Windy City

Internet television

If you missed your favorite show, like I did, then check the time where the show originates. Daylight savings time (summer time) ended and many clocks in the west were set back one hour.

The Halloween get-together...

...was fun. I left at 10 p.m.
I understand things got a bit ugly later in the evening.
The list of people boycotting the establishment continues to grow.

Loi Kratong.

Visited the ceremony area earlier in the evening. But I knew it was going to be too crowded and instead spent the evening near one of the park entrances where the parade passed by. Met many friends as they entered the park. As it turned out, my Thai family was selling novelties nearby. Once I discovered them I did not have to buy 'refreshments' anymore.

This particular entrance had a steep incline and it was a bit amusing to see float vehicles rolling backwards. Luckily a policeman realized the situation and insured pedestrians were kept back until the vehicles made it up the hill.

Kids were busy examining the floats looking for coins, placed there as offerings.

Sakon Nakhon police deserve recognition for the job they were doing.
City traffic was at it's worst. It was obvious the whole city was on the move.
The men in brown did an outstanding job to keep some semblance of order.

It's been quite windy with dust and debris piling up in front of my driveway.
The cold season came very early this year.
My water has been off for two days. I finally checked the valves on the street.
Sure enough it was a Halloween trick. And I thought Thais did not know about such things.
