Thank goodness I turned him down.

It's a rough world out there,

Yes, that's my impression also. We were in La Badie, Hati on a cruise
ship stop several years ago and it seemed pretty peaceful until I
realized the whole place was a bit of a potemkin village surrounded by
barbed wire and armed guards. The scenery off the coast is beautiful
however and it is fascinating to watch the native fishermen sail off
in their small hand built sloops with no power and makeshift sails.
