Cool season starts early





It seems like the cool season is getting an early start this year.  Overnight temperatures may drop to the upper teens next week. Just for a couple of days.
Shortly feels like temperatures will be identical to real temperatures (less humidity).
Weather patterns are beginning to change, with most of our weather coming from the northeast. 
Keep in mind short term forecasts tend to be more accurate than long range .  Long range forecasts are scientific guesses based on existing models.

why all the fuss

So who said he was coming? and why all the fuss

So I'm thinking I should build a houseboat


Next stop Dubai?

Now where did this guy leave his brains?

Beaches are so polluted with sewage and their theory is it's the water

I been working on my Railroad

A few more days on the jig saw to bridge the last track to the main station (green area).  
Foam has been great as temporary supports in designing the layout. After the track is laid I'll have to do some serious landscaping.  Still contemplating if the center of the table should become a valley or mountainous.

Russian Interference OH PLEEZE give me a break, it's called PSY OPS; propaganda, they all do it

 

 Before the internet, there was radio

World War II Propaganda Broadcasters
Besides radio, leaflets were dropped during the Vietnam War
 In one incident the US printed leaflets which encouraged Vietnamese to participate in an election (1966).
 A reporter stumbled upon the leaflets and pointed out that the US was not to interfere with this  election in any form. 
 The reporters ultimatum burn em or be part of the evening news.
 We unloaded truckloads of leaflets, dug a huge pit, had a huge bonfire.

 These days propaganda is on the net.
 Some more sublilital is the NEWS, which we all know is opinionated. These days propaganda goes by a new name: "FAKE NEWS."  Always check the source, anybody can start a website

Media sites need to become more proactive in identifying the source, before accepting advertising money

Thai Baht strongest against US $ in two years


A little less spending by US expats and tourists in Thailand.


Bangkok's future is high speed trains, but for now it's...

Best way to remove black dried moss

Have tried many methods, chlorine, toilet cleaner, even powdered cement. 
Best method: get it wet. When dried, the moss is hardened and solid, probably a self preservation.Soak the area in water,  keep it wet at all times for two to four days. The moss is now vulnerable to a simple garden hose.  Avoid chemicals which would damage your garden.  Dish soap is less harmful and loosens the soil

Cleaned only with a garden hose
