Experience a temple on Asalha Puja Day

Best parking at Wat Phra That Choeng Chum is the waterfront park at the rear of the temple

Expect a rainshower or more; Daily: Likely heavy

The weather from the east and northeast seems to be winning for the moment. Nothing nasty out there in the pacific, no hurricanes, no cyclones, no tropical storms. Just plenty rain. Some cool temperatures.

I was Dreaming of a Win

Sakon MT FC held the game scoreless until the last minute of the first half. Their minds must have left early for the breakroom.

The last three games of the season 'should' all be wins. There's still a chance to climb higher in the league rankings

Sakon FC challenge

After yesterday's (Saturday) games played, Sakon Nakhon FC remains in 5th place for the moment. A win today could propel the team upwards. Chaiyaphum is in third place. It would be a Miracle.

If live streaming of the game becomes available, I will mirror the stream here at 4 pm or shortly thereafter

One hour per day free, otherwise it's a payservice

Rainy season health alert

Heavy rain yesterday evening, I'd say 3 1/2 inches in a little over an hour. I had planned to go out for the evening, but wound up in a prone position most of the evening due to medication. When the storm began I was just happy I was at home. Would have been drenched on my motorcycle. Thought I saw a few very large worms on paved areas. On closer examination I realized they were baby snakes. Always been an advocate of washing your feet and legs when wading in standing water. Changing that to take a shower and check yourself for ticks. This rainy season is turning out wetter than usual with three months to go.
