The height of hurricane season falls in August and September. Via satellite imagery, Vince has been watching these amazing storms starting inland in Africa and building up momentum as they cross the Atlantic. Right now, we are feel the residual effects of tropical depression Ana -- mostly wind, dark clouds, and some light rain at the moment.
The iguanas are never bothered by the weather -- they always have some safe place in which to tuck away. As you can see, Stubby lost part of his tail somehow.
Yes, rotisserie chicken is now here. The grand opening was last week, and I never thought I would see a line of people waiting to pick up a cooked chicken (or, uncooked, for that matter.) The Jamaican employees at the Nex are struggling with placing the roasted birds in those crazy plastic containers -- I think that was the main reason there were people waiting. The containers are then wrapped with about 20 feet of plastic wrap. When I bought one a couple of days ago (I wasn't going to wait for one!), I also noticed that the chicken was upside down -- I guess they haven't figured out which part of the chicken gets presented.
Here is one place we don't frequent but thought I would post a photo -- the furniture store. It's not particularly inviting on the outside, and there really is not much on the inside. But it's the only source for new beds, couches, and dining tables. Since most of our furniture was provided, we have supplemented our needs through garage sales.
There is a large presence of military folks here working for JTF (Joint Task Force), so we see all branches of our armed forces coming together for the detainee mission. The troops live in trailers seen in this photo -- living quarters are small, cramped, and shared with nothing fancy about them. However, it's better than living in a tent.
