Fire season

We were having a Saturday Afternoon BBQ when we received a number of urgent calls "FIRE."    The wind was not blowing into our direction, so we did not even notice the fire two blocks from the house.    The firecrew had the blaze quickly under control.

Sakon Nakhon FC Die Hearts

Die Hearts: overwhelmingly passionate about a specific thing, person, place Not much of a fanbase from Chaiyaphum at the game, an indication that the team also has a limited budget.   Up to now, refereeing at games this season had been good. First half of the game was thrilling.  Sakon Nakhon FC seemed to slightly outperform the opposition by about 20%  Things changed quickly during the second half with some very bad judgment by the referee.  From where the majority saw, there should have been two flags, one a free kick. The two very bad calls were followed by a number of less serious referee oversights. The bad calls seemed to zap the Sakon Nakhon players of some of their spirit.  This should have been a win for Sakon Nakhon FC.    The future looks cloudy, if not stormy. To dream the impossible dream Sakon Nakhon Next travels to Udon Thani on April 5 (Easter Sunday).    Udon Thani seems to have slipped from it's third place position in the league to sixth, pending on the outcome of today's games.      April 12 should be a winning home game against Nakhon Phanom. That is if we have professional refereeing. Nakhon Phanom is 17th in the league of 18
