This Saturday afternoon

After the heavy rains

Ants tend to look for new housing.  I was reminded of that just a few days ago.  Had to rush to the drugstore to get some  antihistamine and anti allergic cream to cool down those dozens of bites in my feet and legs.  Time to powder around my domain.

Bring swimwear and a towel


Waterworld is at Robinsons,
the rubber and plastic version


At the city gate they were setting up to greet the cyclists with plenty of pomp




It all got started in Nakhon Phanom two days ago



What ? You never saw fishes walking ? Here they were attempting to scale the walls



I could enjoy being a passenger

Local storm damage








สกลนคร Sakon Nakhon

Ready for the rainy season

The strongest storm of the season at my house hit today. Yes other areas had it worse already.  Strong winds driving the rain sideways.  Lightening and thunder simultaneously this one was directly overhead.

Power went off at noon, but I was able to continue watching a movie on my laptop.  Was connected to the net via this portable wifi device.  

The battery pack is just in case the fan, earphones and other devices run out of juice before the power is restored.

Laptop battery is discharging at 15% per hour. Hope power is restored by this evening
