Mobile Phone security is still a big topic in the media.  Bank accounts, SSN, everything is susceptible to hacking. Extreme measures suggest you
  • copy information you want to keep, such as phone numbers, to an external device,
  • then reset your phone to to factory settings and delete all data
When disposing or selling your phone remove all memory cards

Phu Phan Cup Game Highlights 26 December

The opponent was tough. Both goalkeepers were kept quite busy as the game moved back and forth quite rapidly. The game ended in a draw. Penalty kicks decided the winner

Who do ya call ? The snake catchers

Bob Wilson sent me these pictures and comment
Two O'clock this afternoon this Cobra decided to pay us a visit and tried to get into our house. My wife had to phone city hall to get the snake catchers to come and do their thing



As land is being cleared, trees and bushes cut down, the wildlife residing in those areas seek new shelters and sources of food.

A Christmas Story

Christmas Day was an 'under the weather day.' Bla feeling.  Probably because the previous day I had stayed up 20 hours followed by 5 hours sleep

Fixed salmon for lunch, but it's in the refrigerator.  The only thing I could eat all day was a bowl of rice with gravy. Took some vitamins and drank lots of water.

When I stepped out of the house I was greeted by an uninvited guest cowering in the corner.  Almost pleading eyes.

Sprayed it with the garden hose. Somewhat reluctantly the rat made it's way under the walkin gate.
A few hours later the rat was back. Again I chased it away with the garden hose.
Since then a ladder blocks the space under the walkway.


Will have to install some wire mesh under the walkin gate.
Installed wire mesh under the main gate last year when somebody in the neighborhood raised cats for sale and kittens kept getting lost in my yard


Dozed on and off most of the day, a bit of TV, brief facebook visit.  With quite a few visitors during the day  Let's just say I donated 15 k to Thai friends over 2 Christmas holidays.
Fat Boy also seemed a bit under the weather for part of the day. Half my salmon dinner revived him. 

Alvin was busy collecting tissues and plastic bags, wanting to build a new nest in the windowsill.

 Feeling better this morning. Football and beer and popcorn this afternoon
