As you know, it takes a long time for anything to happen here. Often, someone is off island, holding up everyone else.

I was bothered in the spring and fall up north. I'm now on St. Croix, and nothing bothers me, although I've only been here since June. I've heard that...

Sunday evening: I drove along St. Croix's Southshore Road around 6:30, and you could see the very northern edge of the storm just a couple miles out-v...

Mistake in my above post. I meant One Paper: www.web.onepaper.com.

I've only lived on St. Croix for two and a half months, and I'm having trouble understanding what the fuss is over the territorial government. I lived...

Hurricanes included, the Carribean and the South Pacific have the mildest weather on Earth. As Ronnie notes, a really bad hurricane only hits a partic...

Chad, I think even the "best" map you find will be somewhat innaccurate, especially if you need to go to an address in the boonies. Formerly rura...

Nicole, Most of these questions are answered on other parts of this website. Please spend a little time reading them, then come back with a coupl...

Nearly everyone has been very excited about and supportive of my move. The only kind of "Negative Nancy" has been my dad. He asked why I wanted to mov...

On the plus side, construction is up almost 100 percent on STX over last year. I live on the east end, and there are quite a few houses, including man...

On St. Croix, I've seen a handful of 60s cars, some muscle, others boats, and in condition from junker to pristine. Sorry, I haven't heard of shows or...

I've been thinking about this AC thing off and on all day, and it occurs to me that it's a very good idea to become as accustomed as possible to being...

My favorite place to eat is under a shady tree with a packed lunch. You should seriously try eating a packed meal at least once in the forest or on a ...

I never drink bottled water, always cistern. The bottled stuff is pricey and it's my hurricane supply. If you have a good immune system, cistern water...

I'm to the point where I dislike AC. It simply feels cold to me. I have AC in my car but haven't bothered to have it recharged. I love all the warmth ...

Yes, this is a neat website. I can see where I live and work and many of the places where I've hiked.

I think these are called geodesic (spelling?) homes, and they're built from prefabricated parts. Try a net search.

Any good, general book on herbs should do. A very good book on all-around gardening here is Gardening in the Caribbean by Iris Bannochie and Marilyn L...

OK, East Ender, I'll check this link. I used to live in Cleveland, which has some of the best hospitals in the world. I know I'm now in a place where ...

Abbi, Are you sure this was dengue fever? Was it medically diagnosed with confirmation from a second physician? Had these friends been recently t...

My impression is that it is extremely difficult to legally get a gun here. About a month ago, there was a long letter in the St. Croix Avis, our main ...

I don't know how much I use, but I always use as little as possible. There are some properties that have wells. Some are deep and some are shallo...

For me, the worst part of moving here was having to fork out so much money. If you're not wealthy, you're going to take a bit of a hit. But in the lon...

Bob, I have cell service through Cingular here and I never have trouble calling back to Ohio, if that helps. I'm curious as to what kind of ...
