I just looked at photos of my grandkids on the Internet dressed up for their Trick or Treat outing. The kids here do not go out door to door. I see them sell masks and costumes in the stores. I wonder where they use them.

The new Plaza EL Terronal is really making progress. There were workers working on Sunday in a pretty good rain. Today would have been a great day to take a picture since all the fences were down. Unfortunately I had forgotten to take my camera with me, so you will just have to take my [...]

I have to tell you that after playing with the new SUSE 10.0 Linux system for about 15 days, I am very impressed. The only thing that isn’t impressing me is the performance I am getting running it on my old Dell Dimension XPS D233 PC. While it has provided an environment to evaluate the [...]

Another post that I lost in the shuffle was related to my eye care provider. When I realized it was time to get new glasses, I went to every optical shop in David. I mean every one. I have worn bifocals for years and have the non-progressive kind. Everyone except one put on a hard [...]

If you have a desire to get away from the normal Panamanian food for a meal, then you have several to choose from in David. You will find the same taste you are familiar with in the states. The menus will look very much the same. The good news is that all prices are in [...]

One post that I lost, in this crazy urge to change publishing platforms, was on several of the places I shop in David. When I moved to Panama, I was not accustomed to bargaining to get the best price. In the US, when an item is marked with a price, that is what the item [...]

The one thing that I didn’t loose, with this move to WordPress, was my existing Photo Albums.
This is the location for All Albums.
You might also be interested in the album for the 2005 Boquete Flower Festival. Not many people got to see the flowers this year because of the tremendous rain that came about 5 [...]

Well, it doesn’t look like the conversion to WordPress went too smoothly. The bad news is that I lost the content from September 11, 2005 to today. I will eventually repopulate, but going forward, I expect WordPress to have been a good long-term decision.

If you want to see a version of 1/2 Price Books as it might look in Panama, you have to go to BOOKMARK in Dolega. You will find a good selection of paperbacks and also some hardbacks at prices 1/2 of retail price.
I usually keep one Clive Cussler or John Grisham book in progress and [...]

Life Is What Happens, While You Are Making Other Plans
By Don Ray Williams
October 24, 2005
When I was a baby in my mother’s belly,
I thought life was great, kinda like floating in jelly,
I always was fed, I had nary a worry,
Never thinking of leaving, I was in no hurry.
But as I got bigger, my mom would [...]
