For me
it all started thirty years ago
My first computer:
The year was 1982
I had four floppy drives connected to a Commodore 64 computer and operated a Bulletin Board System (BBS), called "The Entertainer."
Downloading a picture took an easy five minutes or more at a top speed of 300 bits per second / bps. Downloading games could take most of a day.
These days my average speed is 9.77 Mbps

Dengue Crisis ?
Apparently we are near crisis as far as dengue is concerned.
Local insect spraying used to be about once a month, or once every two months.
Today's spraying is the second time this week in my neighborhood.
Think last week we also got the chemical douse twice.
Kalasin hospital is reporting more than 100 cases of dengue symtoms daily.
A 12 year old boy recently died there of dengue due to two misdiagnosis, where a peptic ulcer was wrongfully diagnosed.

Robinson Sakon Nakhon Grand Opening
Organized Kaos
 |
| Picture by Dan |
Traffic going to the opening day at Robinsons can only be described as organized KAOS.
We lucked out as we arrived they opened another parking area and we were the first in line.
It helped for a quick departure.
As anticipated, the first thing I had was a pretzel. My purchases included soft cheeses and kaviar.
There were enough free samples to make a meal of it.
After an hour of shopping and mingling I decided I had enough. I'll return on a quieter day
New Facebook page Sakon Nakhon / Update has plenty of pictures of the grand opening, including pictures of the traffic jam.
I'll avoid that road for a few more days
