Should Motorbikes be allowed to drive on the sidewalk?
Yeah I know Soi 6, even if I've never spent much time there. I thought you were talking about Sukhumvit for some reason. Don't mind me. I'm jet lagged and travel weary. -

Anyone gotten caught up in the USPS fiasco. How did you handle it?
The address you provide on that form doesn't have to be in the US. Your address in Thailand should be ok, but confirm that with your agent. The lease shouldn't need your photo on it---just your name and current address in English. You also need your passport or other official US ID. -

So, how long you like to live.
< 80 is good enough for me. It seems many people lose their minds, more or less, when they are over 70. I don't know how they feel themselves about their state, but for others around them it is often bad. I don't want to be one in that category. And yes, I am aware that there are also many old people whose mind still works fine. -

So, how long you like to live.
I have many things I still want to do, a bucket list, that I couldn't accomplish as I was, and still am, raising children, so I'd like to go as long as possible. Genetics is part of longevity and my parents made it to 84 (mom) and 79 (dad), but dad smoked 3 packs a day for over 60 years so he probably shortened his time. My brother passed at 67 from a heart attack due to diabetes, so one never knows. You can only do your best to combat illnesses. Dementia isn't in our lineage, and it only affects about 33% of those over 80, so that shouldn't be a problem. I do what it suggests to combat dementia, but again, you never know. -

Fire Claims Lives of Family of Three in Nakhon Sawan
It's not only no fire alarms in a house that can be deadly. It must be an Asian thing to lock external doors with no key left nearby to open in an emergency such as a fire. The first time I stayed at my in-laws house in Manila I went upstairs to the bedroom and there was a locked steel grille door leading to a balcony. I also noted that the windows had steel bars on them so you could't get out. When I asked my wife where a key for the balcony door was she said her mother had it downstairs in her bedroom and when I sugested to her that would not be a good idea in case of a fire in the stairs and we can't get out she just gave me a blank look and said don't worry we'll be right.I sent her down to get the key and hung it on a nail inside the door for easy access. that key is still there today.
