Caution:Too many parties and road checks ahead

Dec 23 Christmas dinner party at Apples
Dec 25 Christmas luncheon at the Pit Stop Cafe
Dec 25 Christmas dinner party at Tippy's

Add to that private Christmas parties, birthday parties, and weddings.
All before the end of the year.
It's the first year in my memory that I have to decline a number of invitations.
Guess I'm not as young as I used to be

Special caution:  

Police road check points are up all over town (and nationwide) with breathalyzers.
Anything over one beer can get you into serious trouble if you are driving.

Special mention: 

Anton aka German Tony, who had been quite ill recently and bedridden, has recovered and updated his 

Sakon Nakhon Farang Facebook page  

The light shop next to Dan's Apple was busy building a Christmas Nativity.
Think this must be a Thai version:  CD inside instead of a star on top.

That's the stadium lights on the left

Sakon Nakhon Cowboy

Why he bought a shiny red tractor is anybodies guess.  It wasn't for farming.
Cowboy has had the tractor for a number of years, but there isn't a dent or scratch to be seen.
Some four or five years ago Cowboy brought the tractor to town to have a drink at the former Ned's Bar.
It's a drive of 20something miles.  Top speed, I'm guessing you can walk alongside.
A police road check along the way didn't stop him, no license for tractors required. 
He did get some strange looks though. 

A picture at his wife's facebook photo album explains the uses of his tractor
