Talk, talk, talk is mostly all you get ’bout this place. I’ve been guilty of it too. “Why doesn’t somebody do something about (fill in problem here)?”

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Thank you to Ranica Worrell, Akera Walcott, Denico Trotman and Bryan Haynes!
Could we do this every three months country wide?
Think about that. Our beaches could once again be the best in the world.
Leaders, please step forward. I’ll give four mornings a year on a national clean-up.
How about you?
