In 2001 I arrived back from Singapore after two months on 24th July; the day before my birthday. Our elder daughter will be 13 on 24th April. How's the maths go again?

That you waited one year after your return? Or that your daughter will actually be 14 this year?
|
|
|
|

July 2001 PLUS nine months is April 2002, PLUS 13 years is April 2015.
Sums is hard.

The Thai New Year (Songkran) is celebrated (in modern times) with the greatest hoop-la, water-throwing, highway fatality and accident rates, and religious rites, most intensely in Chiang Mai, center of the northern region of Thailand known as Lanna.
Here's a video by one of our local videographers of some of this year's ... uhhh ... "fun:" [^].
Of course, looking "beyond the circus" one finds the timeless devotional aspects of the solar limnal period corresponding to the start of the early rainy season, such as public lustration of a Buddha image (here: the Phra Buddha Sihing, where "Sihing" refers to what is now Sri Lanka) which is a "palladium" of northern Thai Theravadan Buddhism, and regional cultural identity: [^] (photo by yours truly).
Like many other resident expats, I tend to "hide out" during Songkran ... getting hosed with filthy canal water ... often chilled ... by a high-pressure rig while riding a bicycle in heavy traffic where a large number of drivers of every type of vehicle are drunk, and/or busy using their mobile phones, while driving, is not recommended when you are too old for medical insurance, and don't have your cremation paid-for in advance.
But, I will enjoy a little water-fun with the neighborhood kids who are always delighted to have some old weird-looking alien to squirt

Seeing dancing girls in wet tee shirts is worth my venturing out and getting soaked.
It looks like you didn't make it to Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit1 as planned this year.
I am back in Issan fresh from Koh Chang last week (it's a long story - to quote the Rolling Stones "you can't always get what you want") and trying to take the back roads and tractor trails to avoid getting too wet. My camera and cell phone are secure in a plastic bag.

It does strike me that if you want a recoverable landing the best shape is not something tall and thin with a centre of gravity a long way from the ground. Time for a bit of thinking outside the tube, Shirley?

This proves it to me: what everyone calls rocket science is really just trial and error.

My spidey sense tells me there will be more 3d printer components that will be illegal. So now we are up to no 3D AR lower receivers and ballistic missile parts.
You remember those "type N' speak kiddy toys"? You give your 2 year old a the type N' speak keyboard where they can type out letters to make it say a word, but if you spelled one of those naughty words it would just giggle. So you snatch it from your 2 year old and think of unique combinations of letters to make it say something to make your wife would cringe at.
Maybe 3D printers will be like that?

This is a new (for my family) scam attack that stinks "Nigerian" to high heaven:
My daughter is a struggling graphic design artist that tries to sell her artwork through all avenues, including online. As a result of her activities on Farcebook, she recently received an order for a small art piece from an entity in "Hawaii". They promised to send her a check in advance for a couple of hundred dollars, but today she received the following email:
Quote: Hello,
How are you doing ? Am very sorry for the late response .... My son fell down from the second floor of the building last night and he was rushed to the hospital and i was unable to issue out the check...So i have to instruct my debtor to issue and mail out the payment to you....I had just read from my Debtor,that there was a mistake,because he informed me that he sent out all the amount owing me instead of him to send you the amount for the Item am purchasing from you , I was so mad because i don't know if my money will be safe with you when you get it , I want him to send the remaining of the funds to my art work seller for the art works i needed, but there is nothing i can do....Am counting on your support ,Once you receive the payment you will have it deposited which is going to clear the following day you deposited it..Once that has been taking effect , then kindly deduct the cost of the items also $50 for your self for any inconveniences i might cost you toward the transaction and wire the left funds via Money Gram to my Art work dealer. I will provide you the info where to wire the left funds to once you might have received and confirm the payment.
- Can i trust and have confidence in you ?
- Can you wire the rest of the funds to my Art work dealer via Money Gram ?
Fortunately she had enough common sense to discuss it with me, before taking any action. I told her to ignore all communication with these crooks!
There should be a central authority, set up by an entity like the FBI or Interpol, where these miscreants can be reported!

That's nothing new. Several years ago my wife listed something for sale on some site and immediately received a whole bunch of emails like that.

I thought the NSA was the central authority that automatically captured and forwarded messages like these to the appropriate authorities?!
