Am especially interested in upcoming BANGFAI celebrations
Sakon Nakhon Eostra, the goddess of spring and fertility
 Before Christianity rolled into town, folk had other gods, goddesses and deities. All those celebrations were cancelled and replaced with christian festivals. At times they did leave some clues behind as to the origins of the celebrations Eostre, the goddess of spring and fertility is one of those. Pagan legend tells us that Eostre was reincarnated as a rabbit in early spring, after rescuing a dying bird Christian Easter is the celebration of Jesus rising to the heavens. Apparently the rabbit stayed behind to deliver the eggs. The egg being the symbol of fertility. |

UV Index 10 Extreme ( UV Index 0 - 11+) "Extreme" risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure Wear SPF 30+ sunscreen, cover exposed skin whenever possible, sunglasses, and a hat. Do not stay in the sun for too long UV risk is high when the sun is directly enough overhead that people's shadows are shorter than their height Expect this trend to continue unchanged for the coming months |

Fan Failure
Heard a loud pop outside around 8 am, and then the electricity went out.
It was out for about half an hour. Tearing myself away from the computer, I jumped into the pool.
When the power goes off the alternative for keeping cool is the pool.
