Sometimes Work Can Be Fun

In my line of work, lets call it marketing (seeing that I cant really say what my company does on my blog...i know its weird)I tend to come across a wide range of interesting stuff. So while working on some "slow day" stuff I stumble across a little fellow I dubbed Wiener Dog......not very original but it works.



The poor little pup, its a rough life being a wiener.

Does It Really Make Sense??

Well we've been having a lot of rain this week--thank you tropical wave and cold front (is it just me or doesn't this term just screams something sexual?). So whilst I enjoyed the rain (it sunny now), others are thanking God they made it through it. Earlier in the week it was broadcasted that this year's Digicel Rising Stars winner Camille Davis and other persons were rescued from the Bog Walk Gorge after being trapped there by the sudden rise of the Rio Cobre River (mind you they had only just reopened this section of roadway last month after it was badly damaged by the last hurricane we had).

I thought it would have been best to just close the gorge and save ourselves some well needed money. It is not the first time this same roadway has been damaged and after the job that Bougue(not sure if the spelling is right)did I think it might hold up a lot better than in recent years. However, there will always be the issue of the Rio Cobre flooding its banks during heavy rainfall. Yes, people should be mindful that the roadway is practically right on the bank of said river and should stay clear anytime there is going to be heavy rains but we all know how people are...they are going to take that route any ways. So there will always be a number of lives in danger.

I mean come on people! This government needs to wake up, so what if its the shortest route to the Ochie side of things...are you saying that you'd prefer to have to drag dead bodies out of the river than improve an alternative route for the safety of this country's people? I'm sure the Gorge can be put to good use. I faintly remember our transport or energy minister saying that it would be a good idea to transform the Gorge into a water catchment area...hey why not the river is right beside it anyways.

But as can be expected they behave like non-thinking adults and do the same thing that they always do that area...fix it up only to watch it return to a huge mess after a down pour. Not to sound ungrateful or anything (thank you Bougue for doing it for free) but it just doesn't make sense to me.
