Totally agree that Miss 'A' has to be best model out there to work with.  She's educated, smart, thinks ahead, has evolved fast since her first few months, and can adapt to situations with her photographers.   I miss seeing her weekly updates to MM profile these days,  with her busy schedule since last spring.  She makes those bikes come alive when she models with them.

Seventy-two? I faintly remember 72. Something like five years ago for me, right?

I had to get a permit for all of the candles on the cake.

A change of scenery for us starting tomorrow morning. We jump on the Great Silver Bird and head for Panama for two weeks. The idea is to tour the country with the possibility we might relocate to Panama, maybe next year. I'll have more information when we return.

Actually one of my favourite escapes FL, and the setting for one of my favourite movies (The Tailor of Panama)  .  .  .  any country that has at least a Level 2 security rating is my kinda spot  .  .  .  were you able to visit both coasts?  I hope you guys had a great visit!

Flew into Panama City after crossing the Gulf from Miami.  We've seen the Pacific in the distance. We crossed the Panama Canal as part of a bus tour. We are staying in Boquete, exploring, and looking for a place to live. We very likely will relocate to this area. Home ain't what it used to be, if you get my drift.

Well, SOS, in the two weeks we were in-country, I saw only one person with a cigarette. Panama is a smokeless country I'm told. As for Cuban cigars, I didn't see any for sale in any of the stores or shops we were in. I'm not sure if Panama trades with Cuba. Now, rhum won't be a problem. There quite a few rums made in-country.

I did get an authentic Panama hat while we were there. Believe it or not, real Panama hats are made in Ecuador. That surprised me.

Just did a Google search and Cuban cigars are available in Panama. The cigar stores where Cubans are available look to be in the Panama City area.

FL dodged the question of "How soon..."

When I was younger (Like you Frank) I thought of heading elsewhere  based on the changes taking place in the good ol USA, but I've now become complacent, lethargic, and in most ways, comfortable here in a small town with a small stipend each month from Uncle Sam and the state of Florida, so keeping a roof over the head and food on the table is to some extent a done deal - unless of course everything comes tumbling doen.
The way I see it, things will hold together for another ten years, and by then I suspect I'll be beyond being able to geve a lot of fux about what's going on - you young folks will have to deal with the mess created by the generations following those of us in the now over 70 crowd.

Well, Charlie & SOS, looks like we'll be headed out maybe August or September. Before the Snowbirds flood back into Panama. Over 70? Seventy is so far behind me it's merely a dot on the horizon. Eighty, however, is looming like an 18-wheeler bearing down on me. Gettin' old ain't easy, is it.
