Jamaica – 15 Sept 2005 – It’s Fly Season

It is now officially Fly Season up here on the hill. This does not refer to airplanes but to those small insects that rate up there as one of the most annoying things on this planet. There are a number of coffee plantations in the area and at about this time they all fertilize their plants. This means many more flies. Actually, the place was relatively fly free before, so it is not unbearable now. I was led to believe it would be much worse than it is.

As you may be aware, the site is now getting regular updates, which means we now have landline access to the internet. I will have daily updates to the site until I catch up to present time.


Yesterday was an unusual day in Kingston. Twelve people were murdered in a space of 24 hours. Normally it is only 1-2 people killed each day. If any North American city had the same murder rate as in Jamaica, it would be a public scandal.
