Thanks for the memories and friends

Windy City Football

Not a happy ending for Sakon Nakhon FC fans

It was a windy afternoon, an empty beer can passed by me at 15 mph.  Occasional gusts up to 20 mph, plenty plastic bags were airborne 

Not well publicized, attendance was meager, mostly hard core fans



Nong Khai players arrived less than an hour before game time

Deflategate? Nah!


Nong Khai seems to have a better team than in previous years. This was a friendly and the loss won't show up on any score tally

Keys and coins, anything metal in your pocket can cause electrical disaster
It's also recommended that you disconnect your phone from a charger before placing it next to your face

Change of plans?

It looked like my neighbor had planned on building a road early this month

Then on the second day of soil delivery there was as discussion which ended the work.  The road was closed off and trespassers warned

A few days later a tractor was busy at the east end of the property.  

No new soil was delivered.  An embankment was built, creating what might become a pond of sort

Went down to the waterfront to check out the water level. It's going down.



Saw a couple releasing some birds. One flew away, a second one did not make it.   
Suspect we'll be seeing plenty walkways in another month or two
