Sakon FC's Greatest Challenge Today
They're leaving early this morning on a 168 km journey to face Roi Et FC on their home turf.
Sakon FC made some recent big improvements, and a recent win
But, today they are facing #1 in the league
Roi Et with a record of 12 wins, 6 draws, 2 losses
Sakon FC record is 3 wins, 2 draws, 15 losses
Add to the challenge a four to five hour (not the most comfortable) bus ride.
Of course there'll be plenty of cheering on the team at my house.
A win seems unlikely.
But If a miracle does happen, there'd be a wild night in the old town tonight
In my Neighborhood Fish are Jumping
Some of the local kids spent the afternoon fishing in the empty lot next to my house.
Didn't think much of it till this morning, when I heard thump, thump.
They are jumping fish in a bucket with a lid.
The biggest is four inches.
Suspect I'll be asked to acquire a fish tank of sorts
Tropical Depression Nine
upgraded to Tropical storm Vicente
has changed directions and is expected to be farther north of us (see sidebar tracking map).
Local influence most likely will be a lowering of temperatures.
- accuweather: 34.3 mm of rain on the way (Sunday through Tuesday)
