SakonNakhon FC rained out at Yasothon
I was very tempted Sunday morning to drive to Yasothon on my motorcycle to watch the game
Glad I decided against that long drive on a very hot and humid day.
Yasothon Football field had been hit by a rainstorm and was totally unusable.
The match will be rescheduled at a yet undetermined date.

State of Emergency declared in SakonNakhon
The State of Emergency previously in force in 15 provinces has been extended to an additional five provinces, including Sakon Nakhon. The announcement was made this evening at approximately 6 p.m.Other provinces include Ubon Ratchahani, Maha Sarakam, Roi-et, Nongbua Lumpoo.
The state of emergency gives police and military increased authority to maintain law and order and prohibits gatherings of five or more persons.
Additional road checkpoints may be set up.
All persons should carry proper identification as required by law. Foreigners must have their passports in their possession.
Access to some areas, buildings or highways may be closed to the public.
Red Ants on the move
They're on the move during the dry spells of the rainy season. These red ants make their nests in trees. They prefer big leafed trees and make their residence in clumps of leaves.
Simplest and least hazardous rousting is to use dish soap. Two squeezes of the soap diluted in water.
When under thread, these speedy ants head to higher grounds. Any ants on the ground will be up your legs heading higher. I've had a few bite me in the back of the neck (and elsewhere).
If you're on dry ground pour baby powder (talc) on your feet and ankles.
If your feet are wet, spray dish soap around your feet, ankles and shoes.
I had wiped out three nests on the first day, but discovered two other red ant nest. Then I discovered a nest of black "road runner" ants. Those suckers can run, I'd guess 40kmph.
This time the bites did not cause me any allergic reaction. Local pharmacists have creams available to help reduce the inflammations, when needed.

Cocktail Hour Preparations
Drain Three Coconuts 
Add Rum as preservative
Store in suitable containers and refrigerate until ready to useRecent heavy rains have been a welcome relief from the heat and a blessing for my garden.
The rain has been sufficient to fill my water tanks, but rice farmers will need plenty more rains before they can begin planting.
