This is probably the owner of the restaurant that lots of folks have stopped patronizing because they got tired of paying money to hear him bellyache about the roads.😁

Be aware of additional buses and foot traffic in Boquete today & tomorrow. (Tuesday & Wednesday.) This morning after BCP meeting noticed police and vehicle barricades at various intersections in town.

One owner indicated his restaurant would be open Wednesday, but doubted too many customers could find their way to his business because of the crowded streets.

👏👏👏👏 to you, Dottie, for your wonderful work with animals in Volcan!

This sharp curve near the recycle location was a scary spot allowing one vehicle at a time to turn the corner. Now a big improvement.👏👏

We take our recyclables to this location next to Bible Church. Have never found it closed and an employee helps carry heavier items. We place cardboard/paper items into a separate container. Glassware (including wine bottles) always accepted.

This system means we don’t “store” our recyclables, but deposit them when convenient to us.

Martinelli sons fleeing with “bags of money”. This is some mental picture!

We experienced a new procedure by Customs when leaving the U.S. recently. After check-in at the airport counter the agent inserted a nylon strap into the zipper pulls of our suitcases, which locked and prevented reopening the bags until the strap could be cut. (Not easy even using sharp scissors.)

Oh, Oh! This is not good news for people wanting to sell high priced property. I’m not sure where 80% of buyers can find a $150,000 house or apartment.

Thankful that you, Bill, & Flossy are OK. Wow, that was one bad accident!

I don’t disagree, Keith. I’m thankful for the project itself. My beef is how haphazardly it has been handled over the past few years. I don’t perceive there having been much planning from one day to the next, resulting in way too many delays, inconveniences, and potholed roads. Those of us living north of town got and are getting the worst of it because it’s impossible to avoid downtown to get anywhere. And now we have the holiday season upon us that will exacerbate the traffic problems.

No built-in penalty clause. Fourth time the same spot has been dug up near our intersection. ☹️

These bus crashes result in complete destruction of the vehicle and several people harmed. Gotta wonder about qualifications of the drivers. Speed is the problem?

Any reports of damage caused by last night’s earthquake?

Strong quake of long duration at 8:28 pm on October 21.

Looking forward to a delicious meal and a great time. ????

Friends in PC have sent an e-mail indicating their neighbors are talking about Boquete’s road and water situations. 

A friend just told us he often eats a salad at a downtown restaurant. Recently had a salad at this restaurant and has been experiencing severe stomach cramps and diarrhea for the past several hours. Be careful out there!

Maybe way past time for business owners to have that chat with the mayor!

Excellent point, Bonnie.

Perhaps this makes driving in David even more scary? Stay alert!!

Good news.

How sad. Sorry, Hill. Please stay strong.

Wondering if Varela will veto this idea of not importing meat and milk because Panama can not produce sufficient supply of these products?

Electricity off for two plus hours. Finally back on at 11 am today.?

Perfect—-no problem.

Good for you, Dottie. Keep up the great work.???
