Enjoying The Weekend In Port Antonio
One of my supporters is taking a break in Port Antonio. She says that the roads are terrible in the town. They are not laying pipes in the town.
She stayed at Blue Hole in Port Antonio and she captured these two pictures shown below:

Crowded Cross Roads Tax Office
Persons have complained that the tax office in Cross Road in Kingston, is too small and therefore it is difficult to maintain the minimal distance for the Covid-19 protocol. On the other hand they are pleased with the space at the Constant Spring Tax office and tax payers report that the service there is very good.

Carey Robinson Has Died
Carey Robinson OD |
Carey Robinson who has been doing the popular TV show 'Hill an' Gully Ride on TVJ, has passed on. I first met Carey Robinson when he asked me to read Sir Alexander Bustamante's Quotes at the unveiling of the National Hero's monument at Hero's Park in Kingston.
Carey Robinson was a journalist, author and an historian. A graduate of Howard University, Carey has worked at the Jamaica Gleaner, JIS and the JBC. He was at one time the General Manager at the JBC.
Covid-19 Still A Dance - Wear Yu Masks
Many persons have been complaining about the high fines for not wearing masks. Some persons have been calling on the government to reduce the fine. Some persons might like that, since they could refuse to wear the mask and only pay a very small fine for not doing so.
Some persons feel that if you are wearing a mask and they are not wearing one, then you are OK. Think about it, if you are in an office and some persons are not wearing masks, then persons not wearing the mask could be spreading the virus over the whole office. All you need to do is to touch a contaminated surface and inadvertently put your hands in your mouth, nostrils or even contaminate your masks!

Love the video of the nurse singing but really and truly if you have things to deal with you can't Tan a yuh yard still.The cross roads Tax office is the worse, and since covid the condition there worsened, I went there recently and I was in a line outside waiting to go upstairs from 11 am until 2:30 pm before I went inside, and before I went in is only one person went in out of that line, and you have to go inside and wait in another line, out there sick stomach, when they move go next door it made no sense, the need a bigger better place with proper waiting area and parking.and the husslers on the front if you don't have money to pay them to shub in your papers dog Nyam yuh suppa,and a next thing system always down, the manual days were way better and faster.constant spring Tax office is number one.is a pity I can't go any tax office for certain transaction.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Carey Robinson's death. I remember him as an announcer at JBC. Cobdolence to his family
ReplyDeleteForget to mention in my comments above his hill and gully shows. I used to enjoy them
ReplyDeleteRegarding the wearing of masks, some people are just ignorant to the protocols because it's either they don't listen to the media, they illiterate,partly illiterate or they don't think critically. Since Covid started a lot of people have their own version of the protocols. I was speaking to a lady the other day in my neighborhood and when I asked her if she took the vaccines she she said she didn't because she has underlying illness and she heard that people with underlying illness should not take it because it will KILL them. I was shocked when she said that so I had to explain to her the truth about the whole matter. I told her that the people with underlying illnesses should take it because they are more vulnerable.I went on to tell her that if she is in doubt or afraid to take it she should seek the advise if her doctor
ReplyDeleteWill miss Robinson's voice. Rest well sir
ReplyDeleteThe increase in motor vehicle in our country has rendered this office ueeless, or maybe what should be done is allow only for taxes only and remove motor vehicle documents processing to another location.
