    Several people tried again and again to help and support this project. We all know they needed [gringo] clients but without advertising/information that simply was not going to happen. This could have been a wonderful facility for Boquete IMO. Very sad ?.

    Perhaps I can mention that last month Bud and I visited the offices of our two Texas Senators while we were in Houston. Some interesting conversation. We send e-mails and make telephone calls to various government officials on topics related to support for expats. We are doing everything we can to improve support for people who chose to live outside of the US.

    Good points. My question is what can we do now to move our position forward?
  4. Marcelyn
    This is confusing. Do hope this team can straighten out their message and we can support and enjoy the Chili Challenge. In past times the fund raiser has been a fun time here in the community.

    Wonder what the employee head-count at US Embassy in PC is now compared to 2016 and when John Farrar was the Ambassador to Panama.

    Uncle Doug, I appreciate your thinking and analysis. I agree with you. Thanks.

    Uncle Doug: What do you think is the outcome from these activities by the US Embassy?
  8. Marcelyn
    And why would ANYBODY be willing to take this role? ?
  9. Marcelyn
    Good idea, Keith.
  10. Marcelyn
    What is the criteria for deportation?
  11. Marcelyn
    Perhaps not his best decision. Have to wonder what the heck outcome this guy was expecting.

    Sounds like this law would help provide reliable electricity. Hope it happens.

    Electricity outage for 4-1/2 hours today. Finally at about 9:30am the lights are back on. (Cold cereal and no coffee for breakfast. Yikes!)

    I need help in understanding the correct date for the Chili Challenge: is it August 19 or September 19? I see notices for both dates. Would like to attend this fund raiser to support the animals.
  15. Marcelyn
    A heart-warming story. Glad we have so many animal lovers in Boquete ?.

    Encountered an Anti Corruption in Government protest of some 150 members marching on the David to Boquete road at approximately 4:00pm today. Most marchers were carrying banners or signs. Leader was wearing a grotesque mask. Had a Police escort. Marchers were heading south in the lanes going south, and were in the area of Estadio Kenny Seracín.

    Interesting conversation with wife of State Department Officer during a flight into Tocumen yesterday. Her husband is on a three month (minimum) assignment at the US Embassy in Panama City and the wife was soliciting our comments re the low level of service provided by the current staff in PC. She admitted the Embassy is functioning with a skeleton crew and no permanent Ambassador. (Not sure why, but she moved to vacant seat next to us in economy section about an hour into the flight.)

    I suspect President Varela didn’t want this “fight”. Far too many organizations voiced their disagreement with an electrical power rate increase.
  19. Marcelyn
    I don’t believe in awarding bad behavior, i.e., poor service. Perhaps asking for a rate increase after providing consistent, reliable electrical power would meet approval from customers.
  20. Marcelyn
    I agree. Too bad Martinelli can’t muster a little dignity and stop the “sick card” defense. Believe he expected a different type of welcoming in Panama.
  21. Marcelyn
    Jonathan Farrar was the wonderful US Ambassador to Panama from 2012 to 2015. I sense the activities (services) at the Embassy in Panama City have deteriorated since he left.
  22. Marcelyn
    Goodness, what a homecoming experience. ?
  23. Marcelyn
    And we have a US Embassy in Panama because? I thought this organization was here to help US citizens.
  24. Marcelyn
    Oh, Oh. Looks like I need to do a better job of planning my emergencies. ONE HOUR four days a week . mid morning is when I can have a problem. Sort of indicates the importance (or lack of) the US Embassy in Panama?
  25. Marcelyn
    Sorta wonder just how many of Martinelli’s “health issues” are real and serious. ?
