  1. We refuse to eat at a restaurant who won't allow julibado discount. Why? These places are not following the law and we want no association with them. Also, we never ask for this discount at the smaller eateries who are plentiful around town. P.S. I agree with Two Sailors: Avoid a $35 brunch with no julibado discount allowed.
  2. Hey JohnF13 and Keith: reckon my self-reliance is below par, so I'd like to come visit you every time my electrical power is out. OK? Anyone else want to "come on down" and visit with Keith and John?
  3. I wonder if the police ever monitor these yellow cars checking tire tread, working brakes, etc. and does the taxi driver have a valid driver's license. Seems to me many taxi drivers have a death wish based on how they drive IMO.
  4. Thanks Keith for this posting. These "fake news" publications should be put out of business IMO. Just anything to increase getting attention and/or increase their readership seems to be the motivation.
  5. Jim and Nena if you read posts on CL, why don't you become members? Ciao. Pat.
  6. So where on my radio dial are "the local radio" broadcasts? Spanish or in English? Spanish not a problem, but what time are the announcements?
  7. Seems there was a Big bicycle team gathering in Boquete today (Saturday). Difficult driving and streets closed off. Did anyone see/hear about this scheduled meeting? Did the police notify us about the crowds and street closures? Oh, I wish for information to avoid this type of traffic problems.
  8. So .... can I get my aluminum foil hat at the Tuesday Market?
  9. I have tried to purchase lettuce at three different stores (both David and Boquete) without success. Sometimes nothing available. One store had lettuce that had been on the shelf a long time, turning brown. Ugh. Ideas?
  10. Because drivers can't read the signs ("Buses Only"), interested only in their needs, or don't understand the danger in not following the posted directions, or maybe just poor judgment? Perhaps all of the above are in play by this driving behavior. Very dangerous for sure.
  11. What is the schedule for Boquete Jazz? Anyone know?
  12. I can't understand what is so enjoyable about the firecracker noise during the holidays in Panama and most Latin American countries. Yuck. We were having dinner at a downtown Boquete restaurant on New Year's Eve. The bang noise was so bad (in the center of town yet) that the owners closed all windows and doors to their restaurant. I think some customers left early because of the disturbance. I've also noticed the people who discharge the firecrackers (many of them adults) don't clean away the debris left behind from their firecracker activities. Does Boquete have a noise ordinance?
  13. I believe your intent is good (your niche); i.e. that you are trying to be helpful. Guess double or triple posting of the same information won't do harm except to waste reader's time assuming everyone searches all news outlets.
