You can suck up to the worst of the local political caste or get shot at with tear gas and rubber bullets. You can grovel before Donald Trump or get your website and social media trashed.

We do it the honorable way.

I don't have a doorbell. I have this dog pack that works better. Plus these vicious attack cats. And a really mean tarantula.

Just a small and partial indicator, but like the rest of the Panamanian economy the advertising business is stagnant.

Kept today's purchases down and hope to get into December before I buy anything else. I saw no mobs at the supermarkets today.

On this day back in 1821, the "leading men" of Panama City held a cabildo abierto -- town meeting that took on political and legal powers -- to break the ties with Spain. Panama immediately threw in its lot with Simón Bolívar and his Gran Colombia.

They now officially call it the Cuerpo Benmérito de Bomberos and it is by far the most popular public institution in Panama. People here LIKE the men and women who save lives.

By and large, you had the entire nation cheering for the firefighters in THAT rumble.
November 28, 2025 at 5:09 AM
The bomberos' dalmations, and their kids, also march in the torchlight parades and it always draws an appreciative crowd.
November 28, 2025 at 5:05 AM
There is the national marching band, the Banda Republicana, which cherry picks the best from the firefighters and police bands.

The police also have some good marching bands but the bomberos have great ones. They make great efforts to recruit the best musicians from high school bands.

And then...
