Rainy Season Interruptus ends

 Seven Days without rain during the rainy season

I had previously mentioned the increased chance of rain this weekend. 
Yesterday: 
(1) it looked like a heavy storm was coming from the east 
(2) later in the morning a stronger weather system from the north pushed the easterly weather southward.

(3) the northerly weather system quickly lowered the local thermostat, allowing for a fery comfortable afternoon and pleasant evening. With less rain, compared to the avoided easterly system 

 Sakon FC:  So many near misses, but no cigar 

Prior to the game I had predicted that it would not begin to rain until the end of the football game.
I was right. 
Wished we would have had some heavy rains before the game.  Sakon FC seems to win when the turf is soaking wet. 
Before the game I noted another former Sakon FC player, now a member of the opposing Nong Kai team (39).
Another severe setback: This guy is good. Gazelle comes to mind!
Start of the second half Sakon FC momentarily came to life. One near miss after another.
The crowd went wild for a while, but both the players and fans seemed to quickly loose all steam.
The game ended Sakon 1, Nong Kai 3


 Thai ministers gone Gaga
Gaga Defined dictionary.reference.com
1915-20 French origin:  excessively and foolishly enthusiastic, infatuated, demented, crazy
Lady Gaga performed in Bangkok on May 25
Within a few days the Commerce Ministry's Intellectual Property Department complained to the US Embassyexpressing disappointment of her tweet wanting to buy a fake Rolex in Bangkok.
I'm certain that complaint received priority attention at the U.S. Embassy
More recently the Culture Ministry has made international headlines with his complaint to the local police department, of the inappropriate use of the Thai flag during her performance.  A flag  was fastened to the rear of her motorcycle.
Really !! What did they expect from a woman who does bizarre things to get media publicity.Wearing hamburger as a dress comes to mind.
