I got out today and the gasoline price was lower than I thought I heard on the television. 91 Octane is $3.13, which is six cents less after the price reduction. I thought I had heard one cent. I must have been having a senior moment.

There is more progress on the outside and I have seen air-conditioner ducting on the inside, but as you can see, it won’t open any time soon.
In case you still think that TGI Fridays in David is just a rumor, the sign was on the fence today.

Maybe it is worth pointing out that once you enter Panama, and probably any other Latin American country for that matter, you become the target for the “The Sob Story Scam Artist”.
I have read many times that these people can be found in Panama City or the airport in places where they think they can [...]

In writing about the current immigration debate, USATODAY says that the “SENATE SENDS MIXED SIGNALS ON ENGLISH”. When the Senate voted yesterday on calling English the National language, they didn’t.

My spam level on this blog has tripled in the last two days. I would think this unusual, if I hadn’t learned of the death of Blue Security at the hands of major spammers in Russia from Epiac’s Website.

The television said that gasoline prices would become a little lower today. I wasn’t paying enough attention, but I think it said that 91 octane would reduce 1 cent per gallon, 95 octane 5 cents per gallon and diesel 4 cents per gallon.
I guess something is better than nothing.

The Great Wall of China stretches for 4,160 miles across North China.
The US has voted to build 370 miles of triple-layered fence along its border with Mexico. Obviously that isn’t going to cover much land.
Now maybe the US could just use some of the illegal aliens to build one like China built. Who knows, [...]

Based on all the negative reviews at Cannes of the movie, The Da Vinci Code, I think I can wait for the DVD. I asked Hal, at the BookMark in Dolega, if he had copies of the book and he said he wasn’t willing to pay the price being asked in the US to bring [...]

According to the Panama Institute of Geosciences, the number of tremors is decreasing in Boquete.
My translation of the Institutes’ post for today:
Between 4:58, in the afternoon of May 14, and 5:00 in the morning on May 16 there have been 13 registered tremors in the area of Boquete of which two were felt. One was [...]

I stopped at the BOOKMARK on my return from Boquete. As you can see from the photo, the BOOKMARK has added a new room on the left. Hal said he needed more space so he could display the books better. The room has just been completed and is not quite ready to contain books. He [...]
