"Baby it's cold outside"

Chilly morning. 05:30. 
Made me remember the song "Baby it's cold outside."  
Stumbled on a newer 'political correct version and of course a controversy.
Here's just a few. You can find plenty more on Youtube. Dean Martin, Dolly Parton, Rod Stewart, Frank Sinatra, and plenty more to choose from








The new version


the controversy

Drought conditions may hit the area through spring

Notices of expected drought have popped up at most news media Nothing unusual at this time at the local water level (picture right). The second picture was the water level in March of this year

Sakon B scores the first win in the 38th Phu Phan Cup, Baht continues strengthening

Various media outlets are reporting that a government official is urging Thais not to discuss the economy, as it may have detrimental results.


Phu Phan cup Opening ceremony and first games were held in Sawang Daen Din yesterday. Military officials participated for the opening ceremony but were gone by the time the game got underway.

Sakon B won the game against Kalasin

The Thai National Football team dropped to third place after yesterday's game in Vietnam which ended 0-0.  Next game is in March

I prefer mildly hot not 💥💥💥💥💥

There are many claims regarding the effects of  capsaicin.   Peppered foods tend to slow spoilage. I have found spicy foods  clear up my sinuses when I have a cold. There are claims that it lowers cholesterol

Football then Brunch,
sometimes I have to remind myself where I am

The first game was supposed to start at 11:30. For Thai time add 'whatever."
Took over 300 hundred pictures, edited it down to 200. Mostly out of focus, a few to avoid embarrassment. Our team won again




After 2 games I was in no mood to be doing any cooking. Stopped off at Champions Sports Bar and was very pleased by the Schnitzel





If  you've been there and know the condition of the road, then you may wonder if this pickup made it




Sometimes I have to pinch myself  and remind myself I am in Thailand

 

Took this picture ten days ago (6 Nov). Not a parking space along the waterfront road, vendors galore. Did not stop to take a picture today, all the vendors have moved elsewhere. It's nice to enjoy a relaxing waterfront
