I also love the reference to 'Dominican optimism' in Ginnie Bedggood's book and think we witnessed the epitomy of just that today. With the viscious hurricane Dean approaching fast we were treated to a neighbouring farm worker burning off his charcoal - the smoke was huge and winds were blowing this way (though we got nothing really severe here) but, not only was it not the best day of the year to start a furnace from the wind point of view but also the rains dampened it down quite abruptly too.
