Last night we had one heck of a big rain. Complete with some of the biggest thunder bumpers I have ever heard. It looked like the fourth of July outside.
Every time it would thunder, all of the car’s alarms would go off because of the ground shaking. I had just downloaded a program and was [...]

Maybe you remember the old Kingston Trio song, “They call the wind Maria”. It has some lyrics in it that goes as follows:
Maria blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a’flyin’
Maria makes the mountains sound
Like folks were up there dying
Well, that is what it sounds like outside. You can definitely tell that the season has [...]

I have to admit that after the rain last night, that the whole world outside seems happy. The birds are chirping and the dogs are acting frisky. Everything smells clean. I can tell it is going to be a wonderful day.

We have had a bunch of rain today. This may be as a result of the hurricane that just moved into Mexico.

This was a bulletin from the National [...]

Based on the rain that is starting to appear in the afternoons, I would have to say that the rainy season is beginning. In David, it was down right cold last night. I usually sleep with a fan running and last night I had to shut it off.
Along with the rainy season, I change my [...]

If you have looked at the Wild Orchid weather site recently, you noticed it wasn’t working. I received an email tonight that it was back online. Click on the above figure to bring up the weather site. The URL is also in the Chiriquí Chatter Link area.

Something must be wrong with the rain gods. They seem to have forgotten that this is the dry season. If they are waiting for a virgin sacrifice in Panama, it may rain for some time. It rained in Panama City yesterday and it has rained most of today.
It is definitely giving me incentive to finish [...]

This afternoon was the daytime meeting of the Gringos in David. I was able to get out, so I headed that way at 2:00 PM. As I got there the tables were being set up outside and the attendees were arriving. Today’s meeting was at Parrillada Restaurante ANTOJITOS. It is across the street from the [...]
