large air dome with over 300 booths

May 9-15 One of those announcements with a very short fuse. Public announcement was made yesterday, May 7, starts tomorrow may 9. Located at the Provincial Headquarters. There has to be a hell of a lot of activity today to get the show on the road by tomorrow.  300 boths may be a bit of an exaggeration

The last Mango

Third year tree produced 40 to 50 mangos. Once I said OK they disappeared in a week. Did plant two more trees last year, so I'm hoping for a bountiful harvest next year. Like the green ones in a salad. Flags on top of the page indicate the top ten visiting countries this week.  This changes occasionally and does indicate where the tourism interest is coming from

These events are not tourism promoted. I'm hoping to see at least one bang fai event in person this year

Somebody light the fuse under Sakon FC

Bang Fai weekend in Phang Khong (50 km west of Sakon City)
After yesterday's Nong Bua Lamphu win, Sakon Nakhon changed positions with that team from 12th to 13th. A win today against Loi City is what's needed. The difference in wins and draws is not that far apart between the two teams Most weather forecasters are saying the rain will stop just before gametime.  There's a couple who say light rain during the game.

There is a story I must tell

My roommate burgled washers and dryers in apartment complexes using a crowbar. Unfortunately for him someone in the apartment complex had just reported a rape.  Next day cops arrived at the house and asked to see his room.  Rapists tend to collect souvenir clothing and the cops wanted to see if he had some in his room. 'We only want to see his room, anything else is not our concern." The investigators searched his room and as they left, one of them pointed to a bowl on the table and said: "When you run out, give me a call."  The bowl was filled with a pound of MJ I had set aside for a football party.
