We just had another monster storm. The radar showed a small storm cell popping out of nowhere over the city and not going anywhere fast. It lasted less than an hour but was torrential. My rain gauge measured it delivering around 4 inches of rain an hour.

And another downpour just started.

For a long time I have had to endure itching in both ears. It is not debilitating just bloody annoying.

I have tried various brands of creams which are meant to alleviate itching in the ears but at best they only help for short periods.

Any suggestions would be welcome. 

Probably need to see an ENT specialist to get a diagnosis of the source of the itching. With that info they'll be able to tell you what meds to use.

Construction update on the land opposite Nirun.

Spotted a cleaning crew this morning at Angel & Monsters Bar. Perhaps a reopening or a new tenant is on the horizon.

There's a cut through from Soi 10 to Tree Town that's a nice short cut for walkers and bikes that want to get to 2nd Rd or Soi Honey. About a month ago I was disappointed to find it blocked off by a gate a hotel put up, but found out this morning it's not always closed.

Soi 10 side of short cut.

Tree Town side.

The parking area for Honey Slip and Slide Massage is the cut through from Soi 10 to Soi Honey.

Also, on Soi 10 is plenty of bike parking spaces for Hemingways.

Photos from this morning of the activated one way sois.

Good to see a painted sign outside the entrance to LK Metro to remind exiting traffic which way is one way.

Still a WIP on Diana.

I only saw two things I would have done different if I were czar of road signs. One is I would have positioned this sign on the other side of the parking exit to remind traffic that might be tempted to turn right that they would be turning the wrong way.

The other change I would make is to make the signs red instead of blue at the top of the one way sois.

Cued to start after the 40 seconds of blah, blah, blah from the talking heads.

Made me think of the 'Dali'...

Arterial leg thrombosis caused by sitting in a restricted position for an excessive amount of time thus inhibiting blood flow. In my case a Xanax or two helped create the problem.

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/arterial-thrombosis

Actually, kind of a serious problem. In layman's terms a blood clot forms in your leg. The big danger is that a piece of the clot could break off and be carried to either you brain (stroke) or lungs (pulmonary thrombosis where one could drown in their own blood).

The more common term I've heard for the condition is deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It can be a serious problem for those that sit stationary on long haul flights.

Today's the big day for removing the Dali. You can watch it as it happens, or catch the highlight reels later.

Hopefully you'll be sat there drinking beer tomorrow taking pics of any accidents or road rage eh ?????

I'll be there with camera in hand, but expect the change to one way will help alleviate the congestion at chaos intersection.

Prepping Soi Honey today for one way status tomorrow.

Later today I expect Soi Diana will get the same treatment.

I've clicked "Don't Recommend Channel" on a lot of the dog rescue channels. Most of the vids start off showing the dogs in wretched states which I find just too hard to watch.

I once had a 36 hour birthday. Due to a combination of billable and non-billable flight segments I continually flew West for 36 hours on my birthday.

BKK-BOM-ZRH-DFW-ORD with various layovers. I also could not catch upgrades on any segment related to a ZRH leg. Damn Swiss bankers. 😞 

I ended up in the hospital with coach burn a few days later. Damn stupid young people. 😞 

Same with me. Left here on my b'day and landed in Milwaukee 28 hours later on my b'day.

What is "coach burn"?

Read on another forum a discussion about one of the side benefits of spirulina is hair growth. Since it's cheap enough decided to buy a two month's supply. I had my lady take a picture of my bald spot this morning. In a month or two I'll have her take another and report back the results.

https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i3894878931-s14947733212.html

I'm giving up on this experiment to increase hair growth. The only thing I have to show after almost a month of taking it daily is an increase in smelly farts. 

My return trips from middle America (Milwaukee) with two stops usually approach if not exceed 30 hrs doorstep to doorstep. For my upcoming trip I'm looking at 13h 20m, ORD to HND.

Longest ever flight was in the neighborhood of 14.5 hrs, DTW to ICN.

I've never been into buying luxury products or services, but one luxury I treat myself to is BC. Makes them much more bearable.

This is what's been put out in a promo group.

Just had a look at their FB page and no activity since 3 March. Seems to be another business idea that never took off.

The stupid human trick is the driver of the pickup truck that failed to notice the stalled vehicle with hazard lights on and swerved into oncoming traffic at the 00:05 mark. Interesting to see how relaxed the truck driver was until that fateful encounter with a stupid human. Glad she's ok.

The "proof of the pudding" will be if one day you unfortunately have to make a claim.

Most insurance companies will then invent various reasons why not to pay out. 

Unfortunately many reports of insurance companies trying to get out of paying for whatever reason they can invent.
