Dear Vernon, there's water running on the ground since days, coming from the corner Pawsey Road and Trafford Place in New Kingston.
———————
A man, his wife and his wife's lesbian friend are in an argument.
You admired that walk, that shape, that beautiful body, and that beautiful personality, and then you made that move to ensnare the one you love with your charm. In a few months, she is your girlfriend, and you are on top of the clouds.
You might then decide to live with her. You might get married to her. It is a fairy-tale story, the philosophy of which is to live happily ever after. Careful how you fall for the fairy tale! They say if you fall in love, you will get hurt.
After a year or two, both of you start to feel comfortable with one another. She has her big catch, and you have the love of your life.
There might be some early telltale signs. For example, she has a girlfriend who visits the house often, and this girlfriend becomes your friend. The friend is a great supporter and is always willing to do things for your wife.
You could have the situation where your wife is always visiting a friend on your avenue or somewhere else. That does not bother you because she is visiting a woman and not a man. You might even notice her admiring other women when you both attend functions. At these functions, your wife loves to engage in small talk with other women. She might say to another woman, "I love your outfit." She might even end up talking to this woman for the whole night if the other lady does not mind.
You will notice that if your wife is ill, that friend who visits the home often takes up the position of nurse and is even willing to give your wife a bath.
You, as a man, are still very naive. You do not suspect anything.
You probably only become concerned when you notice that your wife tends to consult more with her friend, and very little importance is placed on your opinions.
You only realize how serious things are when you come home one day and you find your wife and her friend in a very intimate position. If you are not strong, then this could result in a violent reaction between all parties.
You had married a lesbian. You were just a convenience. You were just someone who provided financial stability. You were just a shield behind which your wife could hide her real sexuality.
This is where the real problem begins. There is the divorce, the sharing of property, and if you have children, this can complicate things.
When one marries a partner who is into same-sex relationships, then a partner has been deceived. There should be a remedy, and one should be able to sue for damages.
This article is based on real people and real relationships. In the case of one couple, the husband now has a male spouse. The other couple has divorced, and his wife is now in a relationship with her friend. This relationship has fallen apart because the female friend was very controlling. The third couple is now going through a divorce. It seems to me that the lawyer handling the case is in love with the husband.
These days, one has to be careful when choosing a spouse. Wise parents can pick up on things easily, so sometimes it is best to consult with your parents. It can be extremely devastating to discover that your spouse is a lesbian. We tend to believe that only men are into same-sex relationships, but women do also. If you do not have good support, this experience can result in serious psychological problems, which will impact your work and your life.
Remember to have your prostate checked out by the doctor, or you might see your maker earlier than he had planned.

The JLP is celebrating its third term in government, and the PNP its third term in opposition. Today is the anniversary of one party winning its third term and the opposition party losing national elections for the third time.
Our attention should not be just on which party wins or loses, but on what the country is gaining. Jamaica's main challenge is indisciplined behaviour among its people and the general lack of order in society.
We see the problem in our homes, our schools, our roads, and society. The proliferation of squatting and illegally constructed buildings, with garbage being strewn everywhere and anywhere. These are matters that have to be targeted.
Leaders of the various institutions, such as schools and other government entities, have a role to play. Many of these leaders are the living dead. Many church leaders are also weak and ineffective. That reminds me of the position of one church group on the Coopers Pen removal of squatters.
We cannot have prosperity where indiscipline and disorder reign. Some of us need to take a stand now! If we deal decisively with the indiscipline and disorder, there will be fewer murders and deaths on our roads, and productivity will improve.
I would love to know what you think. Add your comments at the bottom of the blog.

The following message was sent by a NWC consumer.
broken pipe in State Gardens. Hugh Miller Avenue, by the park. water running for 7 days nonstop. Urgent action needed.

It is not just crime that has spiralled out of control over the years in Jamaica, but also the development of unplanned communities across the island.
With GPS, every house can be located and identified across the island. Using the ElandJamaica system, we should be able to identify the owners of these buildings and confirm if these buildings have been approved by the parish councils. It seems that the parish councils are helpless in dealing with the challenge.
We should also be able to identify all squatter settlements in the country. There is also a Squatter Management Unit in government. I wonder what they do.
In these communities that are just developing on their own, I understand that people build what and how they want. Areas are transformed into garages, and the benefit of these places is that many people do not pay for electricity. Other JPSCo customers pay their bills, and they do have a grand time using the electricity twenty-four-seven.
It was reported that there are many wires that are connected to JPSCo high-tension wires that are running on the ground. This is in Lime Tree, in Southern Trelawny. If nothing is done about this matter soon, then expect a death or deaths soon from electrocution in Lime Tree.
I tried to get the GPS location of the place, and I got this: 18° 14' 30.33" N 77° 29' 44.89" W. The pictures below show some of the vehicles on the property.
Note also that about 200 yards south, heading towards Christiana, there is a trailer which was left at the side of the road with a part protruding onto the road.
The picture of the trailer is shown below.
We are transforming Jamaica into one big dump. Soon we shall say goodbye to tourism. Tourists no longer visit those areas, as far as I know.
*********************
It will be another hot day tomorrow, but we might get rain in the afternoon.

Why are people allowed to dump their garbage at this bus stop on Molynes Rd. This is the bus stop for Tarrant High School children.
**************************
Water is supplied to the Community of Vineyard in Bushy Park, St. Catherine by Dynamic Environmental Limited. There has been a leak between 137 and 138 Passion Drive for about 2 months now. Apart from the reports that were made before a report was made to the office on Tuesday September 1 by calling 876 906 4172. I called again on Wednesday September 2, said phone number 876 906 4172 only to find out that the report was not logged so I provided the information again. This time I asked for and provided with the name at the other end and the whatsapp number.
Editor's Note
I assume that the water restrictions in effect now should apply to private water providers. They should ensure that leaks are dealt with expeditiously.
**************************
Killings In Nain
Bark Di Trute just got information that two boys killed a taxi driver in Nain in St. Elizabeth. Police were early on the scene, and the two killers lost their lives.
