Light rain not sufficient to douse drought

Last night's rain, if you can call it that, did nothing to saturate the ground.
It lasted only 10 minutes and measured .05 mm - .02" rainfall.

No Sweat

Sakon Nakhon Weather:

Humidity continues to hover below 50%.
2012-2013 cool season is the driest cool season seen in this area in some years.
A few more cool nights,
then nighttime temperatures 20C  plus or minus a degree.

Thailand's 'after 5' rule

Weekend slight chance (10-30%) of scattered showers.

Last night was the M150 concert in Sakon City.  My house seemed to have been a designated pre-concert neighborhood gathering point. Helmets left behind Unfortunately as the sun goes down, after 5,helmets come off, even though the dangers of accidents increase at night

Praying for a speedy recovery

 January 23, 2013
Last I've heard:  Tony is in the Government hospital recovering from a motorcycle accident with serious injuries.  
He should be released from the hospital, requiring 'at home recovery time' within a day or two.

Friends have visited Tony and are assisting him.

Motor cycle accidents tend to cause injuries with a lifetime of discomforts of varying degree.
