WOW! El Rey opened at 6:00 AM this morning and it is really setting a tough act to follow for all of the other supermarkets in David. In fact, there is nothing that really compares with what I saw this morning. Of course it is new. And with its newness it brings bright colors, wide [...]

One of the fun things about blogging is getting to know people from all over the world. You never know how some folks find your site. It might be some strange search on Google. For whatever reason, they seem to drift in from everywhere.

How appropriate that the anniversary of the computer is on Valentine’s day. The first practical computer (ENIAC) was unveiled on this date in 1946. On this day in 1946, I was probably chasing my dog, Jody, around the yard on a small farm in Oklahoma. Shoot, we didn’t even have TV then. I am not [...]

I just saw that the Queen Mary 2 will be ported in Panama two times in the next 30+ days. It is such a magnificent ship that if you are in the Panama City area and specifically Fuerte Armador on the following two days, you should try to see it.

One thing I learned that I liked when I moved to Panama was Lite SPAM. Yum. I remember my mom and dad ate it when I was a kid. I tried it after I moved to Panama. I like it fried, I like it straight out of the can. It is good in a salad. [...]

I feel like I got a lot accomplished last week. I have a new PC up and running under SuSE Linux 10.0. I can’t say that I have all features running, but considering the initial problem with the BIOS, I am happy with where I am.

I see that the Winter Olympics has begun in Torino Italy. You will not be surprised to learn that there is not a single participant from Panama entered. There is an entry from Costa Rica.
Somehow when it is 90 degrees outside I just don’t think about the Winter Olympics. Now that I know that it [...]
