My Rain Gauge in agreement with local TMD
Sakon FC at Chaiyaphum today.
No live feed Score at 52 minutes Chaiyaphum 1 Sakon 0
my meteorological device indicates we had 3/4 inch of rain yesterday late afternoon, all in about half an hour
In case flight tracking interests you, added the link to the sidebar as a Transportation link
I dislike news stories which leave more questions to be answered

Replaced the table/bench/bed which wore out after 17 years. It serves mainly as a bench for kids using the pool, so it gets to see plenty action
Replacing the front porch roofing with insulated roofing as seen to the right in the picture below. I've decided to spend the money after determining that I won't have to spend huge amounts of money on insurance and may decide to stay

Exports down tourism down :: Strong baht the cause?
In the first chart I added January of the previous year.
In the second chart I added January 2017 when the exchange rate was much more favorable to tourism and trade. With the strong baht economic growth slows down

*Crashed the Policeman's ⚽ Ball
Stopped by at Apples restaurant around 6 pm for a quick beer and a visit with friends. On the way home I noticed the lights on at the Metro stadium. I stopped off at home, grabbed a couple beers, camera and earphones and went to watch some football.
I had barely settled in to watch the game when I was offered a plate with shish kabob. I was also offered beer, but motioned that I had brought my own.
Really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. By the cars in the parking lot and most of the clothes worn it was obvious this was an after hours policemen's social event of football and BBQ
*Crash a party To attend a social event without having been invited

190521 Thai sticks were world renown
Amnesty program ended today to report your possession of marijuana. Not quite sure if they allowed persons reporting the possession to keep it , doubt that.
Been staying clean in that respect and should be able to pass a piss test if one was unexpectedly offered.
As for legalization it's still years away. Think government and big corporations will milk the medical purposes as long as they can.
Prefer a joint over alcohol any time. I'm a lightweight when it comes to that stuff a couple of tokes and I'm good for half a day.
It's illegal in Thailand, became so in 1979, pretty sure it was due to pressure from the US Government. Before that Thais were using it in their soups. Back in the 60's up to the 70's Thai sticks were world renown.
'One of the reasons' I'm contemplating of uprooting very soon is at my age I want to enjoy a toke now and then without having to worry about an offer for accomodations at the local government hospitality facility. One to five year accomodations for minor possession and a fine.
Crazy thing is it's relatively easy and inexpensive to come by, even if you know a few government types.
There's a couple local expats who are dreaming of becoming local legal distributors. Keep dreaming.
