160208 Chinese New Year Parade
I had gotten an early start since I did not know where the parade was gathering.


Once I had discovered that I had time to look around the festival plaza and see how preparations were progressing.
Parade participants were waiting for the organizers to get things started

The parade had been delayed awaiting the royal float

Band music was actually quite good


Imitation is the best form of flattery. 
Complete picture album is available at the link at the top of this page. Video in process.

It's gona be noisy in my neighborhood

They started promptly at 8 in the morning.  The noise is more obvious now that work is not sheltered from 'the great wall.'

Sakon Nakhon

nippy - brisk - cold - chill

It's the temperature which causes my muscles to tighten and my bones feel like they need lubrication.  

  

Next seven days for feels like daytime highs add two to three degrees

There goes the neighborhood

Been living at the end of a dead end road since first moving to Sakon Nakhon. 
There was talk a few years ago that a highway was to be built past my house.  That idea seemed to have been forgotten.  More recently my neighbor began cutting the two foot high weeds, which caused snakes to seek refuge in my yard.   
This afternoon dirt trucks started arriving, apparently to create a road.  This is most likely a project by the property owner, rather than a government project.  Two truck of dirt are arriving every 20 minutes.   
If this were a government project, it would be done on weekdays, rather than on a Sunday. There would be a lot more trucks arriving.


Since I have a high wall in front of the house, construction noise is hardly noticeable.  Probably would not have awakened from my afternoon nap, had I not been awakened to come look.
