owl sees all

Bang on the money. That's why I have so many hats. Also her shop sells reishi strips. But I like reishi wine anyway. A few years ago I was accused of having sex in the middle of a sugar field. Anyone who has been in a sugar field would laugh at that. Anyone but Mrs Owl that is. Gave me hell for weeks. She was probably upset about someone else and got angry on me. Funny enough, the sugar field is now our best euca farm.

Not yet HP. But I have a plan. Have to go to Udon soon. If I'm to go on my own, which is likely, I can detour past Ban Dung, and visit her shop. Not really a detour. More like in the wrong direction. She has lovely ears. Made to look even nicer, by her mask pulling them forward.

The female sex organ had been overlooked. researchers said. "There was a combination of female genitalia being taboo and scientists not being able to find it," said Megan Folwell, a doctoral candidate and lead researcher. Research published Wednesday, provided the first proper anatomical descriptions of female snake genitalia.

Owl Log - 18-12-2022 - Sunday afternoon Mildred off school for three days last week. That gave her some time for her artwork. She had been painting miniatures. These are only 'post card' in size. This one is a portrait of her friend at school. One of the farm avoes has kicked the bucket. Right from the start it was poorly. Never recovered from transplant shock. Usually it's broken roots that do the damage. The other one is doing OK though. I'm gonna replace the dead one just as soon as this cold spell is over. Dogs everywhere at the farm. At our farm we are visited by Curly Wurly, Happy and new pup Milo. Happy looks on as Milo gets the attention. And across the road opposite us. Spotted a wagon full of hay in Ban Dung. Mildred's bus driver's wife, is up to something. She is planting something special in those rings. Don't want no chickens or dogs in there spoiling whatever she is ganna grow. Watch those fingers dear. Has she never heard of cable ties? And Mr useless, the wife's brother - whose wife kicked him out - put up a fence at his mums. Nice job! Animals rule here. Chickens, dogs and cows have right of way. The light in the bathroom stopped working and I put up an emergency. The Mrs likes it. So it could be there to stay. Brightens up the kitchen too. The younger children in the village have been having a real bouncy time all week. 201595983_vidtrampoline.mp4 Me and Mildred went to the duck farm on Thursday. This is the farm that had the disaster with cassava last season. Planted sugar last month and it is showing through. Went to Ban Dung yesterday. Weekly shop. Good to see the old cat food back on the shelves. The moggies didn't like Big C's new range of flavours. Last week I bought half-a-dozen 'tuna with chicken'. They wouldn't eat it. Bought 12 of the old ones yesterday; 'sardine with shrimp' and 'sea food platter'. Well, really it was only ten cause of buy five get one free. That brought the price down to under 33 baht a tin. Not too bad that. Footy round up. The Owls dropped another point; at home this time. But not too damaging as rivals Ipswich got beat. Orient go seven clear. World cup finishes this w/e, but no EPL for another 8 days. Although there is a League cup game in the week between Pool and City. I'm impressed with the support that Division one are getting. 22k at Wednesday, 20k at Bolton and a whopping 24k at Derby. It's cold, everyone is too poor to eat and heat, but they are getting out to support their team. Great!!! Been watching the swimming from Melbourne all this week. Last day today. Biggest disappointment for me was David Popovici. Blew out in the 100 free and finished last in a 400 free heat. But to see Jordan Crooks, from the Cayman Islands, winning the 50 free was uplifting. Five swimmers represented Thailand. Not a sport that Thailand excels in. Although well short of the medals - or even finals - a few national records were set. Guys. Ratthawit Thammanantachot - 800 free 7.55.24 Navaphat Wongcharoen - 200 fly 1.56.37 Dulywat Kaewsriyong - 100 IM 54.81 and 200 IM 1.59.85 Gals. Jenjira Srisaard - 50 free 24.69 and 50 breast 30.48 and 50 fly 25.78 Very well done swimmers. Commentators struggled a little with the names. China having a terrible time. Is it because they are all wearing masks right up until they are about to dive in? Davis Weiss was a guest on the Richie Allen Show on Wednesday last. He has proof/evidence that the earth is flat. Well, the top bit where we all live anyway. Not so sure about the underside is David. Very interesting! A funny thing in the week. When Mildred was off school for a couple of months during the Covid spell. in 2021, we were doing a bit of maths every day. She must have remembered a method I showed her about measuring circles. At school they just started doing areas and the teacher asked if anyone had done areas of circles before. Mildred put up her hand and the teacher asked her if she had learnt it at her old school. She said "no", and explained that her dad (me) had said you only needed pebbles, or marbles, to find the area. When pressed further she said she couldn't remember. Evidently the teacher was baffled but appeared quite interested. When Mildred came home, she asked me to explain again; which I did. No lessons since due to not going to school on Thursday and Friday. Will be interesting if the circle theme comes up again next week. I've drawn out a 'proof' on a sheet of paper and she has it in her satchel. Was quite cold last week; and today also. One morning just 8C. Not a drop of rain. even though the forecast was for a shower or two over the week end. I've taken to wearing socks in bed. One claret and t'other light blue. My left eye is much improved. A bit irritating, and it's a job to keep self control and not rub it. But on the mend. Mrs Owl wants to cut the grass around the farm. Usually costs me between 4 and 5k baht. I'm not disagreeing with her, but after lending her sister Pook 20k, I'm just a bit short of readies this month. World focus. Same old stuff. War and fighting. In UK Labour easily win the by-election in Trafford (Greater Manchester). An MP asks about the MRNA Vaxes in Parliament. Europe shivering; especially in Ukraine. Muskie coming under fire in the US. Florida's DeSantis wants the US authorities to come clean about C-19 data. And it appears he is more popular than The Don, in Repub' circles. Didn't get anything done in the week as planned: again. No stone on the road. No trip to Udon. Next year now I reckon. Did a nut cut last week, Price has dropped to 4-80 baht a kilo. Bit of a difference to 10+ baht a couple of months back. Seez ya all on Xmas day. Only one thing left to say; bye y'all.

