-His Excellency’s master-class – 2018-2020 As I indicated in my nostalgia piece two Fridays ago, I grew up in the city ward of Alberttown.

-Will we ever, ever enjoy `civilized’ electricity? So who are “PPP People” – mentioned in today’s lead caption?

Elections: What’s to lose? Or gain?   -The Politics of Perks and Privilege   Though still a slight touch of poitics hereunder, I invite you-all to share some snap-shots of personalized nostalgia.

– Exploiting `compromise’ strategically `Officer’ Lowenfield: The man in command I know I would have quoted His Excellency’s Under-rated “Quip” – “Because I en leafing fuh juss now” – many columns ago.

-Concerning our National Insurance Scheme Fresh off their latest “General Council”, the First Vice-President’s encounter in Berbice, the First Lady at Brooklyn’s Carnival as Grand Marshall and a non-noisy (?)

Good-Life’ oil-money vouchers? Hello friends. Hi “electorate”- those of you eligible to and will probably vote.

That B.A.M.N. PNC Victory! Sophia, Capoey, Greenheart and Papcaan! De-emphasising politics and other national headaches today, I return, however briefly, to that modern day social phenomenon that both intrigues and irritates me.

-Our vital institutions – A layman’s lament I was thinking of alerting my Editor that every Friday I would just record repetitively, my personally-held refrain: That the PNC – masquerading as “APNU” – will triumph at the next elections whenever His Excellency so proclaims them.

-Image versus reality… Greetings friends. I won’t completely avoid traffic fatalities, court decisions, murder, robbery, rape and local politics today.

Despite excellent delaying strategies by His Excellency’s People’s National Congress (PNC) dominance, circumstances – dictated from without – have now propelled all interested into top-flight elections mode.

Maintaining relevance: Reasonings and groundings (Reasonably certain that today’s offering will finally be among the most brief.)

I agree: Land for working-class Afros Hello friends, hello critics. My simple ageing mind wishes to simplify the advice implicit in my lead caption – non tribalist, observation, analysis, decision, hopefully a national objective decision regarding which political group you prefer in government beyond 2019.

-I’ve been telling you! Staying B.A.M.N The seven decades-long political behemoths to stalk this once-pristine Guyana land – as political parties – have begun, in earnest, their election strategies to retain or reclaim governmental dominion over us.

“This land is my land” I return briefly to the issue of choices before and whenever His Excellency “proclaims” the elections date.

-Romanticising the ghetto? Or empowering it? Hoping that the thoughts explored or expressed in the paragraphs immediately hereunder do not attract the displeasure of the more politically-minded.

-T.N.D.: pre-empting, preventing “internal” upheavals Decided to be a bit overtly political today.

Greetings friends. I had just decided to be escapist and light-hearted today when I recalled that last Friday I promised to touch on the now-sensitive issue of land management including allocations (transports, leases).

-The Chief Commander: Chronicle page 3 Hello. As a teacher in my by-gone twenties I had concluded, a little hastily, that our laws and system of justice, especially “criminal” justice, were tilted and lopsided in favour of the criminals.

I bore – or upset – many friends and readers whenever I repeat herein my limitations and feelings of being “out-of-my-depth” with respect to certain national issues.

-Front-page murders – all the pages If you were an adult (18-25 years) when Guyana gained its constitutional and governmental “independence” from Britain in May of 1966, you would be now in your seventies.
