell here this morning and I am assuming that all the moisture in the air is being sucked out resulting in this punishing heat. But what does this mean for us on the 27th? I heard something on TV recently, where they said that in the event of a natural disaster, the elections could be postponed for UP TO 30 DAYS!! What a thing that would be. I am sure this won’t happen though. Some of these would be leaders would surely have a cardiac. The 27th was bad enough!
Of late, everything is politicised. Down to the hurricane is politicised. Well let us see if it will “change course” or if it “nah change no course”. As a people, we want instant gratification. I imagine that in the spirit of politics and in the interest of the upcoming general election, we will be back to normal within 2 days.
To all Jamaicans: KEEP SAFE
To all persons overseas: PRAY FOR US
Here is something that as always amazed me during a hurricane heading to Jamaica: The local TV stations are showing cricket and basketball. The Weather Channel is predicting more and more doom with each broadcasted update. Am I missing something here? Why is it that we are not flooded with hurricane data on local TV??
