Teens' Daring Escape From Custody: Search Underway
Picture courtesy of KhaoSod In a bold escape, two teenagers fled a custody vehicle in Nakhon Ratchasima province yesterday. The pair, aged 13 and 14, were being transported to a juvenile detention center for separate charges of robbery and methamphetamine possession. The escape took place around 3:30 PM near a traffic junction at Pakham Market, Phra Thong Kham district, as the vehicle slowed but hadn't fully stopped. Taking the chance, the teens opened a side window, jumped out, and vanished into a nearby forest. Immediate efforts to track down the escapees included police coordination with local rescue teams and deploying thermal imaging drones. Nithipong Klinhom, an official responsible for the transport, confirmed the incident. Eyewitness Klairung Kamnok, a local noodle vendor, was left astonished. He noticed the barefoot boys sprinting past his stall, moments before hearing loud honking from the custody van. The dramatic scene left him and others in disbelief as reports of the escape surfaced. Authorities continue the search for the juveniles, urging the public for any information that might assist in locating them, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-12 -

Donald......and the rest of the world.
Sorry, I forgot to read the rules first, which I have now done: Rule 1: Those on the left are allowed to call those on the right, hard right, far right, extreme right, far hard right, extreme far right, fanatical far right, and right wing extremists. Rule 2. Those on the right are only allowed to call those on the left, the liberal left or left of centre. Please accept my profound apologies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -

Samsung A55-5G Macro image of Mango Blossom at night: What's wrong? if anything?
Indeed I am. Slightly off topic but I also had a nice 35mm film camera once (I still have it in a box somewhere). It was a Pentax MX. At the time the Pentax ME Super was very popular but I wanted a fully-manual camera. It had a good light meter with half-stop over/under lights and full-stop over/under lights. Naturally, one twizzled the aperture and shutter speeds until the green aperture light lit. This was about 45 years ago and I remember at the time being very aware that the cost of film and developing meant that each shot cost me about 40p. It made me very selective about pressing the shutter. This was great training for composition, focus, light, subject matter, etc., etc., because nobody wants to see duds when they come back from the developers. So, I don't take snaps - I take photos. I'm British, and we used to have a great fashion photographer called Norman Parkinson (1913-1990). He would sometimes be commissioned to do royal portraits, for which he used a plate camera. I remember in an interview he stated that he took two plates to each assignment, just in case something went wrong with the first one. That's the way to do it. p.s. If you're interested (and you obviously are), have a look at NP's archive at https://www.normanparkinson.com/ Very inspiring.
