Robbed outside the police compound; almost robbed again

Kaieteur News: "“Wuh don’t happen in a million years is happen in a minute.” I grew up hearing my mom repeat that saying endless times. It is a favourite chant of the older folks. But it is true. I will boldly take the chauvinistic leap and say there is no one in this country who knows the Georgetown seawall as I do. I grew up in that place.
My dad was the groundsman at Saint Stanislaus cricket ground next to the seawall. Countless times I skipped school and appeared on the ground. While my dad worked, I roamed the seawall from Kingston to Kitty. My mom was terribly upset but I was more interested in the ocean than school. In many ways, I think that choice shaped my philosophical conceptions."
