Zap... snap.. crack... pop... zap

No it's not a breakfast cereal commercial
at 6 a.m.. mosquitoes are searching for breakfast.
My neighbor starts her daily "mosquito wars."

My mosquito hunt is later in the morning.
When the nasty bugs have started their daytime nap.
In any battle I prefer my enemy napping and drowsy.

Fifteen minutes in the morning is a great light exercise, especially if you have one of those electric zappers in each hand.

Expat shopping
Saw some swimwear tagged 198 Baht.
I needed ten for use by daily pool guests.
I suppose I could have bartered the price down half way to 100 Baht.
Sent my Thai friend to do the shopping. Fifty baht each.  Savings of 1,000 to 1,480 Baht
