    With the General in charge, it is a good time to buy and invest in bottled water. Thailand will need it.

     

    Other Ideas:

     

    1) All water craft on any river must only go in reverse

    2) Dump all left over water from your drinking bottles back into rivers, only

    3) When it rains do not impede the follow of water to rivers.

    4) Add your own silly idea for consideration by the General.

    5) Urinate directly into the river or pond. Oh wait, many already do. Never mind.

    I've never used a gps always relied on a paper map, always arrived at my destination. What's wrong with people nowadays?

    To each their own. 

    OMG. I remember those days of driver distraction by paper maps. My X, master navigator, used to get so upset because the street she was looking for was usually in the crevice between 2 pages. 

    Love this era of GPS !

  3. It's only been less than a week. "Stay the course, full steam ahead".

    Implementation was poorly administered but the concept is right.

    Everybody will find a "work-around" given a little time.

     

    Next! Figure out how to reduce packaging on new products from China. Blister-packaging probably contributes more to waste than shopping bags do. China don't care about the waste, but somebody has to.

  4. I agree with @david555.

    I once purchased a trained Doberman to guard a fenced in car lot. When the professional guard dog trainer arrived in a van with barred windows, all I saw was teeth behind the glass and bars.

    I said to the trainer, "how am I expected to handle this dog". He explained, "once I introduce you, she'll be a baby to you, but only to you".

    On that point he was right. Over the years, she did bite persons on two separate occasions who promptly reported the bite to the police. On both occasions, the police attended and cleared me as the trespassers ignored the warning signs.

    However! I eventually learned that certain people had a habit of taking meat to my dog and petting her (while business was closed). She readily took their food and sucked up the attention. So as noted by another poster, poison that meat and the guard dog is nullified.

    There are many suggestions in this thread. Many solutions offered. It may take a dog, lights, camera, loud horn ..... I'd pass on the king cobra and electrified bench and tools.

    Personally, I think the motion-detection-activated lights and a horn would do the trick.

    I, personally, don't think this idea of planned, controlled, sanitised, walking streets will take off; the real thing tends to be cheap, cheerful, organic (as in arising in an unstructured way), exciting, and chaotic, I'm thinking of the old Khao San, and other streets with a similar reputation.

    You're right. If somebody tried creating another Woodstock, it would probably fail.

    Woodstock was partially successful because of the spontaneous nature of it. Same same for bygone street events.

    I love that word. Like when my kid says to me, Gee Dad, you are kind of aromatic today, how about changing that swill stained singlet to start?

     

    Dude: Swill stained singlet? Heh? Heh? Did I just crush that or what? Crushed! Wheres @geronimo?

     

    I wasn't referring to the word "aromatic", but okay, that one too.

     

    My gal generally uses "fragrant".

    Its Arugula. Everything here is Arugula.

    Nyezhov has spoken. And after I did this little bit of research, I think he has first hand experience and knowledge, "Arugula’s aromatic, peppery flavor adds a wonderful dimension to a salad, to your health and maybe even your sex life".

  8. My parents raised me to fear reform school or, heaven forbid, jail.

    And my tough-guy uncle, prison guard career, used to brag about how he would man handle the inmates. Being shot with a high pressure water hose sounded pretty scary to me.

     

    With that said, it is totally beyond my comprehension why and how a person visits a foreign country and doesn't consider the consequences of their crimes.
