The Murphy Rule

Just installed Windows 8 onto my computer. You know the saying: "If it can go wrong it will."   It did !! To make a long story short, I was at it for a week.I opted for the on-line update instead paying extra for the disk.Disk installation is simpler than on-line installation.I learned connection errors during the on-line installation can raise havoc. Of course with the new system I had to learn how to use the features, un-install all the unwanted software and re-install favorite software. All time consuming. I'm happy with the end result, especially since live TV video streaming is noticeably improved.

Sakon Nakhon I.T.U.Lake Going, Going, Gone

Earlier this year, around July, I was looking at the lake at the end of I.T.U. somewhat nervously. 

I'd seen that lake spill over in previous rainy seasons. 

We didn't have much of a rainy season, so the lake did not spill over.
With this year's drought, the lake has disappeared.

From the looks of things, the dry lake bed is about to be filled in, and we'll be seeing housing construction soon.
