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 [...]

Maybe you have heard to old joke, “How do you eat an elephant?’ The answer was “One bite at a time”. That was the thought that popped into my mind when I realized that they were removing the huge mango tree from across the street. This tree is enormous and you just can’t cut it [...]

As an extra project, I have been teaching Natalie [...]

When I got home from the farmer’s market, I saw smoke coming from my neighbors yard. I walked over and found out that they have a bricked area for burning grass cutting or other things. I now know where the black soot has been coming from on some mornings. The orange behind the shrubbery is [...]

About 4:15 PM yesterday both of my PC’s UPSs started screaming, the fan died and the television went off. It was a power outage in David. As it turns out it was only in our neighborhood.
Across the street and toward El Rey from the apartment building I have taken photos of many times they were [...]

I had an appointment at ARROCHA at 1:00 PM, so I decided to walk down to Plaza El Terronal. I keep watching the construction of these new apartments that are going up. The last time I took photos was on October 10, 2006. Here are photos of the progress that has been made in the [...]

I needed to get out for some exercise. I didn’t leave the house yesterday and was about to go stir crazy. Besides, I needed to go by a store and see about having some cards made. As I was walking I realized how clear and bright the sky was today with such white billowy clouds. [...]
