Rainy Season? Where's the rain?


  Funeral services for Mr. Francois Max Adair

  Saturday 1 pm, at Pra Wat Saphan Kam (downtown, next to the gas station.)

  Thailand Got Talent video over 1 million views 

                                                              in five days

Thailand's culture minister was outraged by the recent topless painting contestant on the televised show Thailand got Talent.
When I first heard of the incident, and saw the censored video, I was shocked,
The censored nudity wasn't what shocked me, it was the supposed artwork.
I've seen better 'art' painted by elephants.
Latest online reports indicate that the young lady wasn't a real contestant.
According to the online reports, the whole thing was planned to increase the show's ratings


  Rainy season, where's the rain?

Since June 7, we have had three rain days producing 71.2 mm (2.81inches) of rain.
Not the usual rainy season.
Thailand's Meteorological Department posted a warning on June 19
Warning: Heavy rain, flash floods...  possible in Sakon Nakhon
There was a strong weather system which seemed to head this way from China.  
It fizzled out.  Sakon Nakhon only experienced cloudy skies, cool temperatures and wind gusts.
Chance of rain should increase somewhat over the next seven days.
There's local talk that we will experience a shortened rainy season this year, ending in July.
It's too early to say that with certainty as far as I'm concerned.  I'm keeping an eye on the weather developing in the South China Sea.