Can't agree there. The Imperial College forecasting was enormously influential in England's early response. Should add that c-19 was originally given the grade of mild flu status at the beginning of March 2020. There was also the insistence that even if someone was run over and killed, it was still put down as a c-19 death, If that person had tested positive in the previous 28 days. As I say poor data in, rubbish projection out.

In the earlier days of computing, everyone was familiar with the term; 'garbage in garbage out'. Mathematical modelling is only of use when the input data is accurate. A few extra here, or miss a few there, gives wildly inaccurate results. Only have to look at the nonsense being spouted by the Imperial College, in the early days of c-19, to see that.

Interesting topic. What some older men do is cut their shorts and wear them as a kilt. Saves a lot of bother when putting them on, and going to the loo. The problem I have with proper kilts, is the actual colours and patterns. Someone could easily be offended by seeing a 'rival's' colours. Sort of waring clans of old, or footy teams. Or even religious reasons. Look at the uproar, a while back, when a politician said that the Pope wore red socks . Some people get offended by colours and symbolism. Have to be careful out there. When some people are fuelled up with Lao Khow anything can happen.

If some people die, there is usually a first one. Glad I'm not near the village.

I take it that you think vaxxes work!!

There is more to this. There is a history of 'revolving doors'. Out of Big Pharma and into government positions. And vise versa. Big tech, and big weapons, and big food are just the same.

Best not to employ women. Keep them looking after babies and grafting in the kitchen where they belong.

I see the frog. Took me 23.69 seconds to spot it. In between the white and brown stones.

"Now Paddy. Answer this one, and the £1m jackpot is yours." "Which of these birds does not live in a nest?" A) Thrush, B) Kestrel, C) Blue Tit, D) Cuckoo." "That's a tough one. I don't know." "You have one life-line left. Would you like to phone a friend?" "Yes. I'd like to call Murphy," Murphy is phoned and is told the question and possible answers. "It's D, a cuckoo." Murphy says immediately and with great conviction. "I'll go with that. It's D Cuckoo." "You had half-a-million, and now you have 1 million." The next day, Paddy went round to see Murphy. "Murphy, how did you know that cuckoos don't live in a nest?" "That's the easiest question Paddy. Everyone knows cuckoos live in clocks!"

About 60 kms north east of Udon Thani. Very rural and dry a a bone.

