Today is Saturday morning. The temperature outside is cool at this time of the year when Panama is in transition from the Rainy Season to the Dry Season. Vegetation is still green and when the sun rays hits it at midday, the green looks even greener. I love it. As we get into the Dry Season, everything turns brown or black due to the constant wild grass fires. By then, I'm ready for the Rain Season again and so continues the Climate Cycle.

I have my headset on listening to beautiful soft music streaming from AOL radio station- "Escapade". My mood is so good today, that I'll drop a cute little joke about heavenly Golf. Can you give me one little smile..... or two? Here we go.

When he's not around and everything is quiet, beware; something bad is about to happen, like leaving a faucet wide open and flooding the house.

He's only four years old; but sometimes he speaks like an adult. A few days ago we were talking about shrimps and how yummy they were. He asked me if shrimps were fishes. I answered they are not fishes; they are crustaceans. I said it only once. The next day--very excited--, he shouted, "Papa, los camarones se llaman crustaceos" (Daddy, shrimps are called crustaceans). His father couldn't believe his ears.

One of the things we can't avoid as we get older; is gradually losing our vital functions like walking, hearing, smelling, seeing, remembering things and so forth. I'm sixty years old, and my main concern right now is remembering things. I'm always looking for my eye glasses and/or my car keys. They're always hiding from me. Anyhow....

This Friday joke is related to an elderly woman who's having problems with smelling and hearing. Have a laugh and exercise your facial muscles. Here we go:

Every news media dedicates many hours setting up a weather report. Most of the time they are incorrect. Their missteps are now classical jokes on prime time television shows. This is one of them. It clearly shows how the national weather guys gather their facts.
