Hi Richard

Have you ever seen the movie, the Wicker Man (1973)?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wicker_Man_%281973_film%29

Is life on St Thomas a little like that?

I can imagine the rains coming late, the cisterns drying up, and a fat tourist or mainland letter carrier getting an all expenses paid trip to Lord Zeus.

Actually, Wicker Man is more of a comedy (don't watch the 2006 remake).

An obnoxiously fanatic protestant fundamentalist scottish police man goes to an island off mainland Britain to investigate a murder.

The island turns out to be inhabited by one of Britain's few pagan communities that managed to evade the long fingers of Christianity.

You gotta see it.

You'd make a good eccentric high priest of the island, just as in the movie!

A "good" eccentric high priest, is it ? ...  :klickywink:

Hmmm ... Guess I'll have to see the "comedy" ...  :hmm:

All the best,
