The rainy season is gone, it's time to pack up the frowns and "BE HAPPY!"

Gloomy weather (rain and clouds) affect our personalities, we've all experienced it to some degree.  Hot weather tends to make me somewhat lethargic (sluggish). Temperatures from the mid fifties to the mid seventies suit me ideally.  It's great for housework, gardening, shopping, traveling  and all those other fun things. Long Alaska winters and no sunset summers probably probably had some influence during my teen years.  New scientific findings seem to confirm my own assumptions, and examine other effects, including 'global warming.' Our personalities are shaped by the climate we grew up in, new study says - The Washington Post  How the Month You Were Born Affects Your Personality | Time

Rust Bucket

 These mop buckets are quite handy to use to wash and wring your mop and they are quite popular.

There is a major drawback RUST.

The spinning basket begins to show rust within weeks.

Even more so, the undercarriage nuts and bolts also rust. Be careful where you store the bucket.  Rust stains are impossible to remove from floor tile grout, and may cause even more damage to wooden floors

Recent studies show increased health benefits, including making you smarter

However, instant coffee has less of these benefits. '... freshly brewed coffee contains 95 mg of caffeine, whereas the same amount of instant coffee has only 62 mg of caffeine ...' Health benefits may be greatly reduced.

Go ahead, drink some water right now

As temperatures cool, many people tend to drink less water, simply because they are sweating less.
Drinking water is essential and alleviates many body aches and pains.  Not drinking enough water can lead to gout, kidney stones and a lower resistance

To my American friends "Happy Thanksgiving."

I'm celebrating the day "Home Alone, eating spring rolls."
I'm quite content though.  Spent the morning at the hospital mental health clinic.

I am in the fifth week of taking Quomem.  According to the brochure it takes six to seven weeks till they become effective and I stop smoking.

One of the side effects has been insomnia.  I'm only getting four hours of sleep per day and that's causing other health problems.

This evening I will start taking medication which should let me sleep for a longer period.  The side effect of this medication may cause drowsiness even during my waking hours.  So I may not be driving anywhere for a few days.

Starts December 11

I'm impressed

Somebody in the information office is really on the ball.  Used to be you'd be lucky you'd hear of an event taking place a day or so before the event took place.  That seems to have changed. Phu Phan Cup schedule was announced a month in advance. 18 - 28 December The 2018 Red Cross Fair received two month advance notice January 12 -21 Christmas Starlight parade December 20-24  Not yet announced are the dates for the customary Temple Fair held in early January

After the rainy season comes the Bug Season

right video narrated in German                                  left video narrated in English Filmed  at the Sakon Nakhon market                         Southern Thailand Many people are quite keen on eating bugs, not me. Keep in mind that you're getting the entire bug, so don't be surprised if your breath smells like CRAP.  Saw a couple roaches approach my abode. Best solution is talc (baby powder). Roaches and other crawlers tend to stay away. Of course Dish soap is a handy and safe alternative
