It's that season

Mosquitos have been increasing in numbers in recent days. I start of the morning by starting dozens of smoke rings, especially in dark corners.  Body sprays of various kinds tend not to last all that long and need to be reapplied. Even more frequently on hot days when body sweat dilutes the effect quicker electric zappers are handy around the house where you don't want to spray nasty smelling insect spray Home made traps do work quite well.  They need to be cleaned and refilled every two to three days. As long as the yeast feeds on the sugar, the trap is active Then of course a good way to keep mosquitoes at bay is to sit in front of a fan. Mosquitoes loose flight control in high winds  Eventually government sprayer make make it to your neighborhood.  It's nasty stuff, stay indoors with windows and doors closed

Fourteen years ago

Just renewed my visa for another year.  As of Tuesday I've been in Thailand 14 years.  Add another 10 days to Tuesday, February 17 I've been living in Sakon Nakhon for 14 years.  Much has changed since I first arrived. This weekend I'm celebrating an anniversary of sorts:  Farewell party at the Phad Thai restaurant in Seattle.

Dead at 14 and off to the trash heap

The water pump lasted 14 years and has daily use watering the garden and adding water to the pool on an as needed basis. During extreme hot days it also pumped water onto the roof to cool down the roof and supply me with hot water.
