Summertime 101...H1N1?

I can never seem to incorporate consistency into my blog etiquette, but hey no one ever died from using the salad fork with dessert!

So its Summmmmmmerrrrrrtime! And nothing is like summer in Barbados...cuz it means one thing...CROP OVER!!! Limes, fetes, parties, drinks, friends, fun, more drinks lol. But on a more serious note Summer in Barbados or any other Caribbean island is about socializing and interacting with people- locals and tourists alike. But how will we cope with H1N1 and our annual festivals...some may suggest cancelling the entire festival until we have eradicated the virus...some may say just be careful and take all the necessary precautions.

However, I think that we need to take stock of our own behaviour before we start to panic about this disease. Before swine flu..there was date rape, drunken driving, fighting in crowds etc etc...and these things are still very much alive and kicking and are just as dangerous as H1N1.

So as summer progresses and we go to all the band fetes, limes and parties please remember that saying " I shouda, I coulda but I didn't" won't turn back the clock and erase any damage you may have caused directly or indirectly to another person...think before you act...during the act and after the fact and I'm sure Summer 09 will be as prosperous as all the previous ones.
