    Water Restored

    By Hil,

    The water to my condo was restored sometime during the night. These guys did the best they could no matter how skilled they are at their jobs or profession. And, at least a poIitcian showed up. I would never make fun of them when commenting on a water outage after all I live in "THEIR" country. Sadly these comments were posted on a thread I started about a water outage. Having said this, I will no longer allow these kind of remarks on MY blog or MY public post. These types of defamations were allowed on ning but their was not a personal setting to prevent this malpractice from Showing Up On My POST. So, the ignore button is the way to go on individuals like this for me.
    I never onced complained.
    I lived in a country for a year with out running water. So, I know what it is like. I went to Boquete to watch a football game in a public place. Not once in the public place, where I was watching the football game, were the workers or politicians slammed while disussing the water outage (community). I brought some water home from Dolega and tried to boil some of it. But, there was another huge problem----I fell asleep on the sofa while the water was boiling. Again, I can't blame anyone. The quality of my problems increase everyday here in Panama.
    Global Rules:
    All members must be treated in a respectful and adult manner. All members should respect and adhere to the promotion of harmony within the community. Do not attempt to disrupt the community in any way. Community is the KEY WORD. IDAAN workers and politicians are COMMUNITY. I know some will play on words but community is on this site or on the streets in my opinion.

    I went throught special forces training with the 7th SFG in Okinawa (Camp Hardy) in 1970. I had been searching for the Captain or XO of the unit since then. I found him on a website yesterday. 45 years later. Life is an Adventure and not filled with misery like so many I meet today on social media.
    This site is much better than the previous ones I visited.
    I especially like the warnings and point system. And the Privacy of your database is great.
    So far my opinion  is; free speech, fair behavior moving threads to proper locations, and quick banning of trolls.
    TRANSPARENCY TO A DEGREE THAT IS FAIR.
    Your work is cut out for you------But, you have the knowledge and tech skills to keep Boquete informed with this site.
    The debating with hate is somewhat over now for most of us.
    Some of the trouble makers from another site are here-------- They will soon learn to play with others or.................they'll figure it out.
    Not everything in a blog is limited to Boquete. That's the beauty of this site. I was attacked by a few on another site for insuffcient time in Panama and not living in Boquete. Well, I travel to Boquete at least three days a week and spend money there, pay taxes here and I LIVE IN CHIRIQUI.
    I'm not competing in class warfare or narcissitic behavior that I see on other sites.
    Life is good and there are people on other sites that love chaos and misery.
    Again, Thank You Bud.
    My early morning gratitude.

    Block Feature

    By Hil,

    "The only permenant thing in life is "Change".-----never happens for some people.
    I use the block feature only for the last option and give most people the benifit of doubt. Some people just take life too seriously, were born jerks or enjoy being jerks, or are unhappy with the decision they made to move to Panama and most of all,-------(The Know It All). So, thanks for the "Peace Of Mind Button."

    Baseball in Chiriquí isn't far away!
    If anyone has the website for Chiriquí baseball please post it.
    There are many things to do in Chiriquí. (some of the constant complainers should get out more)
    Unhappy in Panama...............WHY WHY WHY?
    I find being unhappy is in your shoes. They take you where ever you go.
    Oh, And Volcan was nice yesterday afternoon.

    Big Day In David

    By Hil,

    Breakfast and then hit the ground in search of another adventure in Panama. First, watch some ninos practice soccer. Then maybe some lunch in town. Tonight the American Style Football with Panamanians playing dressed out in full pads. I've watched them before. They are new to this rough sport and you can see too much  compassion lol. That is changing!!!! The do hustle though. As always some shopping for fresh vegetables.

    Old Behavior

    By Hil,

    I went to bed early last night so my allocated sleep hours ended up early this morning. Having said that, looks like some ole "other site" members have arrived with the same old bully tactics and insults and can't see the truth if it hit them in the face. They are slowly testing the waters on this site. One thing I've noticed; "this administration and moderators Do NOT do personaities." So, it will be interesting counting the warnings and banning. Hope for the best but take what comes your way.

    Plagiarism

    By Hil,

    If you steal from one author, it’s plagiarism; if you steal from many, it’s research.
    Justification never pays off.

    Wife

    By Hil,

    A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

    Soccer

    By Hil,

    We went to a soccer match last night in David and watched local players. It is located behind La Brasas restaurant on the road to the airport on your left just past the prison.(big coca cola sign there). This is one of those mini soccer fields. There is seating and parking. Also, you can watch while eating in the restaurant. We enjoyed wings and patacones con camarone while watching the game. The wings were great and so were the patacones with shrimp in the center. These youngster really play hard. The girls actually hustle more!!!! This is a league with these fields scattered around the communities. One other field is located two blocks behind Lucys Deptartment Store at the Park with good seating and grilled food and drink.

    Safety And Security Chiriqui

    By Hil,

    It appears the security meeting was well attended yesterday. Hopefully the officials can get more support for police, vehicles and investigators. Also, maybe the representative can at least start a Bill in Panama City for change in the juvenile laws.

    Martinelli Warrant

    By Hil,

    Again, I don't follow politics too much but I did follow this man. He sold out his country and the poor people with help of his accomplices. A great day for Panama. Innocent? Don't think so. As of  4am none of the major news outlets in the USA have covered this; ABC,NBC,FOX,CBS,MSNBC.
    I wonder why?

    Paris

    By Hil,

    Paris is very nice and cold this time of the year. We were caught in a major protest by union workers. The protest was unannounced. 4 out of 5 tours that we booked were cancelled. We did get a nice dinner cruise. So, we have done a lot of walking and eating. All fun days inspite of the protest.
