Pleasantly cool at the moment, but that's about to change again

The weather
Weather direction has changed now coming  predominantly from the southwest.
Even though there may be minor changes in the daily high temperature between 33 to 35,
the feels like temperatures are getting ready to soar again.
Water in the air, also known as high humidity will make temperatures feel like 40 to 55.

It's algae and fungus season.  My pool will require extra doses of chlorine and soda.
These two ingredients are also great for cleaning fungus and mildew around the house.
Flu viruses don't survive in high humidity according to research.

Scattered Rain and thunderstorms at times.

Another Rat, that's what I thought 

Saw this little creature out on the roof and tried to chase it away with a broom.
Minutes later, while tending to the garden, Joey screamed. He had gotten bit.
He had cornered and caught the pest near the pool.
"I used to have one of those in Bangkok as a pet," Joey mentioned.
We spent over an hour gathering materials and build a temporary cage.
Then he got the talking dictionary and confirmed that wet ball of fur was a squirrel.
We added apple slices and peanuts to the cage.
That squirrel lost all shyness and fear and began feasting like there was no tomorrow.

The bomb squad discovered and removed a vibrator from his anus.



 

Q & A

What happened to The Sakon Nakhon home page?

Unknown.  Made a number of attempts to contact Google in that matter, but so far have only received a computer generated reply which does not even address that problem.  I hope this can be corrected in the not too distant future.  Blocking this website has affected some map links which I will have to redo, if this can't be resolved.  Most of the data, such as Calendar, Festivals, Sightseeing, etc., had already been transferred to this blog.

Kham Hom Waterfall

The first thing quite obvious as you leave SakonNakhon on highway 213, heading towards Phu Phan, is the temperature.

As soon as you make your way up the winding mountain highway, it's pleasantly cooler.

The Kham Hom Waterfall is only about a twenty minute drive from the city.  It's a seasonal waterfall and only becomes active during and after the rainy season.

Even during the dry season it's worth a visit if you enjoy going for a walk along the nature trails.


     

Of course it's a lot more fun after the rainy season

Nature provides Europeans an excuse for extended vacations

Travelers planning return trips to Europe:
The New York Times supplies an updated list of airports affected by a cloud of ash from an erupting volcano in Iceland.

An Animated map of the spreading of  ash can be found  at
Denmark's Aarhus University

The volcano, which spewed up to eight miles into the atmosphere during earlier blasts, is now spewing ash up to three miles high.


At present there is no indication when air transportation will return to normal.
17,000 flights have been canceled to date, affecting an estimated 8 million people.
The volcano last erupted 1821 and was active for nearly two years.
Airline losses $200 million per day BBC
