  1. Yesterday afternoon (Friday, July 8th), we were running errands in town again. Here is another shot of the same street (slightly different angle because of the signs blocking the view). They pretty much had that section completed.
  2. Bubba says, "methinks you are correct" I see the joy in Marcelyn's face and the love from her heart. It is a done deal.
  3. But then again, here is another article that is not constrained by copyright on this same record breaking transit fee. I find it interesting that two different sources provide different amounts for the transit fee for the same shipment - close but not exactly the same. What why? http://www.newsroompanama.com/business/panama-4/new-cansl-toll-record
  4. Due to copyright restrictions, I cannot provide the full text of this article. The title pretty much says it all, but if you wish to read the full article, then click on the hotlink at the bottom of this posting. http://www.seatrade-maritime.com/industry-sectors/containers/mol-benefactor-pays-record-fee-of-$841000-to-transit-expanded-panama-canal.html
  5. One might conclude that politicians are the same around the world! Food for thought. http://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/moral-sanctions-work-shy-deputies
  6. And they eat voraciously, meaning the 24 can pack is a better financial deal for us. Thanks, Keith. Hopefully you didn't make a special trip to PS to look for the cat food!!!

  9. Here is an interesting two minute time lapse video showing the construction of the new canal: https://gcaptain.com/videp-panama-canal-expansion-construction-in-2-minute-time-lapse/ To my way of thinking, this was a captivating video.
  10. Caught me, Erin. I was typing on my Apple device, and it tries to be smart. I did not catch the spelling change. I will just leave it as is. Adds a bit of levity to my day. Thanks for calling me on this. P.S., NO!!! I did not bare anything. Had I done that, they would have been giggling or snickering, not laughing.
  11. While running errands today in Bajo Boquete, I stopped by one of the construction areas where the underground water and sewer pipes are to be installed. It is my understanding in talking with friends that the trenches will be about 2 meters deep, with the sewer pipe being the lower of the two systems, and then one meter higher up from the sewer pipe will be the potable water pipe. Here is the picture I took at the corner where the two sastrerias (tailor shops) are located, just south of the main church. We all will benefit when this work is completed, but in the meantime, grin and bare it would probably be a good motto. I was glad to see the warning tape around the work area. Serious damage could result if someone were to fall into that ~7 foot deep trench. BTW, the workers got a big kick out of watching some gringo taking their picture. Glad I made their day.
  12. Stunning photography. The colors, the composition, everything. Simply gorgeous.
  13. Methinks this electronic filing mandate applies only to businesses who are required to pay their ITBMS taxes on a periodic basis. If someone is more knowledgeable and willing to share what this is really about, I am sure all CL members would appreciate it. P.S., the news article was very poorly formatted on the source website. I took the liberty of cleaning up many formatting problems, but the basic content was not changed, only formatting was cleaned up. http://www.centralamericadata.com/en/article/main/Panama_Electronic_Invoicing_Comes_Into_Effect
  14. I tinkered around with trying to salvage the picture that includes Dennis. Not good, but here it is. From left to right: Dennis (business associate of Roger), Marcelyn, Bud, and Roger.
