Food sales drop somewhat

due to formalin alert

"...said that since the news of the detected substances formalin in food. Sales fell somewhat, but not much. Shop with customers to understand that our raw materials are purchased from reliable companies certified...

..using materials with higher prices. And better quality ...

... customers should look for quality ingredients distribution. And should maintain cleanliness in the store. Especially in the summer, when food will rot faster....

Drought Concern 2014

The last time the area saw any measurable rain was September of last year.
We are now half a year without rain.
General experience is that the rainy season begins sometime in May.
There is no concrete evidence if the rainy season begins on time this year and at what strenght.

To date 18 provinces have been declared drought areas.  Suggestions have been made to prepare water reserves for general consumption.

Water levels at the local lake are dropping slightly.  It will be interesting to see the levels around Songkran.
Water trucks delivering water to remote areas seem to be more frequent on the roads

Recycle

On a recent road trip I discovered what may be becoming a fad.
Drink containers tied to the rear of vehicles.
The end result may be to catch your attention, it sure caught mine.



Saw the use of these fluorescent containers used on commercial and private vehicles.
Then again these drink containers may be the field expedient replacement for broken brake lights
