Subtle Seasonal Change
Seasonal change has arrived, somewhat subtle, but still noticeable.
School's out and the video shops are busy.
Weather forecast for the entire month of October:sunshine.
After the middle of the month the feels like temperatures tend to align with the real temperatures.
Weather direction seems to have changed, I heard the morning gong (6 am) from a distant temple for the first time in months.
The community announcements have resumed after a lengthy absence.
Insects and snakes also seem to be on the move. My motorcycle helmet seems to be a favorite for mosquitoes.
There are certain skills to be learned in gaming.
Free Educational Games with every pad they hand out may well be a remedy
It's that time of the year again

Esarn Boating Season
The Army team, who I hadn't seen in a few years, is participating again this year.
The team is housed just down the street from my home.
I understand no alcohol, no going out
They have quite a rigorous schedule.
A morning session and a late afternoon session paddling.
They've been in the neighborhood close to a month now
