Visakha Bucha Day in Sakon City SNO


Had to chase away the weekend swimmers, closed down the pool.
Took a trip up to the parade assembly area. Over an hour before the parade even started.


Had time for a brief visit to Apples. On the way I had to stop for this picture
Been told those boxes were EMPTIES
New sign at Apples. Sorry for the brief and abrupt visit, had a parade to go to 

Ya come a long way




  
Took over 600 pictures at the parade.  Still plenty editing to do, 200 completed.

Editorial Comment
Used to be. When I wanted to see the news, I'd turn to the news channels at the top of the hour and I got the news.  
Not anymore.  It's all talk shows on all the major news networks. Al Jazeera is probably the best at presenting the news.  RT presentations at times are informative, but their propaganda is all too obvious. The 15 minute  Reuters NOW  with sidebar index of articles is my favorite.

Turf Football, volleyball, crazy driving

Turf Football
Hadn't been at this field in quite a few years, forgot to bring a sun umbrella. Best time to watch a game is during bar hours 11am-2pm after 5 pm. Otherwise BYOB (bring your own beer).
 

Big  loss yesterday, next game 11 am
