Ponder

Gossiping often carries an element of malicious criticism and judgment of others, and so it also strengthens the ego through the implied but imagined moral superiority that is there whenever you apply a negative judgment to anyone.

~Eckhart Tolle

Here's why you should not GOSSIP:
In Ancient Greece, Socrates had a great reputation of wisdom. One day, someone came to find the great philosopher and said to him:
- Do you know what I just heard about your friend?
- A moment, replied Socrates. Before you tell me, I would like to test you the three sieves.
- The three sieves?
- Yes, continued Socrates. Before telling anything about the others, it's good to take the time to filter what you mean. I call it the test of the three sieves. The first sieve is the TRUTH. Have you checked if what you're going to tell me is true?
- No, I just heard it.
- Very good! So, you don't know if it's true. We continue with the second sieve, that of KINDNESS. What you want to tell me about my friend, is it good?
- Oh, no! On the contrary.
- So, questioned Socrates, you want to tell me bad things about him and you're not even sure they're true? Maybe you can still pass the test of the third sieve, that of UTILITY. Is it useful that I know what you're going to tell me about this friend?
- No, really.
- So, concluded Socrates, what you were going to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor useful. Why, then, did you want to tell me this?
"Gossip is a bad thing. In the beginning it may seem enjoyable and fun, but in the end, it fills our hearts with bitterness and poisons us, too!"

The June 1933 Trinidad Hurricane

On June 27 1933 Trinidad was the scene of much destruction due to the infamous ‘Hurricane of 1933’. This was a time before they started naming hurricanes in the manner we are accustomed to today. Reports indicate that the storm formed on June 24 1933 before destroying south Trinidad on the 27th.

Other storm/hurricanes that passed over or near Trinidad: Alma (1974), Fran(1990), Bret (1993), Isidore(2002), and Bret(2017). And Tobago: Flora(1963), Arthur (1990), Joyce(2000).

The handful of storms that have affected Trinidad formed unusually far south in the Atlantic and managed to track directly west. This rare combination is the reason Trinidad is said to lie south of the hurricane belt.

Remember these years and dates. Late June can bring Tropical Cyclone activity to the Southern Windward islands.

It may be rare, but it is possible. Always be prepared.
