Songkran is easy to avoid countrywide, just don't go to the celebratory areas. 2028 starts on a Monday, so simply avoid areas the Sat/Sun before, and a day or so after.

That's a little too much info about your interest 😎

I'll take them cheating the govt vs putting customer's safety at risk

to the title ... ... Yes, and I had a lot of female friends, definitely more than male friends. Some friends with bennies, some not, and even the ones with bennies, didn't mean we had sex every time we hung out. One lesbian friend, use to hang out with, when her partner was out of town on business. Just friends from childhood, and gave her good cover about her alternative lifestyle, as not accepted back then. Most men would F'up a female friendly relationship, by making constant passes. Miss out on special relationship by not taking no for an answer. Be surprised what good female friends confide in you about male friends you thought you knew, when they trust you. Some real Aholes out there. Why I distance myself from most males, and never looking for or wanting male friends.

We'll be happy to protect your ships .... will you pay for it ? Oh yea, and payment in advance, as we've learned what you say you'll pay, usually doesn't happen. Your credit rating sucks. This is before they fire one shot ... Read the bottom paragraph, as not all inclusive cost ... This is why I stopped producing (taxable) income & PAYING TAXES. My money no longer supports this silliness. 24 or last 25 yrs, I paid NO TAXES 😎

Simply put some Apaches or Tigers on a few of those freighters, and they can leap frog to the next few as present freighter leaves the area. Keeping a constant few 'stationed' where needed. Deploy as needed, as pretty sure they could handle any threats to cargo ships in a timely manner. Or is too easy a damn solution.

Calling up the Yanks again ... try another AC, as we only bring the B2s out when we need 'em

Now, can't remember any thing released since 2000, at least, that comes close to thought provoking. Days of intellectual, question everything, social conscious forming music is long behind us. Sadly, they are timeless, and not a damn thing has changed. Last song I heard that gave one a pause for thought was from Jeff Beck, Guitar Shop, and 'Day in the House' track. A 1989 release More instrumental and pointing out the obvious ... 'Nothing is being done'

AN is about all the mental interaction I can deal with I get plenty of water & sleep. Treat the brain to some Creatine everyday, keep things sparking along. Reading and researching for O&A keeps my thinking.

Seems they are enforcing the new restriction in Bangkok. A work in progress 👍 Could explain the lack of eatables in CM, mentioned in earlier post. So maybe some minor enforcement there, or smart shop owners, avoiding the inevitable. Shame the shops weren't a bit more incognito in the past. Som nam naa https://www.nationthailand.com/tags/cannabis You'd think they'd all get on the same page. ... Sporadic enforcement now ... 30 - 60 days ... by year's end Only constant here is the inconsistency https://www.nationthailand.com/news/general/40052339 https://www.nationthailand.com/news/general/40052211

Meatball sandwich ... big surprise. Need to think of some new munching ideas. Mexican maybe, as haven't had in a while.

At least the known trouble spots, major shipping lanes. Maybe they should register the ships with the USA. USA registered ship are getting a pass, since Trump gave them a good spanking last month or so.

Where's the mighty UK & EU navy ? Engaged elsewhere in battle we haven't heard about, in dry dock for repairs. Partying in the Caribbean maybe. Leaving their merchant vessel to themselves. Pretty sad ... ... "An officer at Cosmoship Management, operator of the Eternity C, one of the vessels that was attacked, said he desperately tried to get assistance from the British navy and a European naval task force as the fight unfolded. He said he was told there were no ships in the area." ... Maybe their navy is patrolling the English Channel, keeping them pesky refugees / immigrants that EU let in out of the UK. Does the EU even have a navy ? All those taxes going to take care of the waves of immigrants allowed in maybe ? Who can afford a navy. You'd think all the billions made with the shipping industry, they'd have a private navy to secure passage through troubles waters, instead of relying on gov't navies for free security. Only a few sailors & ships, and don't effect the bottom line. That's what insurance is for

Third world as far as I'm concerned. There's people here that don't have chanotes for the land their houses are on or land they farm. People here that don't have electric or running water provided by the government / utility companies. That's 3rd world.

y'all do realize we're in a third world country and dogs are very low priority. As are the lowly folks who released the dogs into the streets. A bit of 'it's your problem, you deal with it".
