I don't intend to argue that there may not be a place for both organizations, but I would note that, come February, only those persons who subscribe to Rodny Direct will have the benefit of Rodny's services. Alto al Crimen may or may not hire someone else to man a hotline, but it will not be Rodny, who has the experience and the contacts. My personal preference is to support Rodny now so that he is able to better his life and that of those close to him on whose help he relies. Alto al Crimen has done very, very little in the past two years, but I certainly will support them if again they become a viable organization.

agreed  ..as usual

Thanks. From your description, I know exactly where it is located. Will give it a try in the near future.

That building is where I had my first lunch (it was a sandwich place back then) when I was new to Boquete. That was November of 2001. Wow, does time fly when you're having fun.

Panama Roasters?

Hydroelectrics upstream, I believe.

I think the pic is  of the one below the bridge

Marcelyn,

The Revisado inspection certificate you receive is valid until the end of the due month in the following year.

For example, if the vehicle's renewal month is November, the Revisado obtained in November 2015 will be 'vigente' or valid until November 30th, 2016.

The annual fee for the Plate would be due by November 30th to the Municipality where the vehicle is registered.

Cost of Plates vary depending on the number of passengers the car is rated for and/or whether it's a truck or motorcycle. Current range is from $31 to $47.

Taller QuickFix across from Plaza Los Establos now provides the 'inspection' service, saving a trip to David.

There is no five day window anywhere in the process and third parties can do any of these steps.

These photos were posted on Twitter during the last big storm on November 6th.

The old westbound section of the bridge had to be closed for safety reasons.

This is a very wide, shallow river.

Certainly not convenient but one of the best places I've found to look for high quality sheets at good prices is Dorian's in Albrook Mall.

Baru restaurant (across the street from the post office) has good wood-fired pizza.  I have heard the Italian restaurant across from Sugar & Spice also has good pizza.  I like wood-fired thin crust, so that is the basis for my recommendations.

Interesting. I never knew the pizza @ Baru was wood-fired.

In principle I agree Dan.

In this case, the upgrade was an easy fix for problems I was having with a bogus copy of Windows 7.

What do I have to hide, anyway? The words I use or the way I spell them?

I don't keep my sexy, nude photos in the Cloud and never 'store' Credit Card info.

Is Microsoft going to 'steal' more of my personal data than Apple or Google?

thanks for the kudos

Many years ago I complained to a Tico about the condition of roads in Costa Rica.

He replied that "yes, they are bad, but they go everywhere".

Bridges are expensive.  Add that to the actual cost of the road and I would suspect you are into tens of millions.

The road exists.

Your views about pothole priorities should be directed to the local Diputada, Athenas Athanasadias.

Alternatively, you can to go down to the Alcaldia and speak to the Mayor, Emigdio Walker.

Windows 10 is working fine for me. The computer actually seems to start and run much faster.

The only couple of glitches I've had were with drivers from NVIDIA and Brother that hadn't yet been updated.

By the way, I have previously avoided these upgrades and was someone who still ran Windows 95 when Vista was being introduced.

What does Bud say?

Fear of the unknown?

A techie friend suggested I install Windows 10 on my old desktop in order to overcome some freezing problems I was having using the bootleg Spanish-based version of 7 that Juan's people had installed.

The upgrade install was easy, and I like the results.

If I'm not mistaken. the first Windows 10 update comes out today,

Noticed there were "Ya Abrimos" signs on the place this afternoon.

"We're Now Open"

Do you have a contact for Mary Ellen Watts or Annie O'Mohundro who run the children's art classes at the Library?

Auto-update on the Activity page is a big improvement

Bill Clinton was in Panama today to participate in the inauguration of the new wind farm near Penonome in the province of Coclé.

Could Bill be the first First man?

Police contact says the assailants have not yet been captured.

Boquete vs. Dolega

Sorry, I don't know the start time but details are available on 95.3 FM
