Sometimes ya gotta let lying dawgs lay.

I wish his family and loved ones the peace that surpasseth all understanding, secure in the knowledge that Justice Scallia held the courage of his own convictions, and acted accordingly.

That being said, nobody has called upon me to fill those shoes, an unfortunate oversight which I hope for the good of all will be remedied soon. It sounds like a good gig. I promise to be tough but fair. Which is to say, I've got my buddies' backs, and woe be unto mine enemies. That's just the way the cookie crumbles. This here's America, by gum!

Please refer to me henceforth as "Mr. Superb".

Grinding slowly,

Very way too coolest in the history of everything ever in the universe of the galactic wow!!

Sometimes it's hard to Copa.

That's the thing about hyperbole -- sometimes it's just too hyper!

We can all rest assured that the results of the upcoming Presidential election here in the US will ensure that many American citizens will be migrating to Cuba.

Gimmee the bread. Keep the circus.

ATCHOO! Oops.

A much more practical approach to trans-provincial travel would be the construction of twin gondola lifts to the top of Baru -- one from Boquete, and one from Volcan. This will serve nicely until the teletransporter has the bugs worked out.

Properly engineered gondola cars should have plenty of room on roof racks to accomodate coffee bags, suitcases and boxes, and travelling rooster crates. Be sure to bring a jacket or sweater, and don't forget the ear plugs!

Read it in the papers, 15 years ago.

A more modern iteration:

Shoot -- go ahead, shoot.

Clearly, a proactive contract should have been in place with a little Dutch boy.

This topic is becoming a font of knowledge.

I shudder to think that I would shutter my thinking ....

It is my hope that the Consular Representatives will take the time to pay a visit with Her Majesty's subject Marion while in Chiriqui,

Thou shalt not have any Great Big Invisible White Man in the Sky above me. For I am the meanest mofer in the Valley.

It takes a village to forget how to build mud huts.

Why is their a problem with home skool?

Not enough "us".

Too much "THEM".

So, Happy New Year to all you others, you fringe-dwellers, you odd-balls, you knuckleheads, you People of the Mists, you Children of the Corn, you twinks, gomers, and goof-heads, you religious firebrands, you political lunatics, you fervent navel-gazers, you food activists, you former Canadians, you "Swirlies", you extreme surfer-types, you boozers, you butchers and bakers and candlestick makers, you shifty wanderers and you shiftless stay-at-homers, you hobbyists and obsessive-compulsives, you elitists, you lost and forsaken, you grifters and cons, you pros and amateurs, and all the rest of you poor losers who unfortunately aren't like me in every way, shape, and form.

Perhaps your New Year's resolution should be to move over here to the other side of the tracks, the proper side of the river, the front-side of the mountain, the good neighborhood, the "chosen" side of the planet, the correct corner of the galaxy, the right side of what's left .........

Time to straighten-up and start flying right. Then, maybe you can teach the world how to sing in perfect harmony.

Another friendly PSA from the guy who puts the "goo" in Guru,

Any truth to the rumor (seen elsewhere) about a Wal-Mart in Chiriqui Province?

Oh, wait ..... seems like that rumor actually referred to the evident influx and increasing proliferation of "people of Wal-Mart".

This is exactly why I refuse to shop at Wallyworld. I'm deathly afraid that someone will snap my foto and put it on that website.

(Note to self: don't forget to order a new 55 gallon drum of Plumber's Butt-Crack Putty.)

(Note to self: don't mix-up the toothpaste with the Preparation H, and don't mix-up the Preparation H with the Crazy Glue.)

I've been following the controversy surrounding the practice of the efflorescenceidating of drinking water, which has begun to show evidence of making people really boring.

I spackle get in trouble over this ....

Dear Chiriqui Lifers,

Please remember that Edna's efforts to preserve and promote Sitio Barriles represent a private passion little-supported by formal research organizations -- some of which, she has maintained, have basically stolen artifacts from the site to be put on display in Panama City museums without any compensation to Edna's family whatsoever for their own exhaustive research, development, and protection of the site over the decades.

I believe it was ten or eleven years ago -- I'm uncertain as to the exact time-frame -- Edna's Son was involved in a horrible head-on automobile collision which left him severely and permanently injured and disabled. I frankly have no idea if he survives to this day, but I do know that Edna credits mythological healing properties to the energies prevalent at Sitio Barriles and she has held profound certainty that these powers were the primary influence in her Son's survival and whatever degree of healing that occurred after his accident. I would hope to hear that Edna's Son survives to this day, and that all is well for Edna and her family.

Cynics are quick to dismiss allegations that Barriles is as source of some ill-defined "Power". There have been many anecdotes about significant historical anthropological influences from purported far-flung and "unlikely" visitors from Africa and the Orient, shamanistic practices, ritual healing, phenomena considered physically improbable, artifacts found from distant cultural sources (including ORO!!), magic, and even extra-terrestrial visitations. Individuals may argue and debate about these and other considerations until they're blue in the face, and who cares? All I know is what I personally observed and sensed and felt during the course of several visits there, and I thought it was really, really cool. I'll confess to skepticism about the assertions that "water runs uphill", but, hey! I'm just a plumber! Who knows? All I know for sure is that Sitio Barriles is quite beautiful -- and serene. Perhaps the near proximity to Rio Serena ... ?

I hope that visitors to Sitio Barriles will be aware of the enormous significance of their generous contributions to Edna and her family, which help not only with their personal welfare, but also help ensure the preservation of this crucial resource.

Cordially,

Dav

Stoves with glass tops shouldn't brown scones.

And how do you say, "thanks for your perspective"?
