SK fc thirteenth, let's hope it's LUCKY


SK fc at Sisaket United 

6 pm, Sun 12/06/16
 That's a four to five hour trip.  Depending on transportation used and departure time, SKfc players need to be well rested before gametime. Ideally players should have traveled a day early
 
With three games played Saturday, SKfc has sunk to 10th from 8th in the league, with 18 points
Sisaket is 11th in the league with 15 points. 
Yesterday's scores Division 2 
  • Mukdahan Lamkhong 0 - 7 Nong Khai
  • Mahasarakham United 0 - 2 Yasothon
  • Surin 1 - 4 Ubon Ratchathani
The only surprise to me was the Yasothon win.  Happen to find a live stream of the game on facebook

Chilly Bar and Restaurant in Sakon Nakhon Address Correction


Located on the main road same as Robinson opposite airport runway.


Saturday Northeastern Division Games

Probably quite obvious who will win today's games.  Today's games most likely will not affect SFC standings
Mukdahan 14 Nong Khai 9
Maha Sarakham 3 Yasothon 11
Surin 12 Ubon 2
numbers represent league standing prior to game time

When streets become waterways


What will this year bring.  From my observation, August seems to be the 'high' season

Nothing serious yet

Continued cloudy, sun breaks, insulated rain. High humidity continues, especially noticeable in early evenings.  Increased likelihood of rain after midweek.  The system west of us is moving mostly northwest, lets hope it continues the direction.  We will likely see a tentacle of that storm later next week

The year was 1955


      

Did  you hear the post  office is
  thinking about  charging 4 cents  just to mail a letter?






If they raise  the minimum  wage
to $1.00, nobody will  be able  to hire outside help at the store.







When I first  started  driving, who
would have thought gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon? Guess we'd be better  off  leaving the car in the garage.





I'm  afraid to send my  kids to the
movies any  more.  Ever  since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN  in GONE WITH THE  WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL  or DAMN in  it.  




I read  the other day  where some
scientist thinks  it's  possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the  century.  They even  have some fellows they call astronauts  preparing for it down in Texas  



Did you see  where some  baseball
player just signed a  contract  for $50,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise  me if someday  they'll be making more than the President.  








I never thought I'd see the day
all our kitchen  appliances  would be electric.  They're even making electric  typewriters now.  







It's too bad  things are so tough   nowadays.  
I see  where a  few married women are having to work to make ends  meet. 





It won't be  long before young   couples are going to  
have to  hire someone to watch their kids so they can both  work.  





I'm afraid  the Volkswagen  car
is going to open the  door to  a whole lot of foreign business.







Thank  goodness I won't live to
see the day when  the  Government takes half our income in taxes.  I sometimes  wonder if  we are electing the best people to government.  
 


The fast food restaurant is  
convenient for a  quick meal, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch  on. 




There is no  sense  going on short
trips anymore for  a  weekend.  It costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay in a  hotel.  




No one  can afford  to be sick
anymore.  At  $15.00 a  day in the hospital, it's too rich for my blood







If they  think I'll pay  30 cents   for a haircut,  forget  it.
