Social distancing between mask and glasses to prevent fogging


How I do it now (left photo), insure that the wire is tight since the mask is much lower, You can see how much moisture is coming through the mask.

Ideally I would like to find a mask with an exhale vent
Seen some advertised 10 for $12.  Disposable would be better than trying to sanitize the valve

It's not the worst I've seen, but it's getting close



worst I've seen is when this pumping station runs dry.



Amazon at one of the hospital exits.  Maybe open in June or July of August

 

Guessing a tall building is coming there.

Driving through town I saw many shops open.  The most likely excuse, thos shops also are residences. Social distancing was even violated by law enforcement hiding in the shade with friends.

Scattered showers possible, nothing drastic locally

Seen some major storm alerts on facebook. Some indicating possible floods and high winds. 
I was very sceptical.  Eleven weather sites I visited agreed it was going to rain, all differed on amount and location and time.  Most alerts claimed wind gusts at between 11-15 KM h.

Looking outside at 6 am I did not see any wet roads. Everything seemed dry.  Checking again an hour later with full sunlight I discovered evidence that it did rain sometime during the night.
Additional evidence in my own yard. Plants which I had powdered with Talc had all been washed clean
TMD reported a wind gust of 14.8, rome rain shortly before and after midnight at 6.6 mm.

Every 'mobile device' picture you take is most likely saved for you on the net

If you snap pictures with your mobile device, your pictures and videos may automatically be saved to the web. Depends on your settings.

Possible difference may be quality.  Also depends on your settings. Then you may want to consider manual transfer to you computer
  
Below: some pictures I took yesterday.  Have to delete them on the phone then delete duplicates on the net.  Don't have to bother with transfer.  



The first pictures looking into the water pot. For some reason ants mistake it as their swimming hole till I turn on the heat to make coffee. I'll keep one picture, delete 3.

Cooked elbows in the rice cooker. Freeze them in meal portions.  Do the same with rice, stew, etc.

The last picture six facemasks I bought late January 6 each for ฿20 
(averages out to 10 cents each)

Doubt you find that price today


Tuesday I took some temperature photos.  Usually do multiple and save the best


Google maps generally records my mobile device whereabouts. Frequently I travel without it. When I do want a record I carry it with me

Prohibition extended till the end of April

The somewhat expected news was made public early wednesday afternoon. Alcoholics will have to either deal with withdrawal or find sources.  

Not a major problem for me.  I drink an occasional beer when I have an upset stomach. It relaxes the muscles. One beer is usually sufficient. Replacement medicines have undesirable side effects.

Most businesses will most likely get the ok to reopen by May 1.  

That will most likely happen because the Thai government has limited funds and may need to borrow money for further benefit payments.

Deeply appreciated the interruption

Half a dozen friends visited as a group very unexpectedly and did the Songkran ritual, placing flowers in my hands and pouring water onto my hands.

Prohibition started here

Some seem to think that Thailand Tourism will be up and running later this year.  I have serious doubts.  

Just because (eventually) borders are reopened, tourism is not going to rebound quickly. There will remain a fear to travel to distant lands. Thailand's neighbors seem to be having more serious problems with the virus than Thailand.

For the near future travel plans will involve close to home (domestic) travel. This requires domestics  with jobs and a little extra cash.

Health checks may be required for future international travel.  It would seem sensible to test a bit more than just the body temperature.

Sakon Nakhon has been surprisingly lucky with very little known virus. There were unconfirmed rumors early of just a few suspicions and only one confirmed case.

Sakon Nakhon was the first province to introduce alcohol prohibition.  Made international headlines within hours. It was also a very busy evening on my blog. It will be interesting to see if prohibition ends as scheduled or will be extended

Something I had already been doing, recommended this morning on the evening news

 Sanitize your groceries before bringing them into your house

Grocery stores are public places where the virus could survive.  

Don't bring your groceries into your house until you have sanitized. 

Most goods such as cans, plastic containers, even waxed paper can be submerged briefly in soapy water, then rinsed and dried.  

Fresh produce should be submerged and washed in cold water. Takeout food should be microwaved for a few seconds

Sakon Nakhon gets International attention for being first

That Alcohol Prohibition announced Monday was like the shot heard around the world.  Similar prohibitions have been enacted in other provinces, and in fact in other countries.

It was only inevitable.  Many social media postings showed people still gathering in groups, majority with alcohol

The original business closure notice was in effect from 23 March to April 2 
Monday's declaration extended that period until April 16 
A second declaration published mid afternoon, Monday, outlawed all alcohol sales also until April 16.

Even though I  only drank two beers in the previous seven days, 
I immediately sent my purchasing agent to hoard twenty four cans in my kitchen

Morning traffic is usually quite heavy

If you get your cash through a cash machine. Get current now.  Once the government starts issuing cash, the lines at the cash machines may be lengthy
