Mosquito Wars 2016

Zika virus
First 'isolated in 1947 from a rhesus macaque monkey- wikipedia
Zika virus is transmitted by daytime-active mosquitoes, causes illnesses similar to mild dengue fever.

Opinion: Even though a few cases had recently been made public in Thailand, I suspect the virus has been around for some time, possibly misdiagnosed as dengue.

Lifestyle Improvement planned

Thailand Plans to Boost Northeastern Economy The article mentions border trade with Laos and government spending. The problem as I see it.  Everyone is growing rice, rubber and sugar.  When  demand is there, so is the economy. A downturn in market demand for these products and everybody is in the poor house. Diversified agriculture is essential to avoid such downturns. Government spending needs some redirecting. It smells somewhat of vote buying. Water management and storage should be of higher priority than fast trains. TAT promotions of the area are lacking.  Events calendars for Sakon Nakhon list the wax castle festival and the christmas star parade.  Not much beyond that.  There's more than that happening around here.  Event advertisement is generally a week before it happens. Not helpful to tourists who plan their trips months in advance.   PDF TAT brochure printed in 2011 "Sakon Nakhon"  PDF TAT brochure printed in 2010 " i-San "

Cool season Pool Maintenance

No Idea how a couple of tiles cracked in the pool: KIDS. Tiles replaced, next scrubbing and fresh caulking.  Filter lasted ten years. could have jury rigged it and made it last another year, but decided to replace it. New one should arrive Monday, as promised.  I won't hold my breath The pool is only a meter deep, enough to keep me cool on a hot day and not deep enough to have to worry when the neighborhood kids come for a splash.  That's almost every day
