Who even knew Russia kept such a list? More important - who cares about Russia? And finally, why would any legitimate country share tax data with Russia? 

Guess I am full of questions today. Oh well. Buen día.

I had a similar need a while back. Got a good lead here by searching on “handyman” in the search box. JJ was the guy. Good experience.

Will a ban achieve anything?

Ridiculous.  Climate change does NOT force a surcharge.  That is entirely the fault/responsibility of the ACP.  What they are trying to do here is get the same amount of money by providing less service.  Eventually they will price themselves out of the market, resulting in much hand wringing and crying.  Look for solutions, build another lake, find out why the catch basins are not working efficiently, utilize ocean water more.  It's not like there isn't enough water around, just that it is not the type that the ACP wants to use.

I tend towards your line of thinking on this topic. It’s not politically correct to say certain things now a days, such as this.

Also, you must spend days preparing these writeups.

Only recently became aware of your postings here. Thanks. I enjoy reading and learning. Much food for thought.

Hi, does anyone have the recycling schedule for 2020? Thank you!

Good question. It seems that someone that used to honcho the recycling program must have left Boquete. Hopefully someone is backfilling.

Thanks for these postings. I am learning from them. I don’t live in Boquete and have no car so going to your church is to difficult.

I sure hope this happens in Panama. I saw a Formula 1 race in Europe years ago and the energy and enthusiasm is beyond belief. But it is noisy, really loud and noisy.

I can understand the temptation setting in for those huge amounts of money, but that still doesn't make it acceptable. Corruption is corruption and it needs to stopped. What I read on this website about the judicial system tells me that the corruption is going to continue. Sad.

Thanks for all of your replies to my question.

I don’t understand what Amzn is supposed to mean. Help please.

P.S., Grupo Aguas gets good reviews by some of my friends. I don’t live in Boquete so I am out of their area.

I’ve been told, and it seems logical, that a tank type water heater is less efficient and more expensive to operate than on-demand systems. If that is not correct, or if there are other reasons why a tank system is preferred, please educate me.

Where in Chiriqui can you get pepper spray?

Did it arrive in General Delivery or MBE ?

I don't live in Boquete. Got mine through MBE in David.

Yes, permanent resident here in Panama. Got my new card several months ago. Not sure how I can help you.

There are alternative views and clarifying data concerning these fires and related matters discussed here. Forbes is known as a business and finance news organ, and not a political rag. If anything it would be center right.

Why, in Heaven's name is ANYBODY relying on Naturgy to provide consistent service?  

Oh, John, I do. It is the only game in town.

And you know what? I get consistent service from Naturgy. It is consistently lousy. Up and down all the time. Last weekend my UPS for the computer was screaming that the incoming voltage was 132. ☹️

Seriously, it seems to me that there is no redundancy in the power distribution here. Nothing but tributaries. One link damaged and everything downstream goes down. Since there is no pruning of trees that are close to power lines, well you get what is obviously going to happen. 

Politics is alive and well all around the world. He who has the money has the power. He who has the power has the money. Oh well, back to my batido.

Seems kinda anti rule of law for something that was supposedly violating the building codes to now be acceptable. What has changed, other than a new mayor?

i don’t have an answer to your specific question, but am curious why you seek an international driver permit (IDP).  I have traveled a lot and rented vehicles in many places. Not once has my home country driver license and passport not been successful in those rental transactions. I do understand about identity purposes of an IDP. So would you say why you seek an IDP? If not, that is okay.

If in the US you get an IDP at AAA. You may want to read https://www.aaa.com/vacation/idpf.html.

Also https://m.driving-tests.org/beginner-drivers/international-driving-permit/ has some valuable information.

Not able to sleep tonight so went poking around the social media. Saw this post here about a hose repair job and got a smile 😊 because I see people helping people. Thanks for being nice.

Not being critical but I think you meant to say that the explosion rendered the building uninhabitable.

Wrong. It doesn’t show anywhere. Top, bottom, left, right, center, in between, upside down, or inside out. Are you saying I now have to go purchase a desktop computer to see something? Those TV guys are either a joke or incompetent. Get real.
