It's been a while since I've seen that!
In many ways, it is 1950's retro here.
The kids wear uniforms to school. Dogs run free...no leash laws. People walk around at any time of night without fear. And everyone stops to talk to friends...this can cause a few accidents with drivers suddenly pulling over to talk to someone.
Panama is building a new 4 lane road from David to Boquete. This is about 30 miles of road, now dangerous because of all the inconsistent traffic on the road.
They have a REAL road building contractor. New equipment and everything. I actually saw a street sweeper cleaning the road after it was trashed with mud and debris while they were working.
How about that!
As I was walking downtown, I looked into a pickup truck and saw a nuclear density gage! This is the testing equipment we used in the states. I had no idea they even knew what proper road building technique is.
Will wonders never cease!
Today and yesterday we had almost no rain! A little wind out of the north...summer!
Summer happens December through March. But it also is a term that means the wind is from the north which prevents the rain from oozing up from the south which causes the rainy season.
We had "summer" the first 10 days of October which is unusual because this is the rainiest month of the year. And now we have had 2 days of summer.
I think the rainy season is almost over. I'm ready!
Here is a link that isa very funny video, especially for those of us that are sober.

I encourage you to watch it. I know, you already get too much crap from your friends.
But, I don't normally send you anything so watch it, OK?
