  1. Completely unaware of her surroundings..... My head and eyes are on a swivel around traffic & entertaining/exiting a vehicle.... Lucky lady....
  2. 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......
  3. Clench a tea bag over the wound....Cuts the recovery time to less than half....
  4. 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....
  5. 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....
  6. 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....
  7. 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.....
  8. LL still legible (looks like they bumped together) Regards, not Worgeordie
  9. 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......
  10. There's a equipment rental place out off the Super Highway.... There has to be some rental shops around..... Google shows many.....
  11. 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.....
  12. 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....
  13. No - don't like baseball caps, although I had to wear them quite a lot.....
  14. 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....
  15. 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.....
  16. No thanks, imagine the fall out - literally..... Picture 10's of 1,000's of unskilled people caught up in commute swarms.....
  17. Also at the Hang Dong Big C....Bottom floor, corner store by a massage place & small phone vendors.....
  18. 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.....
  19. It disconnects people from people skills..... Including the formative/family years where interpersonal skills should be taught and honed....
  20. So, E - where have you been hiding? We were at your place last Christmas for the tree lighting ceremony - didn't see ya there....
  21. Yep, only blue.... It had the engine crank handle & separate spare tire compartment under the trunk = unique....
