Melons and Coconuts


Watermelon Star Show - Best Variety
Google Translation


It's not watermelons, but then, who am I to complain?

Coconut Harvest

Decided to harvest some nuts before heavy storms bring them crashing down.
A few will wind up in my blender, mixed with rum preservative.



Rescued Plant




Found it abandoned in a vacant lot and brought it home.  
So far it seems to not attract insects


Bangkok experiences hottest temperatures in three decades

Recently saw a number of headlines declaring the Bangkok Heatwave of 2012.
Temperatures in the mid forties (113F).
The local thermometer hasn't gone quite that high, but local humidity made it feel just as hot as Bangkok.
I'd been hoping for some rain accompanied by cooler temperatures.
Three days of nearby thunder, but the rain clouds just passed us by.
I've frequently referred to that phenomena as the Doughnut Effect



A Heavy Rain and Flash Flood Warning by the Thai Meteorological Department (this morning)  
excludes North-East Thailand. 
"... very heavy in some places ...  in the western portion of Thailand, the North, Central, the East and the South West Coast


Rising Cost of Living


Complaints are mounting

Get drunk, it's good for business Holiday
