When daylight savings changed, I knew I probably was going to have some adjustment to do when watching my network programs from the states. What I hadn’t counted on was Astrovision changing from a CBS station that was in New York to one in Colorado. I really can’t complain though, I like the news I [...]

Don Winner posted the resolution of the bus fire that killed 18 people. His article is http://www.panama-guide.com/article.php/20061030183820671.

TGI Fridays is ready for Halloween tomorrow night. They are decorated to the hilt. Here is how their decorations look. Notice all the [...]

I had mentioned that the construction that was going on next to TGI Friday’s was a new Banistmo Bank location.
Today was a good day to take a photo.
This second photo is a cropped close-up from the first photo and shows how they supported the flooring for the second floor when they poured the concrete.

If you are living in Panama and you changed your clock, you need to put it back. Panama does not adjust its time for daylight savings. I remember my dad disliking daylight savings and saying it confused his chickens causing them not to know when to lay eggs and the cows knowing when to give [...]
