4 to 1.75 odds

I don't bet financially.  One betting site I came across favors a Sakon Nakhon win 4 to 1.75.  I'm not quite convinced. I'd be happy with a draw.  Then again it's possible.  Yasothon had their first loss last weekend with Surin.    Let's not forget, this may turn out to be Sakon Nakhon FC's best season.  Don't recollect being in fourth place, as they are at the moment

After the battle head for the showers

Rainy season is approaching.  Ants are looking for dry residences.  Ant migrations seem to increase dramatically just before the rainy season.  The rest of the year they seem to be content with climbing trees, and bushes.  This time of the year they seem to be heading toward my house. A few thousand had occupied my outdoor shade roof overnight. They were red ants, they were biters, but their bite was non-venomous. Once the bite was noted, no itching, no scratching, no red spots.  There was a few thousand, they had formed half a dozen clusters. First thing I did was use the waterhose to create a puddle of water to stand in. Sprayed baby powder on the clusters.  That stuff is deadly to ants.  According to recent findings and lawsuits, that stuff isn't healthy for humans either. Those ants out of reach of powder dot some nasty bug spray. Dish soap and water also work quite effectively and are not so detrimental to plants and soil. After the battle is won and casualties are retreating, best thing is head for the showers. Before the rainy season begins in earnest I generally powder the perimeter.  I use dish soap in areas my pet visits

Visakha Bucha day parade or football

There will be a parade tomorrow, as is customary.  Start time is around 4 or 5 pm. I generally watch and photograph these parades.  This year I'll head out to the assembly area (near provincial headquarters) around 3 pm.    By 4 pm I'll be at home hoping and searching for a live stream of Sakon Nakhon FC at Yasothon.  I have beer and popcorn on standby.  I am really surprised that a football game is even scheduled on this 'holy' day. In case there is no video feed, I can return to the parade route. The parade looks best after dusk with lights and candles.

Something going on

It's the day before the holiday, some businesses are already closed.  If you want to drink beer tomorrow, better go buy it today.    Driving around town I spotted what looks like they are setting up for a fair. Someone said two day market.  I spotted some clothing dummies being unloaded They seem to be setting up on the outside perimeter of a larger field, just two blocks south of the government hospital

Reworking Sidebar

External links seem to be a distraction to blog readers. Time spent reading articles from this blog increases drastically when there are no external links displayed.  With external links displayed, readers tend to get sidetracked and wander off. Links are still accessible on a separate page. That page needs a bit of reorganization. Besides the daily posts, I'll be creating more pages. Some touristy stuff and expat and local information.   The pages displayed are all in the 'under construction' stage, shouldn't take too long. Page design will keep in mind that many readers do not like facebook, some don't like trip advisor, ETC Just information, no comments, no gossip  Lil' Pimp page is nearly done check it out
