The train has left the station. There is absolutely no stopping it. All the talk is going on while trying to figure out the best money making scheme. The only difference for me is now I don't have to idle away at the bar till the nice lady delivers me a bag of brick. Now I get to choose from the jars. But not much different before the legalization.

Laddie, you're losing your edge.

When I visit Calif yearly we don't eat in Thai restaurants because for some reason they're very pricey. On the road we would pick Japanese or Vietnamese joints for meals, I was watching utube and Dominican Republic seems like a place to check out.

That is my way of thinking. We drove in a very large housing development area with nice wide road and minimum traffic, not on a regular busy road. It has alot of slow curves and speed bumps. Just learning braking and steering. It's too bad they don't have the learning permit in Thailand for 15 yr olds.

The laws in Thailand? Are you serious? Nothing wrong with a bit of fun.

Sure Bob, wink wink

3 a year don't make you queer, right Bob?

But, did she smile?

Hey Bob, Mrs Smith says you won't mind if she goes to the AN party with me.

I'm sure the Aussie is feverishly strategizing an awesome comeback that reflects his superiority.

Thailand know to keep their trap shut, mind their own business and just process the transaction, for better or for worse. As it should be.

Did you pop over to Jak's for a beer. For a 5 star they've got the new Eastin Resort a bit east of there.

Resembles Phala Beach

That's Merica right there.

Well, guess the minesweepers in Bahrain will be called out. Humor me and tell me your sea stories of passing through the Strait of Hormuz,

They can do alot of things to disrupt. The use of remote control speedboats laden with explosives has long been a security issue in the Gulf.

You're right, it's Oman or so the map shows.

The outbound and inbound lanes of HS belongs to UAE. Iran's territorial waters are just north of the inbound lane. How can the Iranians just close the Strait?

I was driving our farm truck on the road at age 14 in Calif, solo. Used it to get to my part time job when weather was bad and didn't want to ride MC. I think it's good for the kid to shake off the nervousness and be comfortable driving. My kid was up for the task, first had to break the habit of using both feet in an auto car. Myself at land office renewing my license and at the reaction test, I was surprised at the number of adults using left foot for brake.

Please entertain us with your tales of woe from a 7-11.

Closing the Strait of Hormuz will never happen with 2 carrier groups in the region.

I did start the kid on private land in the US. In my view it's more irresponsible to let a kid get a license and turn them loose on the road with no experience.

At what age do you tell the kid to get behind the wheel and drive around? Yesterday while cruising around exploring neighborhoods I pulled over and the 13 yr old got behind the wheel. Big road in an affluent multi village area, not many cars, lots of speed bumps. While in the US the kid has already started driving there down country roads. Next will be manual transmission training. Being competent driving a stick shift is a valuable life lesson.

You're correct in some elite gov schools for secondary students. My kid spends countless hours on stupid art projects for science and health.
