Rainy season prelude now underway

prelude: something that comes before ...
Rains have been daily for the past three days and are forecast daily.
Continuing to arrive from the North-Northwest.  
Early morning dew is on the furniture. A kitchen towel covering keyboards overnight is recommended if you detect moisture on your furniture.
The rainy season: there are periods of sunshine, periods of clouds, and periods of rain, sometimes light, at times tropical.   
It's best to avoid driving during intense rains which limit visibility.  Roads tend to be slippery at the start of a rain, till the dust has been washed off the roads.  
The heavy rainy season is probably another month or so in the future. When the weather patterns shift.
About the time when the monks go into 'Rain Retreat' Wan Khao Phansa. The start of Buddhist lent.

It's a matter of how you look at it

Recent gains (US$) aren't quite up to what it was earlier this year
More Thai money seems to be (leaving) looking for overseas investment

Dinosaurs coming to town

Khonkaen football club.pngWith the weekend over, SFC has settled in at 11th of 14 in the league.

Of course we had high hopes when SFC made it briefly to 8th in the league

Next challenge is Sunday 4 pm:
8th in the league, Khon Kaen "T-Rexes"  are coming to town.   
I'm only hoping that they perform as their name implies "dinosaurs.' 

I'm in a process of collecting the video history of SFC. 71 unsorted and counting

I'm thinking it's an old timer from the looks of the wing damage

From AlbumZoo-ology

A bit warmer today than yesterday.

 Less clouds,
 tomorrow slightly cooler, scattered showers likely
