  1. I am glad that I do not have shares in Ocean Gate company. This mini sub did not get certified

    and should not have been allowed to have any passengers. The carbon fiber main section would

    likely been a sticking point for certification. Most subs and mini subs are steel or titanium structures

    to keep intact. The CEO risked not only his life, but 4 other people made the fatal decision to 

    pay a lot of money to get into this sub and go so far below the surface of the ocean. 

      RIP to them all.

  2. Well at least 4 of the 5 on board were very rich people. Either it got caught up on something, or had

    a pressure failure, it should have been able to re surface. The news I heard on TV said the ballast could 

    be jettisoned to let the vehicle resurface. I guess we will know more in the next few days as the news media

    get more pictures of this submersible and how it operates. It does look like there would be a pilot on board

    to operate the vessel. The big worry is that it got snagged, or had a mechanical failure.

  3. BKK has bad enough pollutions some days that a mask is a good thing to wear.

     In parts of Canada and the USA there are forest fires which send lots of smoke and 

    small particles all over, another good reason to wear a mask. However like most places in

    the world there are people who will not wear a mask, so be it. If you want to enjoy Thailand

    with its pollution just do it, your choice.

  4. Since I have been in my 70s I have slowed down my drinking. I do not drink hard liqeur except on a special

    occasion. I drink less beer, and hardly drink wine at all. I guess I am entering the Golden years, as other things seem to cost more of my gold.

      Thailand has a lot of tourists most times of the year and it has always affected their visits. Most travelers like to have a few drinks

    as the do not have to be sober the next day, due to their work. It would be good news to see a more liberal situation exist.

  5. There is one day for Mothers day, One day for Fathers day, one day for Veteran  day, one day for Queen

    Victoria day. July 1st for Canada day, July 4th for America's day, one day for Christmas and one day for New Years day,                                                      so why does the Pride community get a whole month?

      Why not Pride day? Just asking.
