Singapore Daisy. You see it around many ponds. Easy to manage. Grows fast, nice yellow flowers. I have it in many places on my land.

Singapore Daisy is listed as one of the top 100 most invasive alien species globally.

Foxtrot is active in Norway now.

" ...Norwegian police have confirmed that not only is the criminal network Foxtrot active in Norway, it’s also probably behind a kidnapping in Trondheim earlier this year. ..."

I normally don't notice the smell of fish sauce but the fermented shrimp paste (kapi) has a strong smell.

I'm sure there's a Yiddish word for that.

How is that "his own" hospital?

The Shinawatra family are major shareholders in Praram 9 Hospital.

Firefox works for me.  I was on Windows 7, now 10.

I was there 62 years, and know full well the advantages people take on retailers. happens worldwide also. Wal Mart used to do it all the time, but recently started taking not only the ID, but give a reduction of the posted price, just for this reason. The worse times get, the more this will happen. I worked for Home Depot, and people used to put things on carts and just walk out, and you couldn't stop them outside the store. Only call police and give them the tag numbers.

Last week as I was checking out at a Lowe's home improvement store (like Home Depot), a fellow with a shopping cart was about to exit.   He had an empty cart with a big backpack on the lower shelf. Another guy came in from outside and confronted him.  The cashier and I watched as he emptied the contents of the backpack into the cart.  It was a whole bunch of DeWalt cordless tools, like drills and impact drivers.  Hundreds of dollars worth.  I think the store guy just chased him off.

 ... Now, Chinese restaurants ...........................................    

My wife worked at a Chinese restaurant in the U.S. awhile back.  When the restaurant changed hands, the new owner had to tear up the kitchen and replace most everything.

 ... In fact, this vehicle is using the potential energy of each payload, which is then converted into thermal energy from friction at the brake pads, and then converts this thermal energy to electric current, which is then stored in large on-board batteries. ...

 

Regenerative braking does not convert thermal energy into electricity.

Whilst driving a vehicle with a regenerative braking system, the electric motor draws power from the battery to turn the wheels, creating the kinetic energy it needs to move. When the brakes are applied however, the process switches into reverse mode. Now the kinetic energy that was initially used to propel the vehicle, makes the wheels rotate the electric motor, turning it into a type of generator. Instead of consuming electricity, the motor/generator starts producing it, using the vehicle’s kinetic energy. The electrical energy is then stored in a high voltage battery, where it is used again to help propel the vehicle. Since regenerative braking converts the vehicle’s kinetic energy into electricity, it is also able to slow it too, in the same way hydraulics brake do with friction.

I spent about 6 weeks in Mueang  Loei last fall.  That was better than the 2 years I lived there in 1977-79.

I've been trying to find the American style electric fry pan here. Can't even find a good one on Lazada... Plenty on Amazon, though. 

 

 

Is UBUY legitimate?

I'd get an electric skillet with a removable pan.  Something 12" x 16" might allow you to make a huge omelette that could be cut into  a dozen pieces or so.  Or just use a hotplate and a couple pans ... cook, cool, cut.

Stopped in February.

I was in the hospital for several days in mid-April.  Haven't smoked or had a beer since.  I do miss the smoking at times.

Years back when my brother was very young, he had a bad accident at a motocross track and severely broke his leg and lost a kneecap.  His broken leg ended up being nearly 2 inches shorter as he grew.

Chiangkhan River Mountain Resort

My wife's childhood friend & her husband own that hotel in Chiang Khan.  I believe that they also own the Loei Village Hotel in Amphur Muang Loei, about 300 meters from the hospital.

I lived in Loei for two years back in 1977-79.  It's still rather boring.   They recently put new stairs, walkways and viewing platforms at Phu Bo Bit (just across the river) .  It's worth the climb, especially if you  do it at sunrise or sunset.

It  wasn't Everest but I did climb the highest mountain in Florida and boy was I winded .

Try Mount Sunflower, the highest point in Kansas.  The elevation is 1,225 meters.  The mountain itself is somewhere between 6 and 9 meters tall.

Years back my Mom-in-law had very strong vinegar in a small glass bottle.  She called it hua nam som (head of the vinegar?).  She cautioned us to dilute it for food use.
