NTR (nothing to report): HOT!!!

In this period of time, the hottest season of the year, I have absolutely nothing to report. It is indeed hot. Anyone who claims otherwise is a liar or a masochist.

For my vintage gear buddies: NATIONAL solid state TV.

It would have been nice to have a look inside this old NATIONAL solid state TV. Spotted in a hotel lobby the night we spent in a hotel because of a busted water main in the housing estate.

For my TLLB: Read the sign!!!

For my failure to completely read the sign, I was fined US$ 11. I guess that's fair enough. I properly read the English part "BUY 1 GET 1 FREE". So I picked up a Chunky Monkey and a Cherry Garcia.

But did I read the Thai word under BEN? No, I did not. And for that, I was fined. I have no complaint. I deserved a fat tax for buying Ben & Jerry's ice cream in the first place.

I wanted to warn them: "Don't do it! That food is nasty!"
But my flabby, sallow, out-of-shape self had the self-awareness to stand down.
Especially while stuffing my gob with peanut cookies...

Once more to Phimai Historical Park.

I never tire of visiting Phimai Historical Park. I would be very interested in hiking the old road from Angkor Wat to Phimai, but much of the old road has vanished with the passage of time (The Great Eraser).

For my TLLB: Here's one for you.

For my Thai language learning buddies, a modest challenge.

A bicycle ride wearing a KN-95 mask is better than no bicycle ride at all.

I guess it was my dream that the air wouldn't get bad until mid-January. I got back right at the end of the rainy season, and the air is...
