What happens to the client in this case? Do they have the property/not have the property, are they out of money?

War of the Worlds

You mean Perry Christies magic map? I remember when he told us he had the solution for crime, *he'd just come police headquarters and they had a map that showed where all the hotspots were*. The problem with that approach is it ignores the crime bosses. The US catches them from Ninety to Sam to Nygard. As long as the kingpins and white collar criminals remain untouched crime will never go away.

I meant to say its "*common*" to the way we do things. We only cate about optics and making announcements that "*we're digitized!*"

"*Pretino P. Albury com- pared the situation to “when you squeeze some- thing, and something on the other side pops open. As soon as you lock it down, something else opens*"

Yup. This is normal for a system that hasn't gone through testing yet. The problem is they dont test

"*the new tax portal is suffering “growing pains” and experiencing “infrastructure issues at peak times*"

These are not growing pains, this bad planning and it's very common. I personally got sucked into one govt rollout, had no idea what I was "*really*" fixing until the next week when all hell broke loose, and I thought to myself, *oh that's what that was! did they test this even one time?* Based on what I was asked to correct I knew they hadnt.

Most of these software failures are due to forced release dates with no understanding of the work involved and how long it actually takes to develop and test. The vendor agrees because its money, the govt goes along because WOW, we could click a button, and look at these "*young*" people coding!

Remember during the pandemic when Minnis gave that ill advised notice that COVID was in east NP? I feel the same way about this. Theres no wall between Eastern and Western NP.

"*The Bahamas is not presently in danger of suffering a US travel advisory over the recent murder spike, a senior hotelier asserted yesterday, adding that it was not yet "a major concern for tourism.*" Robert Sands

My response:
"*Im waiting for the announcement anytime now. Theyve circulated advisories for far less activity*"

Does anyone know anything about the 200 sq acres of mangroves destroyed in Adelaide?

Have you seen children crossing the street at 3PM? It's like an animal herd crossing sometimes. And they take pride in that, all with bright smiles and or I own this road attitudes.

Telling drivers to slow down is one sided. I remember personally being a long line of traffic on BlueHill and Soldier Road going about 5 miles per hour because it was bumper to bumper. This school boy about 13, just randomly darted across the road, if he had walked I would have had more time to react, but he ran. I had to slam on brakes to avoid hitting him and I was barely moving. Then there were the boys who decided to wait till I was 8 feet from them to dart across the Marathon Road dual lane. You find yourself frequently doing this, slamming brakes to avoid irresponsible pedestrians, children and adults. Once again a solution that doesnt fully identify the problem. My solution is to avoid 3PM traffic as much as humanly possible. I think some of these children look at this as a game, literally, let's see how many cars I could beat.

The message needs to be drilled into students that the last thing a driver wants to do is hit anybody. But drivers dont see everything, even if they're aware. They may not be able to stop, even if they try. Accidents dont always end in death or recovery, you could be brain damaged or paralyzed and you can never win a fight with a 1000 pounds of steel. Be smart.

Added to that could "*helpful*" drivers for Gods sake discontinue the practice of stopping and encouraging children to cross at random locations or when the light is green? You're putting everyone in danger
