Dear Okie

Sorry to hear your stuff walked away. Apparently there has been in influx of unemployed young people on the Island lately. The Chamber of Commerce and the security at various resorts are working on this, developing a radio net connecting every one. The police have been pretty good, actually apprehending people -- so different from our experiences living many years in NYC.

On the other side of the coin, we rent out our villa, and, from time to time, we have to replace things that wandered off with our guests. We're bringing down a beach towel and will have to replace a couple of coffee makers when we get there in the second half of July.

AC still seems pretty wonderful to us, especially the people.
