Home Invasion

No Idea how they got here, might have been planted. The mother is the neighbor's reddish cat. Four offsprings are hiding in my gutters

No !! I will not stand there during a wind storm to help you hold on to your sign

Recent wind damage should be an alert to all. 
During the next strong wind flimsy construction may be whistling "Sail Away"


This happened not so far away, not so long ago.  Rainy season, which generally lasts until October also includes thunderstorms


No !! I will not stand there during a wind storm to help you hold on to your sign

I'd recommend signs totally detached from the building, as seen at Ned's Bar some years ago.  Think that sign was compliments of a local distributor.

At my age I consider masturbation as a heart exercise and prostate cancer prevention
I also prefer a massage over sex

Colon cancer is on the rise. Checkups advised after age 45




I try to delete the word HATE from my life. 

Hate has a very negative health effect

Finding your way around Sakon Nakhon

Google wants to be running the show
Many of their services are available free as long as you put up with their advertising.
Google maps is one of those services which can be of assistance to visitors and residents.
Here I searched for dentists

In google maps just enter your location and search preference doctor, dentist, temples, or whatever else you may be looking for.
I did a bit of cross checking Hotels on Google Maps

There was a bit of a price difference between Agoda and Google Maps

Visakha Bucha Day in Sakon City SNO


Had to chase away the weekend swimmers, closed down the pool.
Took a trip up to the parade assembly area. Over an hour before the parade even started.


Had time for a brief visit to Apples. On the way I had to stop for this picture
Been told those boxes were EMPTIES
New sign at Apples. Sorry for the brief and abrupt visit, had a parade to go to 

Ya come a long way




  
Took over 600 pictures at the parade.  Still plenty editing to do, 200 completed.

Editorial Comment
Used to be. When I wanted to see the news, I'd turn to the news channels at the top of the hour and I got the news.  
Not anymore.  It's all talk shows on all the major news networks. Al Jazeera is probably the best at presenting the news.  RT presentations at times are informative, but their propaganda is all too obvious. The 15 minute  Reuters NOW  with sidebar index of articles is my favorite.
