I'd be doing the same thing I'm doing now...mostly agricultural work. Some eco-tourism guiding, and maybe some work on sailboat crews.

Frankly, it's tempting. I could hire a manager to take care of the property while I'm gone, so I'm not too worried about my business.

What OT ballers have been to Panama? I've never been, so I'd like to hear some experiences.

went through there on a tanker back in the early 60's - all I can provide - congrats on the possible employment there.

This is as close to Panama as I've been in my life:

Is that second pic Panama proper or PC?

I know I wouldn't be near a big population center. Nearest town is Portobelo.

No, senor.

Pananama, el pais.

My contact says it is fairly expensive, unless I take a trip to Colombia, although it is fairly easy to grow (and am encouraged to do so.)

Psilocybin mushrooms grow wild, and blow is cheaper than coffee or bubblegum. I can dig it.

Are you talking about growing weed?

It wasn't explicitly mentioned as part of the job. I am free to do so for personal use.

Mainly, he wants someone to do some light stewardship and eco-tours on his property. In exchange, I would get a house and 10 acres of property, with some of it Caribbean beachfront.

At 2:25am?! Well shite

I've never been, but it seems like a beautiful place. If you could make an easy transition back to civilization then I don't see why you shouldn't seriously consider the move.

You are already pretty much set financially, correct? If so this sounds like a sweet gig!!!

Yes, actually. Talked to a college roommate's brother, just to see how he was doing, and he offered me a gig. Hippies do crazy shite, you know.

I have a farm, so that is really my biggest concern. I could hire someone to run it (though probably not as well as I could), but it's not like I would lose it in the interim.

Yes sir. Don't have any obligations/liabilities to meet.

Seems like you lead quite an interesting life

My whole family farms in Mississippi. Somehow, and I'll never figure out how, all of my cousins' hippie level in on a hunned. That's the new saying isn't it?

Anyways, I've always pondered how my life would work out if I closed up shop and worked with them.

I'm a little fricked up and having trouble understanding this. Your cousins' hippie level is a hundred? Or am I crazy?

You'd be tired as hell but very content. I highly recommend it.

Yes. Think of it in terms of Madden stats.

If 100 is good, say, like Rodger's arm strength, my cousin's are a 100. They're full blown hippies.

0 is nonexistent, like Trent's vision in the hole. My cousins are not 0 on the hippie scale.

I've probably confused you more, I think I've confused myself

I'm not scared of the work. And I'm pretty much a small town guy, but I'm not sure if I could handle living in Shelby, Mississippi. Plus there are honestly dogs more attractive than the average woman there. It would be a complete life change if I were to do it.

Not far from Cleveland. Cleveland girls are hot, but not very loyal from my experience.
