Best way to attract Thai Myna birds to my garden?
When I stayed at a resort on Koh chang they would go around the pool and pick the limes out of abandoned margarita glasses until they would get smashed, so get them some tequila.

Biden slams Trump for Capitol riot in 2024 campaign speech
There’s never been violence in the transfer of power, it’s a national disgrace. Trump killed five people. He belongs in jail.

Tell all about NYE in your neck of the woods !
I went to Nana Plaza, it was packed. Billboard and Butterflies had free food: pizza, chicken legs, and potato salad, but I think I’ll retire early. Happy New Year!

Dangers of driving here and being a pedestrian. I nearly got hit on a zebra crossing
A young doctor was killed at a Zebra crossing in Bangkok a few years ago, by an off-duty policeman on a big bike going 100 kpm. People were outraged and it looked like some action would finally be taken. There was talk about using ccv cameras to monitor crossings and send tickets to offenders. Motorists started slowing down at zebra crossings and there was a huge spike in rear-end collisions.

Baked pineapple is delicious. It’s used to flavor ham, and the not thrown away.

I just received my 13th retirement extension, never used an agent. Sometimes something comes up, not always. I deal with it. Why pay more than 1900? (Plus a few extra hundred for bank statements, because some people use agents to circumvent the rules).- What Are We Living For?

Trump ran twice and lost the popular vote both times. He’s already a two-time loser.- Glynn Simmons: US judge exonerates inmate after 48 years in prison
I recently saw a Netflix documentary about Ron Williamson, sentenced to death (also in Oklahoma) and came within five days of being executed, before eventually exonerated by DNA after 11 years on death row. I thought it shocking he was given the death penalty when the case against him was so weak. Good argument to abolish capital punishment. https://innocenceproject.org/cases/ron-williamson/- Opinion on Christmas music
I’m not religious but I like it. Reminds me of good times when I was a kid, and it’s pretty amazing you can walk into a store in Thailand and hear music about a guy that died over 2000 years ago. It’s mostly Santa and jingle bells of course, but I’ve heard Silent Night. ‘At home I’ll put on Mariah Carey and Bing Crosby, and the Jimi Hendrix version of Little Drummer Boy. - What is the origin of Thai's putting ketchup on pizza?
