I saw Elvis ... saw Nixon too ... Yes I did ... Yes I did

 

Summer 1967

I worked as bellman in Monterey, California. Elvis travelled with an entourage of bodyguard, personal chef , etc.  Took over one complete building, half the bar was closed off and privatized for Elvis.  He looked very bloodshot, he seemed stoned on some "medication."

A year later I was busboy at the Claremont Country Club 

Nixon attended a Oakland Raiders victory dinner.  

A 1895 wooden building served as an employee dormitory.  

With a sink in each room which also served other uses beside handwashing.

Night lights just got easier

Gone through a series of motion detector light fixtures. Most have broken down within a few years. Then I saw motion detector light bulbs.  Tried one for a few days. Going to get me a whole bunch more

Earlier this week road repairs at Sai Sawang in front of  โรงเรียนอนุบาลสกลนคร (kindergarten) lane closure Lake water level seems low.  Heard mention earlier this month that some of the water had been drained to allow for new rain  Embankment seems to be crumbling

After the heavy rains

Ants tend to look for new housing.  I was reminded of that just a few days ago.  Had to rush to the drugstore to get some  antihistamine and anti allergic cream to cool down those dozens of bites in my feet and legs.  Time to powder around my domain.

Ready for the rainy season

The strongest storm of the season at my house hit today. Yes other areas had it worse already.  Strong winds driving the rain sideways.  Lightening and thunder simultaneously this one was directly overhead. Power went off at noon, but I was able to continue watching a movie on my laptop.  Was connected to the net via this portable wifi device.   The battery pack is just in case the fan, earphones and other devices run out of juice before the power is restored. Laptop battery is discharging at 15% per hour. Hope power is restored by this evening
