The Hairdresser and Creepy Old Guy; Visits to Prisons are to Resume; Type O blood and Covid 19; Alert About False Finances; Cranky Veteran

Friday, October 16, 2020 During the course of an investigation, you have to be willing to go outside your comfort zone from time to time.  While working on a child recovery case over the span of nearly a year, we had come up against corruption from the courts, interference by the family and even sabotage […]

Brett’s General Ramblings; What is Covid Prologue; 72 thousand contracts reactivated; Cortizo: Sunday Quarantine Under Review; Anti-Halloweenies

Wednesday, October 14, 2020 My trusty tech-guy, John Dovey, stood in for me and helped deliver the Monday report while I was taking time to study for a test that I had Monday night.  The good news?  Although I did pass, I feel like it was by the skin of my teeth.  Let’s just say […]

Visits to protected areas will be made with reservation; Decree to open international flights; Meduca will allow graduation events.

Monday, October 12, 2020 Well, Your favorite blogger/editor/man-about-town is … out about town tonight so you will have to just wait in anticipation for the next report for more of his witty repartee! In the meantime, he asked me to pass on this message: “Stay safe, and (unless you’re looking for Brett) just stay home” […]

I’ve Lost My Talent; Alcohol Herva recall; New decree on mobility measures and reopening of economic activities; New fuel price; My ongoing Woodworking Project

Friday, October 09, 2020 When I was in high school, some 388 months ago, my ability to memorize was a thing of legends.  The downside to that is I was also a repeat procrastinator, not doing my homework or lessons until the night before, or sometimes not until the very day they were due.  And […]

No Dessert; Mobile hospital inaugurated; Telethon 20-30; Covid-19 would have infected 10% of the world’s population; What NOT to Do When Choosing your Dentist

Wednesday, October 07, 2020 Some of our best, funniest moments happen at the dinner table.  I think in our household, like in many, we always look for ways to make each other laugh, but the absolute best material comes out when mom presents us with new recipes.  “I don’t trust that.”, says a very doubtful […]

Hospital Capacity to Increase; Landmark in the vaccine trial in Panama; Covid-19 Training Center Inaugurated; The Elusive Brandy Old Fashioned

Monday, October 05, 2020 One of the pros of being one of the most powerful people in the world, is you have accesåçs to THE top medical advantages of the world.  To be clear, I’m not talking bout my wife this time.  It’s unclear when President Donald Trump was actually tested and diagnosed with COVID19 […]

Struggle; Parks and Protected Areas will reopen; Checkpoints for travelers; Contagion reproduction index; Sigmond

Friday, October 02, 2020 Famed psychologist Sigmond Freud once stated, “If it’s not one thing, it’s your mother.”.  OK, he didn’t actually say that, but I’m sure he thought it once and again, given his beliefs.  One thing that he DID say, was “One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as […]

Things are getting busy; Private schools lose students; Plan to ensure vaccine against Covid-19; Contracts reactivated; Picnic

Wednesday, September 30, 2020 As we end another month, I feel overwhelmed with the amount of news and events going on simultaneously.  As the Jewish community celebrated the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, Panama fulfilled their promise to open the next phase of economic freedom, by […]

Commerce Watch; First Covid-19 patient in Panama; Covax Coalition; Possible restriction on beaches; Mail Call

Friday, September 25, 2020 Yesterday morning, I had the pleasure to meet with Commissioner Dalis Melo, in charge of the “Comercio Vigilante” program in Panama.  The program is just like Neighborhood Watch (Vecinos Vigilantes), but for the commerce sector.  I’ve worked with Dalis before when she was in charge of Tourism Police a couple of […]

PodCasts from a Hangry Man; 20 million for the purchase of a vaccine against Covid-19; Taxi circulation hours are extended; School year 2021; Gratuitous Doggy Photos

Wednesday, September 23, 2020 I don’t know about you guys, but I’m ready to do something new.  Right now, the “in” thing is to start a pod cast.  There are several expats in Panama doing them and they seem like great ideas.  I’m not so inclined to write, so maybe I should start doing podcasts […]
