    Come on guys, O neg is universal donor blood and very common. Get down there and donate - please.

    There was a stop on the Potrerillos road a couple of days ago - just up from the Terpel station at Dolega. Six or seven ATTT guys checking licences, plates and insurance. Several cars on tow trucks. Friendly enough, but these guys are not messing around, so be prepared.

    Wilson, if you are getting no streams available, on the first entry list to exodus (or whichever you are using), scroll down to tools, then to clear providers, clear cache and possibly clear search history, clear them all then back out. Works for me, sometimes you need to do it a couple of times

    Keith, are they pushing through from the Palmira side as well?

    Yeah, we watched him for a while. Hope he was just guarding and not stuck, although there was another dog just above him.

    This is on the Potrerillos Arriba side...

    Doesn't look like a whole lot of progress since the last photos, but there are lots of trucks and heavy equipment working away. Couldn't go too far down the road, the voice of reason, A.K.A. my wife Jocie said no.....

    Here on the Potrerillos side at 2400 feet we have snakes, about 10 in the last three years, fer de lance, corals and boas. Ants by the million, likely because I have a 3/4 acre bush just behind the house. Cane toads, one in my pond right now. Many scorpions but no problem, my cats dispose of them quickly. Few mosquitos but some “noseeums” , little biting buggers. On the good side, lots of mot mots, raptors and other assorted birds. I think they all, good and bad, live in my little jungle. Wouldn’t change it for anything!

    This is nothing more than a ploy to support domestic car salesmen. As Bonnie says, a minimal emission standards check on vehicles here would drastically cut down on the smokers we see on the roads every day.

    Boy, you folks have a huge Embassy down there in the City. Guess they are too busy with important stuff to deal with everyday citizen matters!
  11. JohnF13
    Yup. Stall long enough and everything goes away....

    Of course, the main flaw in the argument alway is, and always has been, what is termed the "last mile". That is the actual connection to your house, and if that goes down, it doesn't matter how many transmission lines there are.
  13. JohnF13
    Bonnie, think of it like water lines. As a generic example, your main line is a 2" one, from which your 1/2" line runs off. Normally all is OK, but if a large number of people run their 1/2" lines off the 2" lines, eventually the pressure will drop because there is too much demand. By putting in another 2" line two things happen - it increases capacity so more people can run their lines off it and, more importantly, if the first line goes down, the second one can carry much of the demand. Hence, theoretically, there should be fewer outages.

    Judy, the climate ALWAYS changes. Changing the moniker from “global warming” to “ climate change” is merely the warmists attemt to cover up years of totally wrong modeling and egregiously false computer predictions. Does anyone still believe the hockey stick?

    Hil, it's not gun control if the bad guys are getting all the guns they want and Joe Public is denied the same opportunity. As a meme on another board said, we banned drugs, so now no- one takes them anymore......How's that workin'? But here is the real rub - for $1600 I can buy a mini CNC lathe ( thank you America!) that will produce anything, in metal, from handguns to long rifles. You can't stop this stuff. Gone are the days of 3d printed single shot weapons. Heck, backyard (insert Country here) metalworkers are producing AK 47's by the thousands. It is a totally lost cause, the same as the war on drugs.

    In regards to item 5, banning of guns, they are of course coming in over the borders. Meanwhile, law abiding citizens are being denied guns due to an alleged investigation into theft of weapons from the repository where they are kept and which, I understand, is under police control. Some folks I know have been waiting 2 years to receive their permits for weapons that have been bought and paid for long ago. As usual, bad guys have no problem getting guns, law abiding citizens, not so much.

    At least you guys are seeing progress. Around here, the alcalde busies himself having photos taken with the various local queens, we have new bus shelters and coming soon, a sign welcoming folks to Potrerillos Abajo. Fun stuff.
  18. JohnF13
    I think, Judy, as the import of old school buses is now banned that something bigger than a Coaster was needed for the Boquete/David run. However, your streets comment is spot on!
  19. JohnF13
    Pantah, it is beginning to sound like you want police presence outside your house 24/7 and the hell with anyone else. I sincerely hope that is not the case. My neighbour (in Potrerillos) was almost killed in a home invasion. As responsible citizens, we as a local community have now taken precautions, including a neighbourhood watch.

    Wondered why ours in Potrerillos had disappeared.....

    Not following. However, when I spoke to Marion just before she left. She had been called in for another interview, one she reported as being somewhat agressive towards her. Of course, now that she has left the Country, and it is two years after the fact I doubt very much if anyone will be called to account. I do know the minors involved were released from jail because they were minors. They were back in this area (and one in Boquete) within weeks of the attempted murder.
  22. JohnF13
    And yet, the three who stabbed and shot Marion Clamp are not in jail and will likely never go to trial. Double standards anyone?
  23. JohnF13
    Two questions. What size is the pony and can the cataracts be treated?
  24. JohnF13
    And yet, we have $7.00 bottles of rum here. I would suspect that the intolerance of some substances has a lot to do with the futile US "war on drugs" and the co-opting of this Country's government agencies into a doomed venture. Que sera......

    Can't believe there are many left that think weed is a bad thing. Sounds very personal to me. Usual advice, keep it to yourself. Even friends talk.
