Helmet season In the land of crackdowns

Been a few years since there was a nationwide effort to enforce the helmet law. 

My observation: only about 50% of motorcyclist wear helmets. 

Helmets have saved me from serious consequences twice, so I don't leave home without one. 

Will be interesting to see if fees are collected on the spot.  Would not be surprised if there is a 'teamoney' option.

Tariff war end or intermission

Before 'liberation day' I read up on Presidential Powers to impose tariffs. 

 

There are limits without congressional approval. 

So I was surprised when he enacted these huge tariffs, not surprised by court action. What took so long

The meaning of 86

in a restaurant it means don't serve this person, 

                       or this menu item is out of stock 

to a janitor it means throw it out with the trash 

in mob movies, "86 him" means to remove or kill someone

Electric cost and solar option

With my life expectancy in mind (I am 80) a complete solar electric system would not financially repay for itself in consumption.

So I am studying up on solar powered air conditioners and if it's financially feasible.

According to my  electric usage chart, during the few cooler months of the year, maximum bill is under 1,000฿.  Anything above that is cost going toward cooling. During a year that could average 15,000฿. 

Of course as far as solar air conditioning products are concerned, you have to sort through the junk and find something cost efficient. Also looking at DC systems used mostly for mobile homes, on boats and camping

April, May, June, and July appear to be the hottest months
