THE AVALANCHE OF CURSING IN OUR COUNTRY

AN EVENING AT POOP DECK ALMOST SPOILED The evening with the Mitchell siblings was to be a nice quiet reunion. Fred and Lilla’s Children together again, who knows for what time. There are countless gatherings of this type going through the country on a typical weekend. Families are trying to hold it together.

Trying to remember what your parents taught you, the values that were supposed to let you get through any time or place. All went well. The Poop Deck

One of the more interesting political actions last week was that of Toby Smith revealing to the press that the Attorney General Carl Bethel had sent him a text alleging that Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines who have entered a deal with the Government to take land at Paradise Island west on lease was being unreasonable. Toby Smith, a Bahamian businessman, says that he has a lease over the same land and there is an action in court to stop the government from take his land and giving it to Royal Caribbean.
