Last night, about 10:00 PM, I heard some crackling noise followed by a loud boom. I looked out the window and saw nothing at first. Then there was another boom and a lot of sparks, almost like some was setting off fireworks in a tree that is about 30 yards from my bedroom window.
I got [...]

On my walk this morning, I took the following photo of a house that is replacing its roof. The original roof probably only had a peak about 18 inched higher than the edge of the house. This makes for a very hot house. I would imagine that is the reason for this change. When this [...]

When the David International Fair is running, then the city is very busy. Hotels in David and neighboring cities will be full. There will be a higher visibility of police. And the traffic will be noticibly greater. My neighborhood traffic seems to be higher also.

Yesterday had another cough filled morning. It amazes me that even in nice neighborhoods, the residents still think it is fine to burn trash. Labor is cheap and the trash pickup people will remove all bagged trash, so there is no excuse to burn it. This is one of those things that could be [...]

This nicely trimmed bush is across the street from me. It is at least 12 feet tall and 14 feet wide at the top. Ever wonder how they get the top trimmed?

I swear that is what the fella on the other side of the mirror said to me this morning. What?! You have been hearing the same thing from the person on the other side of your mirror? Well, maybe we better take another walk today. I think my excuse is the extra pieces of cake [...]

Ok, get ready for another walk. Put on something comfortable because this is going to be a little longer than the other day. It is reasonably cool out since I had my alarm set for 6:30. I have been a little pokey, so it it about 6:45 now, but if you are ready, lets go.
I [...]

I am continuing my morning walks. The other day I took my camera, but when I went to take the first photo, the batteries said they were empty. Today, I was prepared.
Put on your sweats, lace up your Nikes, put on your cap and lets go.
This will be just a short walk this morning. Since [...]

This is one thing I HATE about Panama. I am currently recovering from a cold and I start smelling smoke. People in Panama have no concern for their neighbors when it comes to burning trash. If you don’t shut your windows quickly, then you will have a house fill of smoke.
I can understand some [...]
