Regarding rain, this Axios article at www.axios.com/... focuses on hurricanes in the Caribbean. We do not get hit by hurricanes, but they pass close enough to add rain to our reservoirs that support the Canal. They are a curse to many of our neighbors and we wish them no harm, but it will make a big difference here.
This Google English translation refers to an increase in passages through the
Canal scheduled for June 1 based on the expected increase in reservoir levels - www-prensa-com...
This Google English translation at www-prensa-com... refers to the Panama Canal Authority's $8.5 billion ($8,500 million in the Spanish system) for strengthening the Canal and what it offers clients by 2030, as well as providing additional drinking water for the public.
We have a lot of work ahead and we know it. If needed, Panama will likely draw skilled workers from other Latin American nations on an "as needed" basis. They don't find citizenship any easier than anyone else (which is NOT easy). They know they can be "last hired, first fired" but it is worth it to them. This article raises a problem, but it can and will be addressed. This issue underlines the need for serious improvements not just in education, but in the aspirations of youth.

Harry Iglesias, who helped keep me alive over the last few weeks, and I were delighted to be treated to a traditional Panamanian breakfast at El Trapiche. Our hosts, Isabela and Mustapha, were down from their homes in Canada. They will make excellent future neighbors for us all in Panama City. I was just out of the hospital and this was a wonderful way to start the recovery process!
