I am saddened to learn about Jamie Skeeter's untimely death.   My condolences to his family.

[bleachedblack]

BB, I had seen the verse before and just thought that Shango was being cute with a play on words. Now if Abrahamoff owned a chopper named "Magic Transport", THAT would be interesting to say the least.

I caught the "XTC" tail number "coincidence" right off the bat.

I'm heading out for the night too, y'all. Sounds like we have suffered a big loss this day. Of course, this is infinitely more tough on his family.

We have to hope that others will take up the battle on Skeeters' behalf. I don't doubt they will.

SB - just to clarify.  Not Abramoff.  It's Russian Abramovich that owns the helicopter.

....and this boat.

Looks like a 66 year old woman has drowned....not able to read enough to know if it is anymore than a drowning though.

I am so sorry to hear of Jamie Skeeter's passing.  He was a good honest man.

God Speed Jamie.

  I am freezing up here temp is -4 with a wind chill of -14.  I have decided that I will be working out of my Flannel PJ's today, with my wool socks and tall cup of java

Ms Darth Vada - I'm glad I live here in the (comparatively) warm south. We thought our low of 25 last night was cold.  

Klaas - I wonder if we could have sticky in the lounge for expressing condolences re: Jamie Skeeters. After everyone has had a change to leave a note there, perhaps it could be forwarded to his widow. Just a thought.

01/26/2006 - Diario reports the death of Maria Petrochti, 66. She was found in the water in a rocky area, Alto Vista, north coast. Apparently the body was difficult to access and retrieve. A taxi is mentioned.

Sandy Leiva - If you pop in - see if you can get anything more from this. I hope a 66-yr-old woman has not met with foul play.

Taxista a bahe na e kapel un dia prome…. SEÑORA PERDI HAYA MORTO NA COSTA PATRAS DI KAPEL DI ALTO VISTA Reportero di DIARIO yudando cu e buskeda a topa cune........

Den e edicion di DIARIO cu a sali Diaranzon por a mira riba e prome pagina un noticia di un señora cu tabata perdi y cu famia ta buscando su paradero. For di momento cu e corant di Diaranzon a subi mercado local, tabata marduga cu un di e promenan cu a reacciona tabata e taxista Donny Daal di TX-6. El a haya DIARIO den su man y a mira e potret di Maria Petrocthi poni, y cu nan ta buscando su paradero.

El a reconoce e señora y a yama mesora splica e famia di un biahe cu el a haci pa kapel di Alto Vista, for di Shiribana. E señora Maria a yega Alto Vista, paga pa e viahe y a avisa e Taxista cu su “famianan” mes lo bin buske despues. Pues e Taxista no a haya esey nada inusual.

E informacion valioso aki a pone autoridad enfoca nan buskeda den e area ey. Pa 7’or di mainta ya caba a cuminsa un buskeda unda personal di Cruz Cora, famia y tambe helicopter a core riba e costa pa mira si por haya e persona eybanda.

Tambe na Canal 90 FM, famianan a yama mesora y mescos e taxista tambe cu a hiba e persona na Kapel a duna su version unda el a laga e señora.

Hopi hende ta bay na Kapel di Alto Vista pa haci oracion y den e caso aki ningun hende por a pensa cu e señora aki tabata tin cualkier problema.

Finalmente despues cu e buskeda a cuminsa, DIARIO tambe a mobiliza for di 7’or cu un team, kendenan ademas di ta bay pa cubri e caso ta yuda den tur forma pa localiza e persona perdi.

Despues cu helicopter a pasa bay bin riba e costa sin a mira nada, tabata e reportero di DIARIO cu a base di su camara sacando foto di e lama bruto a mira algo straño. Via su walkie-talkie el a raporta mesora kico el a mira, pero a cana bay cerca pa tira un bista mihor. Aki el a bin nota cu e dama ta benta mey-mey di e baranca, cu curpa den awa, pero ‘bon pega’ den e piedranan. Mesora el a bati alarma riba su walkie-talkie, y e ora DIARIO a notifica Polis inmediatamente di loke el a descubri.

Na mes momento, e reportero a notifica e personal di Cruz Cora cu a yega na e lugar y asina a cuminza check con pa saca e curpa di eybao, prome cu awa por bira bruto y bay cune pa laman.

Algun voluntario, como tambe agente di Visibility Team, y demas personal di Cruz Cora a bay na oriya cu paña pa tapa e curpa sunu di e señora, y asina cu forza a sake di eynan, y hibe na canto.

Mientras tanto, famianan a haya sa di e descubrimento y a yega cerca. E tabata tristeza enorme ora cu nan a identifica e señora, y nan a keda braza otro pa consolacion. Maria Petrocthi ta naci na Aruba dia 14 di Augustus 1940, pues tin 66 aña di edad, y ta biba na Shiribana 14 na Paradera. Investigacion relaciona cu e caso aki ta sigui pa Recherchenan di Noord. Na famia di e fayecida, DIARIO ta extende su mas profundo palabra di condolencia.

Good morning monkey friends....

[Cat]

Nice picture Carpe.I hope that I didn't offend anyone with my rant about anita,but I really don't care.I also don't like Russkies,either.I feel that the 2 statements by dk are very importent,"we all sex with her,it was easy....,and if I knew where she was I would have told"I think this answers some questions,and leaves others open.I can not wait for The Trial of these demons and their friends.Ruining human lives is not a sport.CAT

Goodmoring all!

This gal that was found drowned in Aruba I believe is the one that they were searching for a couple days ago.  It was reported at FOB.

MF posted 1/24/2007:

Police helicopter, the Red Cross, volunteers and others, are scouring the area behind Alto Vista. Since two days ago (48 hours) there has been an elderly woman missing. She left home and information is that she went to the chapel. Not much detail around this search right now.

Family and ALE has been searching for this person the last 2 days, and today this massive search is going on.

MF posted followup 1/24/2007:


Regrettably, the body of the elderly lady has been found by the ALE as of 50 minutes ago.

A taxi driver informed the ALE that he was asked by the lady to bring her to the church.

Also, Diario had a photo of the missing woman in their 1/24/2007 publication.

[MsVada]

so being 66 years old is elderly?  I'd consider that being a senior, but  not elderly!

Heck,  my 97 year old grandma is still living and I consider her elderly as she now is in a nursing home because she can't care for herself.
