Friday, August 12, 2022 This week has been full of ups and downs for me.  Monday, was a good day, filled with a generous heap of accomplishments.  Yesterday, however, I was continuously on the verge of ripping someone’s head off; anyone.  Today, I’m back to worshipping flowers, voicing words of encouragement and fomenting happy thoughts.  […]

China; Increase Number of Passport Applications; Collection Reaches $7.1 Million; Expired Vehicle Plates, there is a New Date to Renew them; On August 15, Moratorium for the Payment of Taxes begins in the Mayor’s Office of Panama; National Assembly Increases Its Budget for 2023; Onde El Gringo Restaurant Review.

Friday, August 05, 2022 I’m hesitant to send this out as my intro as I don’t want to offend any of my Panama-born Chinese friends,  clients or anyone else for that matter.  I have no intent of offending any of the Chinese at all, but something has to be done about that darn government.  There’s […]

Citizens March towards the Presidency; New Fuel Prices Announced, Gallon Remains at B/.3.25 per Agreement; Pan-American Highway, Closing: What Alternate Routes to Take?; ENA: Temporary Closures Will Continue As Long As Protests or Acts of Vandalism are Recorded.

Friday, July 29, 2022. To my own detriment, I’ll often talk of how weird my mind works.  It amazes me, but causes laughter and amusement (sometimes pity) to the hearts of many others.  This morning I woke to the brilliance of our sun, bursting through the window of our bathroom.  Slightly annoyed, I stretched and […]

It’s A Whirlwind; Subsidized Fuel: How Many Times Can It Be Used?; Teachers Could Return to School Next Monday; Producers Warn 10,000 Jobs Will Be Lost in Highlands due to Closures; Infiltrators.

Friday, July 22, 2022 It’s A Whirlwind;  What a whirlwind this week, eh?  The protests have been picking up speed since Monday, then riots Wednesday morning in and then Wednesday night we get this literal whirlwind storm that ripped through Panama City.  The amount of rain that came with it was a thing of legends! […]

My prediction; Protests and Street Closures Begin to Generate Shortages of Gasoline and Food; Migratory Explosion Intensifies in the Province of Darien; Sinaproc Maintains Wave Prevention Warning over the Pacific until July 16; Facebook’s Historic Posts.

Friday, July 15, 2022 The intersecting specificity of useless knowledge required to understand Panama’s predicament during the more recent protests is in itself nearly incomprehensible. It’s imperative you understand the diversity of the political stance amongst the multiple parties, how the labor unions operate here in comparison to the rest of the world, how blatant […]

Where will the Use of a Mask be mandatory?; Increase in the Price of the Basic Basket; Parents Urged to Allow Regular Vaccination of Their Children in Schools.

Friday, July 08, 2022 There are more than enough exciting topics to talk about this week, but nothing trumps the topic on the atmosphere of Panama’s government.  It’s a mess and it’s only going to get worse.  The president is ill with a type of blood cancer and receiving treatment and the government is presently […]

Change; Attt: Do you propose New Modifications to the Traffic Regulations?;  New Fuel Prices;  Panama will Eliminate the Mandatory Use of a Mask in Closed Spaces; Sinaproc Issues Surveillance Notice for a Potential Tropical Storm.

Friday, July 01, 2022 Hardly anyone likes change, but ironically, the only constant about life is change itself.  It should be welcomed and embraced if it leads to progress or happiness. Nearly 20 years ago, my girlfriend and I were enjoying the soothing and hypnotic sounds of the beaches of Costa Rica.  So calm, so […]

Friday, June 24, 2022 As we walked through O´Hare International Airport, for our return to Panama, I took note as to how my son Brandon would gaze eagerly upon the inexhaustible number of candy stores and other sweet shops.  Our trip to Wisconsin had ended, but apparently his appetite for chocolates, pies and other sugar-packed […]

Mides: what are the Social Programs that they Offer?; Meta company will Provide Training in Digital Skills; Issue Watch Notice for Encroaching Tropical Wave no.6;  Restaurant Review: Le Bistrot!

Friday, June 10, 2022 After much thought, I really can’t recall where I read this, but the world is simply on “Fear Overload”, and I’m personally just done with it.  I’m also tired of feeling like I need to be the resident expert on which female super star pooped in who’s bed and why.  I’m […]
