Alvin and friend

Alvin joined my household in may 2010.  At the time he was probably a few months old.
His new friend is two months old, born in captivity.
Today was the first time out of the cage and Chippy seems to adjust quite well.

They are different species, which generally do not cross breed.  It will be interesting to see if this holds true in captivity

Patanasilpa Vocational College

The school's owner is artistically inclined, and quite good at it.
The school seems to emphasizes art and vocational skills
The school was previously known as Sakon Nakhon Business Administration College
(S-BAC), where I was teacher from 2003 to 2011

Sakon FC thrashed again

Kalasin 4 

Sakon Nakhon 2

The field was saturated

The bucket brigade stepped in

By the end of the first half there was still optimism

Still some hope

Kalasin quickly dashed all hope at the beginning of the second half

  

While the slipping and sliding during the first half was at times quite humorous, the second half brought out player aggression.  A number of times it seemed a brawl was about to begin.
A Kalasin player confronting (chasing) the referee should have received a red card.  He didn't even receive a yellow.

  

Guess there were visitors from distant places

Sunday

Umbrellas advisable

Weather continues to arrive from the Northwest.

Rain SHOULD subside by 

5 pm game time when Sakon FC hosts Kalasin FC.

The field will be saturated, I expect slip and slide football. 

Footballs don't bounce well on water, 

players slip and slide. We've seen it before Splish Splash Football May 2011

Historically, Sakon FC has done best under such wet conditions.

Sakon FC has fared better in home games

in previous Sakon  / Kalasin encounters
