UPDATE

Just a quickie update

All this week it has been quiet on the street, and today, Saturday it has been unusually quiet.  Although there is political grumble and rustle, there is no activity.  My theory is that there is NO cash flow, and there is no cash flow because school is about to open.  It is very, very expensive to educate your child here in Dominica:  school fees,  uniforms, physical education uniforms, shoes, books, supplies, extracurricular fees - and if you have 2 or 3 or children in school it is a real hardship. Yet it appears all children go to school.  The Dominican web site says that ninety-eight per cent of primary age children are enrolled.   I could not find any stats on secondary education or up to date stats on education in general in Dominica.  School is compulsory between the ages of 5 and 16.  How many actually graduate from high school?   Semi-literacy among senior citizens is high.  The Banks are offering loans of up to 3000 EC dollars for return to school funds.  Imagine!

Also, it has been  HOT,  which slows everything down, and now we are expecting a possible mini hurricane next week.
