Heat Stroke

It is as hot as hell here this morning. I sat in the car this morning waiting on wifey at the gate and I could not believe that so much water could run off one person in the space of 2 minutes. I had just backed out of the driveway and that was it. You would have thought that I had run a marathon. Maybe menopause setting in still :) I actually used the a/c all the way to office this morning and this is unusual since I am always the one opting for natural breeze. The temperatures are in stark contrast to what we had last week when we got a couple days of rain but that's gone it would appear. The heat seems to be taking its toll on the drivers too because this morning was "silly morning". If I used any of the theories of deductive reasoning, I would no doubt come to the conclusion that all drivers of Toyota Corolla station wagons are idiots, mad sick head nuh good, a$$e$ on the roads. I chalked it up to heat stroke. We drive on the left in Jamaica but many of the roads in downtown Kingston are one ways so you have two lanes moving in the same direction. This morning one gentleman in said vehicle cut across three lanes of traffic in one move, swung through the layby and made a u-turn to head back down in the opposite direction. Can you imagine three lanes of traffic mashing brakes and tyre smoke all bout. Then this lady, in said type of vehicle decides that she is going to turn right from the extreme left lane this time across 4 lanes at the craft market trafic light. Anybody with sense knows that this light is not a place to play hero cuz is not a handful of accidents happen there. I've seen what could be well amounted to at least 1 per day. She picked up a hail of badwords from several of the other drivers. Just around the corner came number 3. Same type of vehicle but slightly older model. left turn from extreme right lane at an intersection that is always busy. More cussing. (I only told them off in spirit.) Maybe I would have been more vocal if I had no one in the car but yuh gots to behave when yuh have company...good broughtupsy. Can you imagine all of this in the space of half an hour. Heat stroke I tell you!!! Today is going to be busy, if for no other reason but the fact that I will not be here tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the break even if it is for exams. Had a meeting at the Tall One's school yesterday to discuss options for those kids who don't do well in their exams, or for those who don't want to pursue sixth form or for those who are unsure of what they want to do or for anybody who wants to have options besides relying on sixth form only. My son does not want t pursue sixth form simply because the options that he wants to do are not really offered. He tends to be technically minded but the grade 12/13 programmes do not really assist them here. I went to the meeting very unwillingly but am glad I made the effort. It was an eye-opener. I benefitted from the meeting and can actually see a path that he can follow whatever he decides to do. It may not be the ideal but it is certainly better than sitting at home and idling for a year while we wait on the other alternatives. We'll se though. After all of that I finally got to office at 10:10. Dem soon tthrow mi out pon mi butt. Nahhhh, I got permission. Anyways I gone for now. Take care and have a great day.
