No Secrets on Islands

"...It's more than a crap shoot..."

No Secrets on Islands

There are no secrets on islands
so watch what you do and with whom
you do it . The population, even when
culturally diverse
and intellectually motivated,
is not necessarily going to give you the
benefit of the doubt when someone slips
on your property and cracks her head
like an egg on a rock. It's more than a
crap shoot, much like other events of life,
and most assuredly someone will ask who was the
last person who saw her
alive, what was she wearing, and were
there any drugs or alcohol involved.
