Mirracles do happen

Busy schedule for Sakon FC.  Three games in seven days.  Yesterday's home game turned into a win during the last minutes.
Water on the field made for plenty of excitement. Lots of slipping and sliding of players and no bounce for the ball.




I had previously mentioned that  It's not impossible Sakon FC defeated the number one team in the league 2-1. It was only the second defeat of the season for Muang Loei.

Street fishing season is open


I ventured out after the heavy rains subsided after 2 pm, Friday afternoon. Water was draining off to lower terrain. The road water level was subsiding noticeably 


Expect a short breather with plenty more rain on the way

There's plenty isolated flooding photography shared on Facebook.  Mixed with it are lots of one year anniversary pictures from the 2017 flood. It's difficult to discern if it's current or not in many cases.
