Something was watching over her that day !
Completely unaware of her surroundings..... My head and eyes are on a swivel around traffic & entertaining/exiting a vehicle.... Lucky lady....

Hawaiian shirts
Tommy Bahama's have been a constant for seasoned travelers for years.....Easy to wear, hand wash and quickly use again.... I have TB's & Hilo Hattie's.....I don't wear often, but understand why others do.... I'll wear before SongKran + if running an errand I'll put one on open jacket style over Whatever T shirt I have on, rather than just a "T" shirt......

In the UK? Or, stateside?

Why were Bob Seger's lyrics, at times, so...downright raunchy? Did they embarrass your GF?
Somewhere Tonight is a great *life* song.....

Minivan Crashes into Elephant, Injuring Two; Elephant Later Found Dead
I don't have to imagine....I lived in the Sierras.....Sometimes 40 deer strikes at night....On highway 395 I hit 2 deer - with 2 different cars in one night - same trip.... #1 - just leaving hardly away from home = bam - deer strike # 1.... Went back & grabbed another car....About 10 hours down the road and BAM - #2 deer jumped from a culvert right into the front of car #2..... A Jeep with 3 hunters stopped & put the deer out of it's misery....All I had was a pocket knife..... I told the m what happened with 2 cars & 2 deer same trip.... One hunter piped up "hey, can we ride with you - we've been here a week & haven't seen a deer yet"...... Black bulls/cattle & open range also took tolls....Bad thing there was it would level, take the roof right off a vehicle once it's legs were knocked from under it .... Yep - I know about that....

Minivan Crashes into Elephant, Injuring Two; Elephant Later Found Dead
Gray road, gray elephant, & the darkness of night.... I Read about two elephant strikes at night a couple of years back it's convinced me to day drive now when we travel....

Roaming dog pack
Yes, I do....I rescued a dog that a team of 3 men were sent to dispatch....The dog luckily took refuge under my car as they and a policeman were trying to capture..... I picked up the dog & refused their demands for it as curious neighbors watched..... It was a direct confrontation & they were not sure what to do....They backed down & left.... I found a neighbor that would take him in and. "Jack" now had an owner..... His crime? He bit a boy in a bicycle.....The back story is 4-6 boys just got bicycles and would chase down the dogs & run them down with their front wheels while the dogs were trying to escape = the dog bit in self defense.... Jack is the kind of dog that rolled over for belly rubs every time he'd great someone he trusted.... My Bankeau is also a street rescue..... Somebody knife slashed his rear leg about 11" worth, taking many stitches..... It was told to me that the killers get a dog - tape his mouth shut and their legs together & toss them in a garbage truck.....They claim whatever the bounty is..... These guys had netting & were intent on taking Jack.... They obviously were not used to having a Farang stand up to them..... Jack & Rusty are happy domestic dogs now.... Save your toxicity for someone else....

Roaming dog pack
The practice I'm our Mubaan is a dog must have an owner.... Ostensibly to have someone to take responsibility.... If they don't, the dog killers can & will be called out if the dogs do/cause harm/menace to people or property....You might want to contact the village head & demand the dogs' removal.... Possibly sue the owners, if any...... In the Thai view, whoever feeds them, owns them.....

Best cookware -
Robinsons at airport plaza has a big selection of name brand cookware.... Some Rim Ping branches have quality cookware....It seems to depend on store size on how much they offer.... I went to the Yok in Hang Dong thinking they would have everything kitchen = waste of time..... It's possible they might not be officially "open" yet..... Makro's mostly geared for vendors needs & not top tier stuff......

Anywhere can hire hand trolly or sling for moving fridge
There's a equipment rental place out off the Super Highway.... There has to be some rental shops around..... Google shows many.....

Am I expecting to much..
Yeah - I thought I was getting my wife a treat at a fuel stop Amazon coffee....I ended up the same as you did.... I don't drink coffee, so I was not sure what to order.....That was years ago..... I've never gone in an Amazon again.....

Did you see something fun/interesting within your range of daily life, lately?
Yeah - my Daughter showed me a Mom & Pop store within walking distance that stocks an amazing array of stuff..... I'd never paid attention to it before.... Not earth shaking, but handy....

If you were dead tomorrow..
- To all you Trump fans - Do you wear your MAGA hats with pride in Thailand?
No - don't like baseball caps, although I had to wear them quite a lot.....- If you were dead tomorrow..
Hopefully my wife & daughters would be short term devastated.....My dog would wonder where I was, we spend hours together walking.....Two other dog owners - we frequently walk & chat..... 1 cat in particular that I spend time with daily (out of 11).....My gym/library/quiet space is also "Smokey's" room..... My daughters in the states would have quiet moments....Until they started fighting over the RV and 4Runner I have in storage..... Many in the Mubaan chat with me & high 5 regularly while they're out walking..... That's about it..... Hopefully I've left them with a positive influence & outlook....- Thai Aiways A380 taking off from a grass field
Amazing compared to the hand wire guided prop airplane of my youth.... I did have a neighbor that had a jet powered wire guided one that took a bicycle tire pump to start.....- Can flying cars ever take off, would you want to own one
No thanks, imagine the fall out - literally..... Picture 10's of 1,000's of unskilled people caught up in commute swarms.....- Small electrical appliance repairs?
Also at the Hang Dong Big C....Bottom floor, corner store by a massage place & small phone vendors.....- In your youth, were you a sigma boy?
It reminds me of the shouldered/hand carried boom boxes of back in the day.... I never liked somebody bullying other people's space with noise..... Childishly thuggish.....- What are the main requirements to be a keyboard warrior?
It disconnects people from people skills..... Including the formative/family years where interpersonal skills should be taught and honed....- I'm in such a good mood today.
So, E - where have you been hiding? We were at your place last Christmas for the tree lighting ceremony - didn't see ya there....- Do you remember your first car?
Yep, only blue.... It had the engine crank handle & separate spare tire compartment under the trunk = unique.... - To all you Trump fans - Do you wear your MAGA hats with pride in Thailand?
