Could be the fact that the world population is increasing at a rate of almost 7 million per month. (almost 84 million per year). Somethings gotta give.
When is the end coming?
According to the Aztec calender 2012. Also read somewhere that an old Chinese calender had a similar ending date.
My computer mouse was quite sluggish this morning.
I got some rubbing alcohol and toothpicks (to get into the crevices). As soon as I applied the alcohol a herd of tiny ants made their escape from the mouse.
I tell the truth.
Most the local fallangs have heard me tell this story.
A few years ago I was headed to the cash machine on my motor bike. A Sakonnakhon policeman stopped me at an intersection.
Road checks are a common practice in Thailand where they check your drivers license and registration.
This time it was a bit different though. The cop jumped behind me on the motor bike and instructed me to go.
I was surprised and baffled. I came to the conclusion that the guy could not speak English and was taking me up the street where other policemen could speak to me. We passed my cash machine and came upon a red traffic light.
The cop kept saying go... go.
Well folks, I'm not about to run a red light with a cop sitting behind me.
We finally came upon a spot where there was an empty field. I was ordered to stop. Without saying a word, the cop got off my bike, walked across the street, mounted his own bike and drove off. I was furious. Too bad I wasn't thinking fast enough, I should have charged him a taxi fee.
My first car.
I was stationed in Germany, 15 miles from my relatives. Bought the German Ford from a pig farmer. I got a really good price break. He used it to haul pigs to market. It took a number of washings to remove the stench. An officers wife cut a mattress to size and made curtains for me.