Can't say that this is what I see. I'm in a very rural area, and the amount of rice that was harvested this year by machine is possibly 5% at most. Much of the yearly wage, for many people, comes from their neighbours, and those neighbours themselves rely of their neighbour's employment. It's a merry-go-round. The daily rate has more than doubled in the last 10 years; having gradually crept up from 150 baht a day to 350 baht a day (present rate). If the daily rate goes up to 600 baht, then the money has to come from somewhere. And that 'somewhere' is the unit cost of what is being harvested; be it rice, sugar, cassava etc. Then the money comes back when the commodity is sold. Generally, the rice is sold, all bar that which is required for the family table for the rest of the year.

Thanks for that Rick. I'll be popping along there no doubt. There was another place that I don't know what happened to. The Bookhouse. I would play chess there on a Saturday. That was many moons ago though. Mildred was just a tiddler then.

Sex with a lady who is refereed to - or later refereed to - as a person of 'feeble mind' was a crime. The evidence is below Lou. The original Irish Act of 1871 (forced upon them by the English). The 1935 Criminal Law Amendment Act. The 1993 Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act. Section 5 of this act refers to sex with a person of feeble mind, or that person having sex with another. I hope that it's clear now Lou.

Shame you are not interested Lou. I've provided you with evidence, and three actual Acts that you can go to for info'. The original Irish Act of 1871 (forced upon them by the English I should add). The 1935 Criminal Law Amendment Act. And the 1993 Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act. Section 5 of this act refers to sex with a person of feeble mind, or that person having sex with another. It is shame on the Irish authorities of old - and not so old - that allowed the abuse of females in this way, referred to them as having a feeble mind. This was the umbrella term for names like idiots, lunatics, retards, imbeciles, spastics, mongoloid etc. Once the girl had been labelled thus, it was easy to lock them away, and in many instances take away their babies. In the vast majority of cases these girls were just normal girls from poor families who had been abused.

Unless I'm mistaken it is, even now, illegal to have sex with a lady of 'feeble mind', and for the lady to have sex. Of course guys can be of feeble mind also. But the original Irish Act of 1871 was primarily aimed at females. Have a look at the 1871 Act Lou. Not an easy read, but seeing as you are interested, then go to it. There are amendments planned, at the present, to repeal aspects of 'Sexual Offences and Capacity To Consent.' I can keep you informed of any developments Lou.

Just normal sex Lou. In days past, if a churchman told the police that a young girl was having sex, they would probably arrest her. At court, if a churchman, or a doctor, said that the girl was of 'feeble mind', she would be sent to an institution., Some girls sentenced in their teens were held in these 'houses of sexual correction' until they were in their 40s. What constituted feeble mind, in days past, was a moot point. If a clergyman was rejected by a young girl, there was often revenge. And the simple threat of the law was enough to make many girls comply. This alone has been put forward as a significant reason why so many Irish girls had babies out of wed-lock. The sex law came into effect in 1871. It was amended in 1935, and again in 1993. However the 'feeble minded' law is still in effect. It should be noted that the catholic church once had great sway in Ireland. It still does; but to a lesser extent now. Now courts are more likely to absorb the 'evidence' of a psychiatrist than a clergyman. However, if a girl is thought to be having sex, and is judged to be of 'feeble mind' she can still be sentenced to be institutionalised.

Ladies were being locked up in homes for having sex. Thousands of them.

It's old but still worth a life. Many different versions. There was a new catholic lass at St Plods, who thought babies came from the almighty. But it wasn't Jesus's dad who took off her nightie, It was bell-ringer Roger; the sod.

The shepherds washed their socks at night All seated round a tub, A bar of 'Sunlight soap' shone down, And they began to scrub.

Ah yes!! It wasn't so long ago that sex was illegal in Ireland, unless you were intending to make a baby that is. Things have moved on just a little in that country. But back to Thailand; Pattaya particularly. Next time keep the windows shut and give that lady some somtam to eat while she's working.

Thanks for that Hank. My phone is just a text and call one. Steer clear of anything 'smart' due to the control and tracking. I have a nice stash of golden stuff. Always looking for offers on the www. Buy one; get one free. That sort of thing. There was also a special from west Africa a while back. One kilo of pure gold at half price. Delivery free too. And also from OZ; gold dust. This guy was getting gold from old computers. That was also cheap.
