A year ago I helped Michael produce a yoga video called "The Power of 9", which was his own idea, to expand on the well-known 5 Tibetan Rites. This video was used by Michael with a number of his students and I would now like to share it with our entire community. Michael touched many people with his love of life.

Have no idea what "social profitability" means but at least this transport-fantasy has finally come to an end. Now can we dispense with the 'Baru Cable Car' delusion soon?

It's easy to get excited about another tourist attraction coming to our community, particularly when it will be paid for with 'other people's money'. And any comparison to Medellin's Metrocable is spurious as theirs was built in the '90's, as part of an overall transportation system, in a city of 2.5 million people. Now apparently, a feasibility study will be undertaken for a 'Boquete Cable Car'. Acquiring new access rights across public & private land will be a factor. Also, counting the number of cloudy days over Baru during the rainy season should be interesting. But what will kill this wishful thinking will be the low ROIC (Return on Invested Capital). Who would put forward so much money (many, many millions of dollars) in an attraction with such limited revenue potential? China? The government? You? Me? There are a host of more important needs in Boquete . . . add this new folly to Panama's high speed bullet train.
