      @George-K said in Homeless Camp and the Sandwich Shop:

      Is the US unique with this problem?

      What problem?

      The USA is #56, UK #36, Japan #85

      Syria #1 by a lot

      A few weeks ago we were having dinner with a guy from south korea, and I asked him his thoughts on north korea. Apparently word on the street in south korea is that the north korean women are the most beautiful. That's the first thing that popped into his head, about north korea.

      It usually is just bad, not this bad. LOL

      Air is stagnant for a while, which is unfortunately, because from the weather side, it is the best time of year. Dew points are often below 70 for a change. Plus, there is not the same pollution control for factories, etc. that are seen in the US.

      Sunrise? We won’t see that until April. Currently sipping a scotch by the fireplace, watching Light & Magic, hoping the two baby monitors stay dark.

      @LuFins-Dad Sorry, I wasn't very clear.

      A couple of years ago, the man was caught stealing a bicycle, and the victims caught him and tattooed his forehead with "Im a thief and loser"

      Come up to the present day, and parts of the tattoo are still there, but he didn't learn. Got caught AGAIN stealing! LOL

      But, i guess no new tattoo from the victims!!

      I find the article kind of nonsensical. They start with the premise that population density would be far lower due to the inherent genetic makeup of the Neanderthal to stay in small family groups. Well, if that’s true then why are we even having this conversation? The Neanderthal never stood a chance at surviving because of that basic trait.

      @jon-nyc said in The Most Corrupt DEA Agent:

      You know you can live that life without going to jail. Just join a top tier investment bank or management consulting firm instead of the DEA.

      LOL (Not that you speak from experience! 555)

      It's the little old lady from Pasadena

      The little old lady from Pasadena
      (Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
      Has a pretty little flower bed of white gardenias
      (Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
      But parked in her rickety old garage
      Is a brand new shiny red Super Stock Dodge

      And everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner
      Than the little old lady from Pasadena
      She drives real fast and she drives real hard
      She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard

      It's the little old lady from Pasadena

      If you see her on the street don't try to choose her
      (Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
      You might drive a goer but you'll never lose her
      (Go granny, go granny, go granny go)
      Well, she's gonna get a ticket now sooner or later
      Cause she can't keep her foot off the accelerator

      And everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner
      Than the little old lady from Pasadena
      She drives real fast and she drives real hard
      She's a terror of Colorado Boulevard

      It's the little old lady from Pasadena

      @taiwan_girl

      I believe you are correct. It is not a Mao jacket, it is cut more like a Nehru jacket - similar to the one Peter Sellers wore in The Party. Birdie num-nums anyone?

      Some more random pics of BKK

      I would think if you were going to spend money on a company sign, you would make sure the words are correct. It's hard to see, but even on the side of the shop, it is spelled wrong also.

      Too a trip today to Bang Nam Phueng, a three sided "island" in the Chao Praya river. Close to BKK, but seems like a long ways away.

      IMG_8422.JPG
      Signs of the recent flooding in BKK. Long and heavy rainy season this year. Fortunately, it appears to be over.

      Our lunch restaurant and my friend (not me) showing off our USD $1.50 spiced pork and rice lunch. (Called Kra Pao in Thai)

      Bang Nam Phueng - very rural seeming.

      Interesting bug. It actually is only about the size of period dot. Guess it was drinking the water on the table.

      Thought of @Aqua-Letifer and @jon-nyc and other bike riders when I saw this. Like the Romans, they don't have bike lanes, only wheelchair lanes!! 555
