So I'm thinking I'm the only one obeying the speed limit
Dust and Detours the worst is yet to come
It's probably still weeks away expect the intersection closure  Took a few pictures of the construction approaching Apples Restaurant. Construction across the street will most likely begin in the next day or two. Expect an announcement of possible one or two day closures next week. This latest dig exposes the low water table  It will be interesting to see how the Tubar which had to set up temporary tents to accommodate the nightly crowds will deal with this construction in the next few days  |

No high priced cleaning supplies needed
My pillow cases never seemed to get totally clean in a cold water wash. Even added some products which advertised whitening.
Tried something different this time. Pillow cases are spotless with just a couple dabs of toothpaste and a little handwashing
I wasn't totally surprised, had used toothpaste on tile grout with surprising results |

May 15 last day of the SANUK ASEAN EXPO 2018
 Let's hope they won't overreact and release too much at once Phu Phan mountain range is especially hazardous during wet and stormy weather Power Lines down in Khok Si Suphan Repairs in Progress Here's an idea for the rainy season Still a bit under the weather. Worst day was saturday. My nose imitated Niagara Falls. Two days later I feel somewhat better. Still imitating a couch potato. Chicken soup and juices. |

And so ends the first half of the season and a three week pause
From 10th to 7th for the moment Early streaming of the game was interrupted twice by a heavy tropical storm. May have caused some camera malfunctions. For quite a while there was no zoom, just not worth watching. As it turned out Sakon scored apparently in the final five minutes of the game.
scroll to 51:00 to see the goal
The team may be unhinged from 7th place by a game today Buriram vs Surin. It's doubtful, but not impossible
Thai League website is worth a visit,

large air dome with over 300 booths
 May 9-15 One of those announcements with a very short fuse. Public announcement was made yesterday, May 7, starts tomorrow may 9. Located at the Provincial Headquarters. There has to be a hell of a lot of activity today to get the show on the road by tomorrow. 300 boths may be a bit of an exaggeration      |

The last Mango
 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Third year tree produced 40 to 50 mangos. Once I said OK they disappeared in a week. Did plant two more trees last year, so I'm hoping for a bountiful harvest next year.  Like the green ones in a salad. Flags on top of the page indicate the top ten visiting countries this week. This changes occasionally and does indicate where the tourism interest is coming from | |||||||||
