  1. If you see a couple touching while walking, then you are not looking at a Thai couple. Could be Chinese young people, or some very OLD Farang dude with his significant other from Pattaya.
  2. Hardly the wilds. Although, yes Kyoto is a place that some consider to be the cultural center of Japan, with a few good universities.
  3. Trump will manufacture in Mexico and other countries south of the border. This will help to limit illegal migration north of the border.
  4. For the USA? More like 25, if past trends continue into the future.
  5. Economic war IS real war. Economic war is the very best way to destroy a country. China is now trying to destroy the USA, with MUCH HELP from USA leaders, through economic warfare. And, it is real.
  6. Worth hatching. Such a beauty....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. Dear Folks, When truly in love, most people love to touch when they walk. In fact, when in love, how can any couple help from touching…. When they walk? Normally, you might wish to touch when you walk. However, in Thailand, touching while walking is not acceptable. We know why, of course. And so, the question is: Do you abide by local social norms? And, do you avoid touching when you walk? (Personally speaking….Yes. I do avoid touching when I walk. I try to fit in here, and I accept social norms.) Or, as the old song goes: Would you love to touch Roxanne when you walk? Assuming there actually WERE a Roxanne in Thailand? Maybe it is OK in some tourist areas to touch when walking. But, I think it might NOT be OK in other areas of Thailand. Sometimes, I feel like squeezing, pinching, even goosing,...and not just touching. But, I never do. Not even playfully. However… Do you? Best regards, Gamma Note: Roxanne will ALWAYS be my friend….forever.....
  8. By the way, concerning the challenges of gravity: How has gravity been affecting you, as you age. Do you think a parachute might help those saggy jowls of yours? Or, do you think those turkey-like jowls that you sport just might.... Turn-On the young things in Pattaya? Would you like to participate in a STUDY to investigate this question.... Further? And, what about your sagging belly, drooping down below your belt, and... Mostly due to gravity, of course. Do you think a parachute might help you overcome this challenge? Perhaps you need a Study financed by the Gov in Glasgow? Contact JILL, and find out if you might qualify..... Would you be willing?
  9. You mean..... EVEN better than my horse..... SILVER???? impossible.
  10. Yes. My partner is OTHER than a Thai person. And, NOBODY ever had a better partner.... I mean, a better partner than my partner.... TONTO......!!!!!!!
  11. I speak the local language whenever I choose to live in some place worth living.
  12. Right! IKEA will NEVER get my cash. I never shop there. Just not my style. I do not understand people that love IKEA.... But, live and let live, is my belief.....in life.... Mostly things fit for a Doll House, has always been my impression.
  13. Do you have an image to upload of the Hog Plumb Bird, then?
  14. GOD ...... GOD..... GOD....NO THANK YOU....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  15. I think this should be fairly obvious. Trump/Anyone should wish to bring manufacturing back to the USA...ASAP.... But, this is not to increase factory jobs in the USA for humans. We need to, once again, produce products we need, at home. We cannot and should not rely on China to produce what we need. How is this not easily understandable?
  16. Dear Folks, One of the pleasures of living in Northern Thailand is witnessing the varied species of exotic birds one can see and hear. I love birds. Always have. Sometimes, a bird will fall from its nest, and this is tragic. And, at other times, a bird’s egg will fall from the nest, but still remain intact. I just momentarily came across this SPECKLED bird’s egg, a photo of which I have posted here. Surprisingly, this egg is still in one piece after its fall. I discovered this SPECKLED egg earlier this evening. If only I had an incubator, I could keep this egg warm enough so that it might hatch. And then, it might be easier to identify which bird laid this egg. Since I have no incubator in my home, can someone please help me to identify it, just by way of their own expertise in the field of ornithology? Sometimes, the local cats will attack bird nests and eggs will drop to the ground. My guess is that this is what happened, THIS time… Also, I suggest that all cat owners attach bells to their cats so that birds will less easily fall prey to house cats. So then… What is your guess? Which species of bird laid this egg, would you imagine? Thanking you in advance…. Best regards, Gamma Note: When I was in school, many years ago, I most enjoyed our classes concerning biological reproduction. Maybe you did, too?
  17. That's a JOKE, right? Any tariffs about 10 percent are a NO-STARTER..... Totally MEANINGLESS..... 50-percent tariffs might as well be 500% tariffs. What a JOKE..... You ARE joking....RIGHT???? Do you think I will pay 65% tariff on STILTON CHEESE??? Think again, please.....
  18. If anyone here on TV were to read the NYT article which I linked, then they would see informed comments such as this one: But, does anyone on TV care? More importantly, does ANYONE in the USA....CARE???? i think most in the USA do NOT care. If they HAD cared, beginning in the early 80s, then we would NOT be in this.... PREDICAMENT..... Now. We now find ourselves in a very STICKY WICKET...... We will be dependent upon China...even for robotics to improve USA manufacturing. And.... Speaking of STICKY..... I cannot help but post this VERY STICKY TUNE...... And, you know why.....Folks..... When the wind blows..... And the rain feels cold..... And, which country has the BIG ONES? China? USA? China, IMHO, has bigger ones, these days. Top Gun, these days... Is just a Hollywood Movie...and... NOT REAL, these days.... So sollly to say....though....
  19. By the way... I should mention here: I am one of the VERY FEW on TV who never boasts. When I say that I am an expert on China, this is just what I mean, based solely on fact. And, in fact, boasting is absolutely anathema to my sensibilities.
  20. Yes. I did see that. So, the question is...which nation will be Number One in batteries? And, your guess is.....????
  21. Long-term strategic goals. This is the secret to China's steady and rapid progress, one which IS NOT SECRET...really....
