This should be an I-Phone Commercial


Elephant eats I-phone.
I-phone is recovered in elephant dung.
NO PROBLEM. Phone still works

Did you notice...


...this year's cold season is less humid 

than the  previous four years

Some weather sites confirm my finding.

Flu thrives in low humidity

When I had the flu as a youngster, my mother made steaming chamomile tea and had me inhale the steam with a towel covering my head and the steaming bowl.
Not only did it open my sinus, the high humidity also killed many of the virus bugs

Flu Season

I'm very susceptible to flu, I can catch it from people just mentioning it.
The US is experiencing one of it's worst flue season in recorded history.
I heard it on the news, now I have the flu.

Some interesting statistics about the flu virus:
You can carry the flu virus up to five days before you realize any symptoms.
Flu virus can survive outside the body from a few minutes to 48 hours or more.
Think about that next time you push a shopping cart at the grocery store.

Internet TV

Had previously mentioned poor video streaming over the internet.
I noticed the problem at my home.
Using my computer at other locations I noticed uninterrupted video streaming.

Calling our internet provider, the clerk answering the phone, suggested that we UPGRADE.
I considered it, then decided against it.  I'm paying for a service which I was not receiving.

Lo and behold, since calling the service provider,
my internet service was restored and I am enjoying  television on the net.

If your video streaming is frequently interrupted,

consult your internet provider,

Insure you are getting the service you are paying for

I've heard of street sweepers, but not...

Lawn sweepers?

Drought is becoming noticable

My favorite spot to check on the lake water level.

Not really unusual for this time of the year

Sakon City preparing for Children Day

Folk were busy at the Ming Muang Field preparing for Children Day activities.
Seems to be a government sponsored activity, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are going to be speeches.
Doubt that the kids will sit still for something like that for long




Kids are probabbly going to be more interested in the wares the vendors are pedling
