Don't drink the water unless it's boiled
Very noticeable in recent years has been the ripping up of Sakon City roads for the purpose of upgrading the city's water supply. There have been a number of improvements near the pumping station.
I do use tap water for hot drinks and cooking ONLY !!
Salads rinsed with cold tap water quite often cause me to spend extra time in the thinking man position.
The video does not indicate the location.. Undoubtedly such instances are still prevalent in many areas of the province.
Obviously such severe water supply anomalies should be brought to the attention of the local water department.

Graham West sucumbs in motorcycle crash
Last time Graham was seen, he and Alan had left Apples restaurant to travel to Graham's home where Alan was to assist Graham with his computer.They were involved in a crash with a third motorcycle driven by a Thai woman.
Alan survived with some serious injuries.
Details are secondhand . I have not spoken to the survivor or Graham's wife to verify the information that the woman was seen driving erratic and on the wrong side of the road.
I had talked to Graham the previous day when he informed me that he is only two weeks older than myself.
Graham hails from Chippenham, Wiltshire, England
Weather Alert summer thunderstorm, wind gusts and isolated hail
The first punch may be quite strong (Apr3)

Thunderstorm Prep
There may be some scattered storms before the predicted big one
Expect the main force of the storm late Thursday evening strengthening before Friday breakfast.
Power outages may / or may not result.
Most mobiles do have built in lights, however their usefulness is limited by battery capacity.
Candles may be handy, but who wants to produce more heat when it already feels like 30C and electric fans are unusable.
Rechargeable flashlights have worked best for me in such situations.

Laptops may be your only source of entertainment, if you've saved some movies beforehand. Newer laptops have batteries which can last up to ten hours.
Check your inventory of raingear and umbrellas in case outdoor emergency repair situations arise.
I'm doing a gutter inspection this morning
