  1. It’s new, I think. I don’t have a k bank account but can now use the Bangkok Bank app for cordless withdrawals from k bank atms.
  2. It’s the green Mohawk. He didn’t know when to stop.
  3. https://globalnews.ca/news/7358761/used-condoms-vietnam-recycled/ You would have to be cheap to think up this business, even cheaper to be its customer.
  4. After our first daughter was born I quietly pulled the doctor into a side room. I told him, "This is a little awkward but how soon can we have sex now?" He said, "My shift ends in half an hour, meet me in the parking lot."
  5. The cheapest guy I ever met was someone I worked with. We had got sent to Denver for a job, so everyone was getting same per diem and wages. After work one day, four of us went to Red Lobster for dinner. The bill came and three of us put down money for our meals and a tip. The cheap bastard counted the money on the table; including the tip, and tried to use our tips to pay for his meal. He got called on it and he was never invited to dinner again. Regardless of your feelings on tipping, using other people’s tips to pay your tab is thievery.
  6. A new map of Florida
  7. He discovered something that has the same name as he? The odds must be astronomical. It’s like Lou Gehrig dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease.
  8. When I was a kid, we went up to my sister’s farm in Alabama. She had a Vespa and being competitive with my older brother, we wanted to race. With only one bike, we settled on time trials around her catfish pond. After a few times doing this, it was my brother’s turn. As he approached the last turn I could see he was going too fast to make and I started running to where the crash would be. He hit the rail fence sideways, with the bike piled on top of him. I got there and he was shaking and jerking around. I thought, “my God, he’s broken his neck.” I grabbed his arm and I started shaking and jerking. He was pinned on an electric fence.
  9. I was going to post, “why not a tunnel?” But I googled first and saw there were discussions to make it a tunnel originally. Price and HAZMAT limitations scuttled that idea.

  11. Ship pilots belong to the port and only direct the ship until it reaches whatever point is designated as not being in the port . They meet inbound ship before this point and direct them into port. They are very familiar this their little section of the waterway, its tides, currents and such.
  12. Today I rewatched the film The Killing Fields. Four CH-53 helicopters and crew from my Marine squadron were using during the filming. There were no close up shots of my buddies; but a couple of them can say they appeared in the movie. After it ended, I got on the Google and found the book on which The Killing Fields is based. The Death and Life of Dith Pran, written by Pulitzer Prize winning reporter and author Sydney Schanberg. I found the entire book on https://archive.org/ , where I was able to read for free. It is a short, 78 page account including several pages of photographs. But, it was well written and a nice complement to the freshly watched film version. Highly recommend both.
  13. Come on, everyone here knows the Bridgestones went to the guy that ordered the Michelins.
  14. I always send pictures of all the different Lays flavors we have here to my sister. I’ll try to slip these Doritos by her to see if she’s paying attention.
  15. Hopefully; as this is their last trip to Thailand, it will be much longer than planned.
  16. From my last turbine job. In Washington; near the Canadian border, we overhauled three gas turbines over about four months.
  17. I got carried away on my walk today. A little under 21.5 km. You can see where I cooled down in Big C, Lotus’s and Makro.
  18. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/special-reports/407992/ladyboy-monk-full-about-face Here’s an interesting story of someone who grew up basically as a ladyboy, estranged from the father, then quit being a katoey to become a monk for a while.
