New Year 2009

  • New Years day at home. I woke briefly at 4 a.m. to some very off key, obviously drunk, female karaoke from across the field. When I awoke at 8 a.m., there was eerie silence. That lasted until 10 a.m. Followed by intermittent barrages of fireworks, near and far. By late afternoon the barrages of fireworks diminished. Apparently they were just using up their leftovers.
  • Thailand: Over sixty killed, over hundreds injured in a Bangkok nightclub fire
  • The cause of that fire is not yet official. Ssparklers were used indoors, possibly fireworks on stage: what were they thinking? Gulf Daily News
  • Steep rise of crime, especially thefts and burglaries since Thailand's economic decline
  • That according to an article at monstersandcritics.com describing the killing of one and injury of a second employee, during a heist of ducks.

2009 What do I think.
  • Wear rose colored glasses.
