Katzen Jammer at 4 o'clock



  • Katze: Cat
  • Jammer: bitchiness, loud complaints, worry, misery, pity, lament, woe, wailing
Fat Boy

I'm not especially fond of cats.  'Nearly' hate them.
  Probably because of a childhood experience. 
My neighbors have a cat colony.
  Most of those cats know to leave when I'm around. 

Shortly after 4 am I heard excruciatingly loud cat screams.
  Less than a minute of that noise,
  I had enough of and went to shoo the cats away. 
One cat in a tree, fat boy had chased her there.
  A tiny cat on the ground, eyes not yet open.
  I was amazed that such a tiny thing could create so much noise. 
Once I had the tiny cat in my hand it quieted and went to sleep.
  Slept in my lap until I took it to my neighbor at 7 am, hence it obviously came from. 
My neighbor laughingly denied ownership,
  but took it, still laughing, when I pointed to his cats with similar markings.
  Think his dilemma is that he can't afford all the spying and neutering. 
Even though I dislike cats, since my neighbor has so many,
  I've not had to clean out a rats nest in my attic.

Transportation Security? Secure?

Classic Wheels

Nakhon Phanom Stadium parking lot somewhat resembled a car show








Sakon FC at it's best

  Sakon FC faced Nakhon Phanom in Nakhon Phanom, Saturday.

The action was intense and non-stop: Exciting!!
The way I see it, it was the best performance by both teams this season. 
The stadium wasn't filled, but it was the largest crowd I'd witnessed at any Sakon game this year.
The crowd was great, no booing just cheering and plenty of groaning at the many near misses.
 
Even though the game ended with a tied score 1 -1, Sakon FC has risen from last place and is  assured that it does not face a one year suspension.
That dubious honor most likely will go to Mukdahan or Ubon.
