Really Bad Day at the Office Sakon Nakhon FC style

    
    

Probably one of the worst performances by Sakon Nakhon FC.
As if they had a nasty hangover from two previous wins.
This should have been an easy win for Sakon FC, with better league standings than Yasothon.

The Yasothon goal keeper was good. Stopped many goal attempts



Was quite arrogant about his achievements.
New Thai football rule?  Goalie get's to shoot a penalty schot at the opposite goal during the game.

There were a lot of yellow cards on the play.  One should have been red. Some pushing and shoving, there was a moment when it nearly got to fisticuffs.  

Think I heard more applause when Joey won a raffle prize, than any plays on the field



Notice the new dress code for the Sakon FC girls "Holy Jeans."   
I'm not a great fan of the half time raffle drawings. I'd love to see a decent half-time show.

This game was worth watching from the free admission  seats.

Slow as a Sloth

Our weather is coming from the south east.
Previous storms threatening the area all dissipated and never reached us.
Hot weekend with a slight drop in temperatures by midweek.

Bangkok and south is getting  heavy rains.  Watched a televised football game from Bangkok.  The field was covered with one inch standing water.  Not a dry player on the field.

Rain for this area has been pushed forward to Tuesday or Wednesday.
Those storms pummeling Ho Chi Minh City will probably weaken considerably if they do reach us.
So far the local rainy season has been a bust.

It's a collection of photographs worth scrolling through.
It's a great overview of events, activities, people and places during the past five years.
A few pictures of earlier years.
Unfortunately a few of the pictures have disappeared, but there's still a lot worth seeing.
Five years worth of postings

Local Water Levels Down

June 2013

October 2004







I'd estimate the entire lake water level is down a good two to three feet. 
 No need to panic just yet.
The peak rain months are July and August.

Sakon is growing, 
water consumption is up.

Rains have been less than normal.  No second rice crop  in this area in 2013.
