Along a two mile stretch of the road in Dominica, vehicles just fall off the side of the road inexplicably! This has nothing to do with the cellphone in the driver’s hand and certainly nothing to do with any cans of Kubuli often seen around the sites of these events.

Living in a country setting – to a city denizen at least – can remain a distant wish over many years of summing up the pros and cons of whichever lifestyle you feel the most comfortable with.

Recently, a jeep hit a speed bump and their back door flew open and their new machete, fell out and landed in the middle of the road. Nearby hitchhikers were hollering at the driver, as he seemed clueless, his rear door had flown open. Finally he stopped to shut the door again.
