Now I pay whatever I have to pay for possible relief of my foot issues.
I'm hopeful...
20240114 update:
So far, so good. Some relief. If you have/had plantar fasciitis, these appear to be a decent choice.

My USD 40 price ceiling for tennis shoes is a thing of the past.
Sunset at the pond.
With the toad frogs and the pond monster. (Have not yet been able to identify pond monster despite frequent observation.)

Korat Winter Festival and Countdown 2024
On the afternoon of Christmas Ever, we made it downtown to the Korat Winter Festival. Lots of nice flowers, and lots of good food on offer, as usual.

Local monitor lizard population seems healthy...
At a wonderfully low high temperature of 25 degrees, we went for a bicycle ride along the double canal by the housing estate's front perimeter fence. (Dirt road is lined with canals and jungle on both sides.) First, I spotted a large monitor lizard on the dirt road. It spotted us at the same time, and ran crashing away through the woods.
A bit later, I spotted a different large monitor lizard on the dirt road ahead. It was hardly afraid of us. I was ringing my bicycle bell a lot trying to get it to run away. I guess it finally got tired of my pestering, and it slithered away into the canal.
I've been thinking about fishing that canal, but haven't yet. If and when I do, I suppose I should prepare myself for a possible encounter with Monitor Lizard,

20231213-1758 sunset.
If we were to date/time stamp a sunset, would it look any less beautiful? No, it would not. The entire natural world cares not a whit about our crazy artificial systems.

Our last ride...
After you've made your final revolution on the Ferris Wheel of Life, and after the funeral ceremonies have all been completed, it's off to the crematorium. This is the cart used to carry the coffin.
P.S. Not trying to stir up any bad luck for anybody here. สาธุ!!!

Village canal looking good after ลอยกระทง / Loy Krathong.
You can see กระทง / krathong remnants in both photos. Not a perfect situation environmentally, but a lot better than before when they used to use styrofoam. This year's ลอยกระทง / Loy Krathong was strong. You could feel it happening everywhere you went for days in advance, and the Loy Krathong moon still looked great for days afterwards.

Movie night at the village temple.
I thought this was a thing of the past, but nope. It's still going on and well-attended at that. I'm not sure about the equipment used, but both video and audio were good.
