I had better hide my cigarrettes

Another Tabaco Addict in the house. And he doesn't require matches,

Be security concious before you go to sleep

Like anywhere in the world, when unemployment drops, crime tends to increase.
Yesterday the owner of the apartment building across the street from me alerted us of a night time theft.
Gasoline was siphoned from the motorcycles parked in front of the building, laundry hanging outdoors was taken.

Neighborhood dogs, including mine, where barking at 3 a.m. I saw four young men walking toward the apartment building. I concluded wrongly that they were visiting a resident, and ignored them.
We lock our front gate nightly. Neighborhood barking dogs frequently awaken me.
If you do have dogs, beware of poisoning.
Just a few years ago a number of dogs were poisoned in a nearby neighborhood on a night when burglaries also occurred.

I was taken aback by the finger gesture by one of the boys. Enjoyed the story line.

May lead to sentimentalism (mood) similar to "my wife left me, my dog peed on me.

Thailand ZOMBIE SEASON aproaches

Thailand is known for its Cool, Hot, and Wet Seasons.

Little known is the Zombie Season. It occurs once every four years, and last thirty days.

The season coincides with World Cup Soccer.

Expect Thais, especially males, to be bit sluggish and slow in both action and thought.

They might even express "Hang" to explain their hangovers.
Many games conclude well past bedtime Thai time.

SakonFC without Fans

SakonNakhon Footballers headed south on Wednesday, to Yasothon, for a make-up game which was previously rained out.

The game was radio broadcast live at sakonfc.com/web/
There were no SakonFC fans in attendance according to a source at the scene.

A contingent of the cheering team was at my house.
Dressed in team colors, as if attending the game in person.
Joey was listening to the live radio broadcast.

And yes he was cheering, at times screeching. The free range roosters on our street ran for home in a hurry.

At first report I received the score was 1-1, then 2-1, then 3-1. The outcome was 3-2.
The absence of Sakon cheering fans was most likely a factor contribution to the loss.

Strange Pet

Alvin, who most likely seems to be an Alvira,
has gotten quite comfortable with her surroundings.
Loves to use my hands as a diving board and has started to explore the exterior of the cage.

Any unusual noises or movements and she knows, she's safe in the cage.

Swedish Embassy no longer advises against non-essential travel to Bangkok, recommends "avoid large crowds."
