Sakon Nakhon Loi Kratong 2012

Sakon city dwellers will be heading for the lake park en-masse.

Thais believe that floating a kratong (raft) will bring good luck, and they do it to honor and thank the Goddess of Water, Phra Mae Khongkha.

The Loi Kratong Parade is generally around sunset.
The parade delivers a royal kratong to the waterfront
I'll update time information later in the day.

This is also the day for the release of the Thai fire balloons, AKA sky lanterns.  

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.
