A Gentleman named Jim recently commented about my Picasa Web Albums:

"I was with the 809th Engineer Battalion at Camp Ruam Chit Chai just outside Sakon Nakhon in 1970. Have you ever heard of that facility? Have you ever been by that location? Do any of the buildings etc. still exist? Your pictures triggered memories of the time I enjoyed in Thailand. 
Some of the friendliest and most loyal people I've ever met.
After all these years, I wonder what has happened...."


I'll have to ask around and see what I can discover.

Reminiscence -  July 5th 1975.

Me driving South on I-5 in Seattle. 

That's the Seattle U-District in the background.  That stretch of the freeway had been completed in time for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, otherwise known as Century 21.
I'm driving an Italian made VESPA, the only transportation I could afford.  The best part was I could cruise around for a week on a dollar of gasoline.
These days, at times,  I can be seen in similar posture on my 2010 Nouvo for 100 baht per week.  I could afford a car, but don't care to.
