Harris Surges Past Trump In Election Betting Markets After First Presidential Debate
Trump is used to having women fawn on him. He's also a racist, who thinks he is smarter than anyone in the room. He knows how to punch all the buttons of his followers. Getting his own buttons punched by a woman of color, who was clearly smarter than him, was a new experience. No wonder he scowled all the way through the debate. -

Harris Surges Past Trump In Election Betting Markets After First Presidential Debate
That's the difference between die hard Trump fans in here and most of the rest of us. We have no problem admitting that Biden lost badly in his debate; meanwhile, most Trump fans cannot admit Harris won (handily), or they try to make silly excuses, like the 3 against 1 argument.- 1

Russian Neo-Nazi Group Joins Forces with FSB to Secure Finland Border
I should imagine that mincing around the Russian side of the border with Finland is significantly less dangerous than deploying to Donbass as a "volunteer battalion". Mind you, probably not a good idea to upset the Finns, they can get quite "kinetic"! -

Harsher Penalties for "Drunk Driving and Repeat Offenders" Demanded
i often hear suggestions for better education and training to address DUI issues. for example, finland has an excellent education system, but without strict enforcement of laws by the police, many finns would do as they please and don't care. (finns like to drink ...) my conclusion for thailand is that better education won't help (it's already being done with many training videos); the only effective solution is the strict enforcement of the laws with harsh penalties ! which won't happen, as we all know ... -

Patong - The Wake
Nothing much to write about as I have only been out a couple of times in the evenings over the past months, but have managed to get out and about a little during the day. I mentioned the poor state of the roads roads in a previous post and that certainly hasn't changed and because my coccyx is still sore/hurting, I feel every bump and pothole, despite trying to steer around them. The roads are a disgrace, and some workmen have been around plonking tarmac in some of the holes, and the one in Soi Banzaan has had some more tarmac dumped in it, but because the ground has given way under the concrete road, it still keeps falling and no matter how much they put in, it still remains a hole of some description or another! Jumping around the place, the bar at the top of that road, "Blue Sky Bar" actually in Soi Nanai, seems to have opened over the past few days because there have been a couple of girls sitting in it – – no customers, just a couple of serving girls, and it won't be long before that closes again much the same as its previous incarnations have done. One would think that the people opening the bar and paying the rent would realise that it has been a failure ever since it began, and wonder why that was?? Not hard to ascertain, however I won't go into it here. Further down Banzaan, in what used to be a bar/part-time guesthouse called "Canada House" and has been remodelled into a bar, which incidentally I have only ever seen one customer in, is for sale (again). Apparently the owner has it for sale on Facebook for around 3 million baht!! It appears that price is negotiable folks if you want to rush in and make an offer – – yeah right! I haven't seen any punters going in or coming out of the Monster Billiards establishment in Banzaan, but maybe I've missed them, and in reality it's absolutely packed out, day and night? Was nearly involved in a little prang a few days back when a Toyota taxi in front of me had to screech to a halt to avoid hitting a couple of Chinese people who had decided to wander into the road without looking, as they are apt to do, but luckily enough I was following far enough behind to be able to stop before hitting the back of the taxi, but it was a close thing. The lady owner of a massage shop was bemoaning the fact that customers are in short supply and that those that do stop to enquire are usually of Arabic or Indian nature and want to beat the price down, and she refuses to do that. Wandering a little bit away from Patong, I have discovered some wonderful frozen Indian food at "Food for Foreigners" in Chalong, and it is amongst the best I've ever tasted whether frozen or otherwise, so my freezer is now stocked up with it. Coming up for the retirement extension next month, so had better remember to get into Bangkok Bank EARLY to order the account print-out so that they can prove I've had the 800 K in there for the year, because they can take well over a week to 10 days to be able to produce it for me to pick up, and the time before last there was a delay and when I went to immigration I was charged 1500 baht overstay for the three days that the account information was delayed.
