So... Too expensive, as a result of this long chain of needless people. This is what happened to Japan. Too many in the loop. Prices SKY HIGH! We need Amazon here, PDQ!!! I also do not care about coffee-bean growers. Does that make me a leftist?

Fine, but this is one utterance that I shall never utter. I guess you know that I hate Apple. "Hey, Siri....GFY-S, is more like it...." Not just a little....either. I have a deep-seated hatred for all Authoritarian Systems....like Apple. (Otherwise,....very nice post!)

Yes.... Beech Trees....

So then... Pricing for bedding is artificially inflated here? Where do the profits go....anyway..... To the workers?

Nice Ride !!!

Would 3BB give me a discount if I used my own router? And, would they service it? Probably not. Best way to go: Ethernet Forget the WIFI...IMHO... Why do I need WIFI...anyway????

Definitely KEEPERS....

OK....

Thankfully this cat was not euthanized due to just his minor deformity....

Why not head up to Ellesmere Island? 'Tis the season for it, this month of August. Send us a few photos....

What? You prefer Canada to Chiang Mai? Surprised, to say the least.....

Where are you posting from, that you could have posted this link? Not Thailand, is my guess....

Nice.....

I was on an oil tanker in Sattahip in 1971. Quite beautiful, then. Truly pristine, at the time. I wish I could return to those days, over 50 years ago. We were extremely careful about discharging oil over the side, at that time. 50 years is a long time. The environment is now not nearly the same.

Stick with LEO Beer!!!!

I loved my time at that "small little town", Montreal, while at McGill. My time at McGill was probably one of the most memorable periods of my life. At the time, I had a cat, a black cat, which almost fell out the top floor of my dormitory. She was just barely holding on to the outside ledge by her puny claws. Fortunately, I saved her. She thought it no big deal. At that time in Montreal, guys would think almost nothing of pissing up against any wall on any given main-street in the city. And, some guys, would walk down the street copping a feel from girls with big mammaries. One female classmate of mine came back one afternoon, all in tears. She had been groped on the street, by some well-intentioned passerby. Those were the days, back in 1972. Montreal is probably not quite the same, these days, though.... That was a different age. Trump would have loved it in Montreal, back then, I guess.

No. I do not get followed by security. Just uni girls, mostly, in their tight black skirts and white blouses with the silver ornaments dangling from the pockets over their breast.

Welcome to the Twilight Zone.... I never thought I would live long enough to see something like this.

To be popular in the USA? Is this necessarily a GOOD THING?

Love that MOTOWN......

Jack is my hero. How did you know?

Dear Friends (not YOU!), No. This Topic is for my Finely Feathered Friends, the Thai Myna Birds that flock to me...naturally. Some say Mynah and some say Myna, but all birds of this type are my friends. When I first arrived in Thailand, I was unable to venture forth from my rooms. It was only the myna birds that kept me company for months, and months, while wheelchair-bound. Nobody in Thailand smiled at me, because, I guess, most people here, or anywhere, find it awkward to talk to someone in a wheelchair. So.... I have not forgotten my friends, these birds. And, they, in turn, have not forsaken me. They always come back to stay with me, when they will. Why do I so much love mynah birds? Here is a nice video, one which speaks to their vocalizations, vocalizations, many of which, I have come to know the meanings of, no matter what they say to each other: You might be surprised just how upset they become when they spy a brown snake, or a green snake, and they know the difference. Also, it is the myna bird that is the animal most intelligent of all the animals I have come to know in Thailand. Thailand is such a special place. And it is the myna bird that makes Thailand so special. Taiwan has no myna birds, of course. Not sure, but I just wonder if the Taiwanese ate the last of them, many years ago. What I would really like is to have a few myna birds in large cages placed out on my porch/veranda....but.... I would never do this because.... All mynas should be free to roam, and come and go, as they like. Truly, it is the Thai myna bird which has contributed so much to my enjoyment of Thailand, during these recent many years. Also, I like the cats owned by my neighbors, the ones that come and lie around, lying flat, for a few hours of an afternoon. I look forward to next year's HOT SEASON, when the mynas will be more active, and the cats more lethargic in their heat-induced lethargy. Cats and Birds, I love them both. Just how much communication, and at what level, occurs between the local birds around here....I can say....a LOT. What is your favorite bird in Thailand....anyway? The thing I like best is to see myna birds HOP. They never walk. Best regards, Gamma Note: Regarding the Physiology of the Bird Brain.....some members here might know more about this than others. But, my question is....How can the Thai Myna Bird be so smart when their brain looks something like this woodpecker brain? Unfortunately, I have been unable, so far, to find a CT scan of a Thai myna bird. Perhaps I will be able to have one scanned, if I pay a few baht, next time I am at the local hospital.

Yes. I will choose this type. Also, does this not also provide shielding?

You seem to have a cat helper. I love cats. Always have... Always will. There is this one black cat that comes by, quite often, to sleep in my garden. This is the thing I have to look forward to, during the week. Cats and Myna birds are amazing. I love them both. But, they often do not go well together. Note: Is this cat not missing part of it's tail? Or, is this just a problem with the image you have uploaded here?
