Was in Panama on transits through the canal in my navy days- Panama City had some great sailor bars 30 years ago I remember one place had dirt floors, lol. They import beautiful costa rican women there. dont think thats what youre looking for. Make sure you try my 3 favorite Panamanian beers- Atlas, Balboa, and Panama

Another good one if you make it to South America is "Polar"



I also have to say it was without a doubt the hottest, steamiest place Ive ever been - how they dug that canal with the technology of the day is a testament to perseverance.

yeah it's pretty gross along the pacific coast right now. we're up in the mountains for the moment so it's a little more tolerable... headed towards Costa Rica today, we may swing over the border for a day and do some sport fishing if it's not outrageously expensive

heading east to west through the big ditch on my destroyer, we were doing a very rare fresh water wash down of the ship. I believe it is Lake Gatun on the western end of the canal that is fresh water - my 25 year old tin can had not seen fresh water in its lifetime and we opened up the seacocks and pumped freshwater all over the ship including the firefighting spigots which sprayed over the outdoor decks - all the topside deck apes were running around scrubbbing bulkheads and topside areas- gunmounts etc - over the 1 MC the Captain agreed to play " PANAMA" by Van Halen. A memory I will never forget as the song was current and popular at the time. Same trip I went aboard USS Iowa a few times ( who we were escorting and doing aac fire suport for ) to borrow some items - it was a short time prior to their gun mount exlosion which killed 47 sailors.

got to see Iowa fire broadsides several times on that cruise - was quite an experience - incredibly loud and the sort of thing the word " awesome" was originally intended to describe

this is a gneric web photo but I have some I took with my old 35 mm canon ae1 still on paper, that matched this one.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
