Sunset at the housing estate park.

Here's a sunset photo from our housing estate park.

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.

Feeling superior...

There I was, probably in The Mall Korat, sitting and eating my peanut cookies as I watched people eat their McDonald's "food". I admit to feeling highly superior at the time. (Not feeling so superior today after a US$ 22 Ben and Jerry's ice cream crime. Cherry Garcia if you're interested in this type of food crime.)

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 successful circumnavigation of Old Town Korat.

As of 20230218, I have successfully circumnavigated Old Town Korat. There is a moat all the way around the old city, and I walked all the way around inside the moat. Photos are in reverse chronological order because the geniuses at Google provide me no other option.

The statue of Thao Suranaree / Ya Mo / Grandma Mo.

The clock tower. Every town has one.

I can assure you that this is not an otter...

I was doing pretty good on my retirement job, but then...

Then the air turned to shit. I had better learn to like the fitness room because exercising outdoors is not an option these days. (I think we're on day three or four of being stuck inside.)

At the clubhouse swimming pool...

Sometimes I remember to count my blessings: We are damn lucky to have access to this swimming pool and fitness center. I will continue to enjoy outdoor exercise as long as this weather lasts... Grateful!!!
