Garden ediibles

Used to complain when people dumped their leftover food in my garden. In this case  new Thai pepper plant grew out of the food waste I call them footlongs. The green beans are starting to bloom. The Thai version of green beans grow to 12 inches on the average These are great with shrimp on sugarcane

Mosquito Control is in the news I've had success with the bottle trap. I'm surprised there isn't a ready made kit 'just add water' available commercially. Electric zapper lights have little effect on mosquitoes. They prefer dark and moist.  For personal protection I prefer citronella oil. No toxins! Sakon Nakhon 2 Mukdahan 1 Tropical Depression 6 has been upgraded to Tropical Storm Nida. Expect further upgrades. NOAA flash animation best shows how Nida is growing.  Feels like as high as 43 next few days. Chance of scattered shower. Heavy rains still forecast to begin after midweek

Sakon Nakhon Games 2016 Parade

The games weren't advertised all that well.   In fact when I first asked what's going on, I was told Provincial festival. Sport activities were held for most of the day.  Had I known I would have attended there and avoided a bad experience

"Use it or lose it."

It obviously accounts for body strength, to maintain it you exercise.    I've always been of the opinion the saying also applies to the brain.  That subject is making headlines at the moment. Brain training may forestall dementia onset for years, new study says Los Angeles Times‎  I had previously mentioned the purpose of this blog is 'brain exercise.' Drugs, medication and other factors affect brain functions. Fluoride is one of those proven factors.  "...  children who live in areas with highly fluoridated water have “significantly lower” IQ scores ..." huffingtonpost  Fluoride is destroying your brain: Makes me a bit curious what effects toothpaste and drinking water have had on me.  And finally: when we die the brain can remain active for 3 to 7 minutes.  All depends whose research you read.  It explains a lot about those near death experiences of lights at the end of a tunnel and similar experiences.

Esarn Football Dictators in black suits

First of all let's be clear, at football games there are no posted signs forbidding the use of horns or whistles by fans.  In fact many teams sell horns to their fans to cheer their teams.    Occasionally you find these guys in black suits who decide to set up their own rules.  These are not published rules.  These are rules established by the black suits when they feel like it.   There once was a group of fans using guitars to cheer on their team with songs.  That was squashed by the black suits.  There have been incidents when the black suits politely asked not to use bullhorns or other noise makers.  At least they were polite about it.   This time the black suit just went too far.  The black suit had already advised a fan not to use the horn.  Minutes later the fan blew a whistle.  Again the black suit informed the fan the whistle was inappropriate.  So the fan stopped.    The black suit was not satisfied and sent a police force to confront the fan.  Four police officers surrounded the fan from all sides. It was time to leave.  Let's reiterate,  I have yet to see rules 'posted at stadiums' that fans should sit in silence.  I have heard comments that the noisemaker should sit on the other side, no protection from sun or rain.  In that case admittance should be free. It's not the team's doing, it's these Hitler like black suits who act like dictators.   They allow speaker systems so loud that I felt my trousers vibrate from the base. But fan noisemakers are forbidden. Yet road flares, which are more of a dangerous nuisance aren't questioned No wonder attendance is sparse.    Rules should be universal at all games, published and posted, not made up by black coats who feel superior.
