This is great. Thanks, Keith. Hey, Bud, can you put these on the CL calendar for next year?

On my “to do” list. Probably within two weeks.

It would be nice to know who said this; I'm sure the Newslady didn't. But in any case, their intention was good, i.e., to get more people to recycle.

Part of the reason for missed information may be that three separate topics had been created here on CL about the same subject. In order to consolidate all of the history about the relocation of Boquete's recycling center we have merged those three topics into one. [This is the first time that we have merged content into a topic here in the News.Boquete email archive forum. It just seems like the most appropriate thing to do.]

We agree with Bonnie's last sentence, and hope that this single topic might help further the goal of getting more people to recycle.

They are all listed on the CL calendar. Holidays are shown in green color.

Her name is Doris.

When this topic was started last May, I had no idea that it would end up with this much traffic, or so many viewings (currently over 2,500). Wow!!!

Alison, you now have very well known eyebrow pencils! Congratulations. Maybe you could put them on display and charge admission.

Numerous additional earthquakes are occurring in Mexico. Just this morning we were informed that a "fairly major amount of damage from a 6.2 earthquake on the west coast (and shallow depth)" has occurred. In researching the Internet, we see that there have been many.

This is probably a regular and naturally occurring sequence of quakes, but given the recent major earthquake and resulting death/damage, we thought we would just post a follow up.

Here is one link to such reports: https://www.google.ca/search?client=firefox-b&dcr=0&q=earthquakes+in+mexico&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiWouyNh7zWAhUO52MKHWKZBDcQvwUIIygA&biw=1680&bih=872

The lady who ran the old recycling center next to the Boquete Brewing place has returned. She will be opened for business next Monday, Sep 25 8am to 5pm at the cabina next to the old Amigos (now a church). Somebody posted a foto of this a while back. It is the same place, the cementario is just behind it.

She told me, no plastic, no tires, no colored glass (only clear). 

She only speaks Spanish.

Here is the link that you refer to:

If this new location actually comes to fruition, then these topics will be merged.

I have to clarify that the woman is not a foreign national.    She is panamanian born in a foreign country.  Her cedula starts with PE that is Panamanian born in Extranjero or foreign country. 

Thanks, Roger. I'll modify the title of this topic for a bit more precision.

Just a bit curious how you have access to her cédula?

This is the "second segment" of Elba's podcast. The original recording session resulted in about two hours of raw audio, from which these now two segments have been extracted.

To listen to this second segment of Elba's podcast, click below on the white, right-pointing triangle (arrow) on top of an orange circular background. If you see two options below, we recommend using the "Listen in browser" option as opposed to the "Play on SoundCloud" option.

This second segment of Elba's podcast is 27m 58s duration, and covers the period from 1915 to more contemporary times.

Again, note that the content in this second segment of Elba's podcast consists of her recollections; there may be historical inaccuracies. But regardless, it is still interesting information. 

Ah-ha. Keith has the answer. It was a Facebook posting that had a picture.

I am talking about looking at the original email as received, processed, distributed, and then archived by News.Boquete. There was no picture associated with that email.

Sorry to have to inform you of this, but there was no picture associated with the email that was distributed via News.Boquete. I went back to the original source email archives that are stored by News.Boquete, and there was no picture as part of that email and thus none associated with the positing done here on CL.

Perhaps you are recalling a posting done on August 30^th about a dog and that did include a picture. That was a brown dog and does appear to be an adult.

Be advised that we have received numerous complaints about this posting. The complaints are because no picture was provided, meaning no one knows what the missing puppy looks like. Not even a verbal description.

We have tried to find that missing picture, including searching all the way back to the original email that was received; the originator simply provided no more information, and no picture.

Please do not complain any more. There is nothing that we can do about this unfortunate situation.
