Embrace the Suck; Panama is Preparing to Be a Covid-19 Vaccine Distribution Center; Covid-19 Free Taboga; Draft Law 354 on employment protection; Wise Words

Thursday, July 30, 2020 This sucks. There’s no doubt about it. The worst part of this suckiness is that it’s the type of suck that we can’t readily control. Today I had a talk with a friend who’s in a position where he has to abandon ship; time to close up shop and head back to the ‘States. […]

Got Woke?; Medicines to combat Covid-19; Laboratories authorized to perform Covid-19 tests; Shopping centers ask for reopening; Fishing!

Wednesday, July 29, 2020 Woke: One who is alert to injustice in society, especially to racism. I don’t care for this term, mostly because I’m a self-proclaimed grammar-nazi and it drives me nuts to hear “woke” being used incorrectly in a sentence. It thoroughly underwhelms me. “Woke” is the past tense of “wake”. Call me old school. Call […]

I’m so Confused; Fourth country in America that performs the most tests; Safe conduit abnormalities; New strategy against Covid-19 in Chiriquí; Goofy’s Gift

Tuesday, July 28, 2020 We live in confusing times.  I love to reminisce on how 2019 sucked, yet not quite as much as it does now.  Every day is challenging in that I never know what we’re really supposed to be doing.  Should I stay home?  Should I go out?  Do I have COVID or is this sensation just […]

Full weekend; License for universal use of vaccine; Covid-19 aftermath; Panama’s growth in the future; Coloring Books and Poetry

Monday, July 27, 2020 What a full weekend. Advanced more with the Home Automation system, made an elegant wooden curtain rod to hang our new Blackout curtains, fixed the remote controlled cars for the boys, cleaned and organized all of the tools, added some ambiance lighting to the living room (also controlled by Alexa) and […]

Smiley’s and other Amazing things; Reactivation of activities in Azuero; Covax Mechanism; Plasmaton; What do PIs and Margaritas have in common?

Friday, July 24, 2020 There sure is a lot of stuff going on in Panama relating to business and decisions that owners are going to have to make right quick! As stated in Resolution 672 that came out today, Friday, July 24, 2020, “Cocle, Herrera and Los Santos have behaved well enough that they’re being […]

How Fast is It?; Protests; Minors have been diagnosed with syndrome associated with covid-19; Watchful Neighbors; The Morning Show

Thursday, July 23, 2020 Have you ever wondered what you did with your cell phone, only to realize it was right there in your left hand… and you were using it to send a lame message to your favorite gossip companion? Or, like Queen Sayira who places her glasses on her head and then can’t […]

Splish, Splash, Splosh; Hydroxychloroquine is used again to treat patients with covid-19; Restaurants closed; Discounts on municipal taxes in the Capital; Another Bad Joke

Wednesday, July 22, 2020 My house is anything but new.  The advantage is how I was able to purchase it at a very reasonable price.  The disadvantage is having to constantly do maintenance on it; both preventive and reactive (but mostly reactive). One common issue we have is with the plumbing.  It seems that every […]

Too Much Misterinformation; This Just In; Increase in cases collapses health system; Dentists may increase cost of treatments; Biosecurity measures training by Mitradel; My Adopted Family

From left to right: Me 50 yrs, Yislen 9 yrs, Alexander 5 yrs, Alberto Jr 7 yrs, Jonathan 11 yrs and Alberto Sr 31 yrs

Tuesday, July 21, 2020 Other than wishing for this to all be over with, a close second would be waking up and having a fresh start at this whole thing. There’s so much information, misinformation and misterinformation out there, that it’s hard to keep it all straight. Everyone’s point of view is perfect to them, […]

First 4 Months; Covid-19 Vaccine Results; Panama selected for vaccine research; Disinfection booth suspension; Buy Alberto’s Jewelry PERIOD!

Monday, July 20, 2020 Precisely 4 months ago, on March 20, I started writing about whatever came to mind.  I didn’t start pushing it upon the eyes of weary strangers until a week later, but something began to bubble and boil back on that date.  It’s fascinating what I’ve learned.   English – yep, I’m […]

Can We or Can’t We?; Heinous Crime; Exposure Logging; National day of reflection; Doctors protest; School buses may provide various services; Bad Dad Joke

Friday, July 17, 2020 with a rollover to Saturday, July 18, 2020 Reflecting on the recent changes in Panama’s government and their politics, as well as the ongoing crazy political battles that continue to battle on as they enter into the final lap of an election year, I wonder if they realize what this will […]
