I still do.. I agree with you. Grumpy

That's my goal. Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you again soon. Grumpy

I try.. Thank you for your comment..

I'll be sure I pass your comment on to the Magens folks. I'm sure they will appreciate your kind words of thanks. Grumpy

And thank you for your watching and kind words. Grumpy

It’s clean like it was before the tropical storm because it was not a hurricane.

WAPA just came back on at 7:PM here at the house. Been out since Tuesday evening. Broadband still out so can't upload new video on Magen's Bay Beach. Hope for tomorrow..

island part of the U.S

Yep, thankfully, mostly a bunch of water comming from everywhere. Lots of folks think it was similar to Maria, just after Irma. Irma was mostly wind and then Maria came right after with hugh rains. Now if WAPA can just get Feeder 7a up and running.. Right?

Gorgeous view of landscape n ocean!!

We drive on the left.

We do not drive on “WRONG” side of the road.

I just learned myself that the VI is the only place in the US that drives on the left, but with left-hand drive vehicles!

@@ndear2955Yea we are very special 😅😅😅and we thought everyone else was on the wrong side

Hello again and thank you for the opertunity to interact. Yep, I as you say, was a white boy of 15 when we moved here in 1965. Among a hand full of jobs over the years I worked for Antilies Air Boats as an apprentice mechanic. Daily News as Circ Mgr and started the Source online publication, which you may know, just to name a few. Funny thing.. Growing up and raising children here we really never thought of ourselves as white or non. It was always a small community. We all lived together, respected each other and got along just fine. If you live here on St Thomas, there's a pretty good chance you or your family knows me or my family members. My wife (or should I say Ex-wife) was one of the first employees at CostUless when they first opened at the original location, back in the day. My sister, now retired was the airport manager for years. My brother in-law, now retired was the chief at the airport "crash house" fire station. My other sister worked with Head Start. My mother worked as a nurse at the old Knud Hansen Hospital and then in her later years for Human Resources at the Employment office.. I'd be happy to meet you and share some stories and a pate at Jackies.. I'm always interested in learning from people who are, in- the-know of our island, just like you. Please be sure to keep watching the channel and I'll do my best to listen and learn. Hope you and your family stay safe and dry, if Ernesto visits us tomorrow. If your're out and about, perhaps you'll see me trying to get my propane tank filled at Antillies and getting some footage.. Just watch for the old white mon... Grumpy

Thanks for your feed-back. The video was based on my my opinion. Been going to Neltjeberg for over 50 years now and it still stands out to me. I go down to Magen's most mornings for a walk and swim. Great way to start the day. By the way, you may already know it's free if you go before 7am. We locals also can get a deep-discounted anytime pass. I used to go to Stumpy often. Great for a beach dive. A good spearfishing site too. The beach is a preety rocky though for my taste. Yes, we are lucky to have so many great beach options. However, at the moment I'm getting the house ready for Ernesto's arrival tomorrow. It seems to be tracking very similar to Marilyn back in-the-day. Right between STT and STX. And that was supposed to be just a Trropical Storm too. Yep, lost the house in that one. One thing about when a heavy storm does hit, folks are tripping over themselves to go out of their way to help anyone and everyone PERIOD! Just filled up my generator tanks and the car. I'm ready. Be sure to check back soon.. Grumpy

Right on the side of the road that parallels the airport runway on the south or Lindbergh Bay side. You'll pass it going to or from the airport. White Step-Van Food Truck with large white awning attached. Be sure to say hello to Anna who's usually helping folks at the counter and is pictured in the video.. Great food, Great people. Go early and get in line.

Ok yeah I’ve seen you on my way to the windward from the airport Got it , thank you!!!!!!

Yep, I remeber going down with the dogs and horses more than 50 years ago. Up until just a few years back there were always week-end "makeshift shanties" popping up, only to be blown down in the next storm.

I do understand your question and comment. The short answer to your "why", is I want folks to love our island as I do. As I mentioned in a response to an earlier comment. If I could have, I would have kept my island home the same as we found it when we first moved here in 1965. Back in the day we had a few cruise ships durring the season with mostly 500-700 passengers each. No cable TV or internet, the local station went to the test pattern around 10:pm. Magens was free. A Rum and Coke with a fresh Pate was a buck and that was a "Real Man's" drink as Rum was cheaper then Coke. No such thing as traffic (we only had a few (sometimes working) traffic lights on the entire island), and it was common to see folks still riding donkeys. It was also common for WAPA to be out for days at a time. When we ran short of water there were Public Cisterns and a line. We all knew VooDoo Beach and why you'd see a dead chicken hanging above a door. Somehow we all got along together and if you ever needed help there was never a lack of smiling faces and offers to lend a hand. We slept on the beach and went to the The Crazy Cow in town for the best hamburger after dark without any fear for our safety.. All that said, it's still my home and favorite place to be.. Hope its the same with you.. Welcome home.. Grumpy

We originaly moved to St Thomas when I was 15 back in 1965.. It's always amazing to me how much has changed, and then again how much hasn't.

@@GoGrumpy We began visiting the islands in 2016 I think. All of them are beautiful. Haven’t been to water island yet. That drive looked treacherous to me and we’ve been in the rainforest on St. Croix and driven to maho bay on St. John. Those hook turns scared the hell out of me. But we made them. I tried to get my husband to turn around but luckily he ignored me.

Thank you for your comment. Look forward to riding with ya again soon..
