Doors, Beeps, Wheels = Memory lapses
Received in e-mail
It's not our age, it's that dumb door!
Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind,
only to completely forget what that purpose was?
Doors are to blame for these strange memory lapses.
Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that
passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next.
Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale.
Did some further reading on the subject and recommend

Light rain not sufficient to douse drought
Last night's rain, if you can call it that, did nothing to saturate the ground.
It lasted only 10 minutes and measured .05 mm - .02" rainfall.

Thailand's 'after 5' rule
Weekend slight chance (10-30%) of scattered showers.
 |  | Last night was the M150 concert in Sakon City. My house seemed to have been a designated pre-concert neighborhood gathering point. Helmets left behind Unfortunately as the sun goes down, after 5,helmets come off, even though the dangers of accidents increase at night |

Praying for a speedy recovery
January 23, 2013Last I've heard: Tony is in the Government hospital recovering from a motorcycle accident with serious injuries.
He should be released from the hospital, requiring 'at home recovery time' within a day or two.
Friends have visited Tony and are assisting him.
Motor cycle accidents tend to cause injuries with a lifetime of discomforts of varying degree.

Sakon Nakhon Smoggy and Noisy
As we left the house on the way to visit the fair I commented "where's the fire?"
Once on the main road it became very obvious. You could see thick smog under the street lights.
A weather inversion keeping polluted air close to the ground.
Smog: smoke and fog. Any major city would have posted health alerts.
The weather inversion also seemed to keep sound close to the ground.
The concert at the temple started at 9:20 pm.
At first I thought the neighbors had their stereo turned up high.
I was about to complain, till I realized it was the temple concert two to three miles from my house
Most roads around the temple had been designated one way traffic.
Luckily I've been here long enough to know all the alleys avoiding gridlock.
Countless food stalls and sit down eateries.
.
Didn't stay long near the temple building
incense smoke was very thick
Plenty to see, do, and buy.

Thai ฿ on the rise
The Thai Baht is on the rise. Hopefully it's only a temporary climb.
If you look at the five year trend. We've been here before.
For me it means a cost of living increase.
For Thailand it means more expensive exports.
Exporters would prefer a devalued Baht.
In order to help their export economy, Japan recently devalued their currency slightly.
To which the Russians seem to be threatening a currency world war.

Chilly Nights Again
Yesterday's wind gusts from the north east were a notice of a change in the weather.
Expect three cool nights with temperatures in the low teens (low 50's Fahrenheit).
The temperature roller coaster ride continues
Humidity is 20 to 30% below the average in recent years.
Fire hazards due to dryer conditions.
