But after that, I don’t think I took one the whole 22 days I was in Pattaya, due to all the warnings. The long trip soon after, I remember taking one from Lucifer, she was sweet but I was paranoid(and pissed), telling her “you see these CCTV cameras, don’t F—k me over” or similar….I laugh about it now, because there is absolutely nothing wrong with FL ladies IMO, just use common sense Now Bogota with the scopolamine……I’ll only be drinking bottled beer and twisting the caps off myself. Again, the odds that it will be you are slim, but way higher than getting drugged or robbed in Thailand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tko Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Down at Ban Phe. The tourists are back. In the malls and on the beach, I've seen many more Westerners than I've seen in the last couple of years. Germans, Scandinavians and Russians (spit) mostly. Some Koreans in the mix, too. Anyway, Happy father's day, y'all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizondave Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Can't really show -5.5 degrees and dry in Neath, so I won't bother. Looks like we are going to miss the snow during this cold spell. Bloody cold but far more preferable than snow, ice and cold. Just need to wrap up warm as it is a lovely crisp day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Spent the morning digging drain ways to deflect lots of water from my house & garage. My previous retention set-up failed. So it seems I still remember how to dig a ditch. Soaked to the bone twice Relaxing now, just finished a cup of tea and a slice of pie that I made. Still raining. Got to love that Pineapple Express! Just read this report... San Francisco rainfall breaks daily all-time record, second-wettest day ever A strong atmospheric river has landed in California and is bringing heavy rain across the Bay Area on New Year’s Eve. This specific type of atmospheric river is often called a “pineapple express” because of how quickly it helps transport water vapor from Hawaii to the West Coast... By noon on Saturday, San Francisco’s rainfall had already broke the daily record for the most ever recorded on New Year's Eve, the National Weather Service tweeted. The previous record was in 2005, which was 2.12 inches. Saturday had already seen 2.96 inches as of mid-day. Precipitation records in downtown San Francisco go back to 1849. Meteorologist Jan Null tweeted that the rainfall total has now reached the second highest in history for any day. The National Weather Service confirmed that the city has seen 4.78 inches of rain — second only to Nov. 5, 1994, when 5.54 inches were recorded. https://www.sfchronicle.com/weather/article/California-rain-snow-storm-17684042.php Edited December 31, 2022 by lazarus added tweet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Oh my... there's a "Bomb Cyclone" coming in soon... Forecasters warned residents around the Bay Area to be ready. “To put it simply, this will likely be one of the most impactful systems on a widespread scale that this meteorologist has seen in a long while,” according to a National Weather Service forecast. “The impacts will include widespread flooding, roads washing out, hillside collapsing, trees down (potentially full groves), widespread power outages, immediate disruption to commerce, and the worst of all, likely loss of human life. “This is truly a brutal system that we are looking at and needs to be taken seriously.” . . . ‘Brutal’ storm hitting Northern California on Wednesday could be worse than New Year’s Eve deluge https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Storm-hitting-Northern-California-Wednesday-could-17689953.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forqalso Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 In the San Francisco Bay Area we’ve had a few days of hard rain. The Napa River here almost made it up the berm to the sidewalk today before dropping back closer to normal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
