Well, Jamaica now has a new prime minister, a lady Prime Minister, Portia Simpson-Miller! I, for one, welcome our new female overlord :-D No, I support her and I am willing to give her a chance…pundits say that elections are going to be called soon. If so, I hope it can be done without the violence that has been a hallmark of Jamaican elections. Then again, its pretty violent these days ANYWAY. Spanish Town has been in a state of virtual lockdown the past two nights I’ve headed home. On Wednesday evening the bus terminus was closed because two people were shot (seemingly indiscriminately) there, and when I got into town all of the taxis/buses were out on the road in front of the shopping center. Yesterday evening (Thursday), our bus didn’t even go into Spanish Town; all of the executive buses pulled off on the highway for passengers to transfer right there on the roadside rather than go into Spanish Town. I didn’t quite hear what had happened earlier that day, but I’ll check today’s paper to see what it says. Hopefully there will be no issue this evening, but I won’t hold my breath.
I’d say something about my personal life but I don’t know who’s reading, so I won’t :p
