Another boring day........
 

I’m waiting for something to happen. I’ll just have another rum and tonic in the meantime.

Ok, in fairness, I was sort of lying down

And I always thought you never took anything lying down. Happy Thanksgiving my Friend

Is parrot shooting acceptable there?....you did bring a Parker didn’t you?





.

Grilled/smoked parrot is excellent table fare. All you need is a slingshot and a few rocks.... Where are you Edgar?

I have shot parrots in South America. The locals down there hate them.

In Argentina, the guides and bird boys want you to shoot any parakeet you saw. They make up big nesting groups on power poles which can result in power outages. Shot one, and then decided they better learn to live with outages, because I was done shooting pretty little birds

Richard, we’re on Tortola. It’s a it of a pain to get here, but once you’re here, and manage the terrible road into the house, you completely unwind. One major shopping trip at the grocery in Roadtown, much of which is wine beer rum and tonic. I think this is our 20th year. Sadly, Irma and Maria took a toll, but the people are so cheerful.
No, Dean..Only the few criminals have guns down here.
Tomorrow we have a traditional Thanksgiving at an old Sugar Mill that knows what we Muricans like.

Nice. You're staying somewhere near Roadtown?

Richard, 20 years ago we stayed at Prospect Reef, just west of town. As all the good beaches are on the north shore, the next few years we stayed at Long Bay. For the past 14 years we have rented a private home. We’re all the way on the west end, opposite side of the mountain from Sopers Hole. We overlook Smuglers Cove. It’s a good hours drive from the airport and ever since the hurricane, getting thru town is a pain. Our two favorite spots are Smuglers and Brewers Bay. The road from Apple Bay to Belmont (the side of the mountain where we are) is possibly the worst road I’ve ever traveled. We bottom out or cross axle getting the half mile from the house to the beach. As a rule, that’s where you’ll find us until sunset.
