This capy was so chill and friendly. He came out of the water and hung with us to munch after I shot this. We gave him all the long grass we had and then went and got him more, because he was an absolute eating machine.
I arranged for my cousin’s company to stay at the Dusit Thani Hotel at the end of Beach Road, and the level of service was excellent.
We stayed in a spacy family room on the 8th floor and were very pleased with the renovations the hotel has completed.
Were we really eating yakiniku together just last week?
Life’s a fuckin’ trip…
Gonna miss you, bro.
Doubled nationwide and doubled in Hamilton city (not county), in comparison to 10 days ago. People from other countries cannot understand why many Americans won’t wear masks, but it’s simpler than you’d think – Freedom or Death!
It would be remiss not to mention that arsonists have tried to destroy at least 50 5G towers in several countries in the EU, UK, and US. It has not helped the spread of the coronavirus at all.
Many insurance companies started offering it in Thailand from about last week, and the rates are similar. We just have the lowest tier of coverage, which starts at about 250 baht (one time payment) and covers up to 200,000 baht in medical expenses for a year. The higher tiers cover about double that.
I have to go pick up Max in Washington state in a couple months, so it seemed prudent. I looked at air tickets last night, and the transit countries (Japan, Korea, China, etc.) are all hot zones, except for Taiwan. So, hopefully Taiwan stays safe and I can use Eva Air. But who knows how all this will turn out. Fucking pandemics, man. Really inconsiderate.
Very, very cheap on Steam (-85%) until October 15. GO GO GO.
Remember, if there had been no Jet Set Radio, there may have been no Borderlands (see history of cel shaded video games).
