Rain Go Away

Found another wifi hotspot at a joint called Amigos right off the main square. I'd have been a regular customer from day one if they'd have had a sign. At the moment I'm outside in a light drizzle as the new anti-smoking laws are little understood and differently applied. Amigos is a bar and grill, which means it can allow smoking at the area around the bar if it wants, and, after seeing a woman puffing away I lit up and asked for an ashtray. He rolled his eyes and said 'house rules' were no smoking inside. I pointed out the woman; the waiter got the ashtray.

I figured I wouldn't be an asshole and refrained from smoking another for 25 minutes when I felt the need to ask the waiter what the normal wait for a hamburger was. He didn't take the hint so I lit up another. The burger was pretty good for Boquete.

But after going home for the computer to take advantage of the free wifi I'd probably better not continue to offend, so in the rain I am.

Good news bad news segment: The place I'm in has been turned down before by the city for commercial use for a number of reasons. But I have another place where I don't have to file for a business license or do anything but put it together and go. It has its own problems, but no more than the place I'm in now. The rain is really cramping my style at the moment so I'm packing it in. More tomorrow.
