Raising a family in Thailand // Documenting Issan food, culture, music, and people
Phu Farms… As aptly named as a company can be…
Silkwork larvae are a snack I’ve had in Korea and Cambodia as well, and they don’t taste so bad. They are a good novelty food after a few beers. The canned frogs, however, are, well…

Yes, I’ve posted two Mina pics in a row. Max will get his turn soon, I promise.
I have one too many bikes around the house. My method of figuring the necessary number of bikes is simple. If I don’t ride it for more than a couple months in a row, it needs to go. This was originally a silver 110cc Honda Tena (true manual) that I converted into a Mad Max dirt bike of sorts. The engine internals and ECU are from a modified Honda Dash, but the big knobby tires made it impossible to get going very quickly, even with the ridiculously huge rear sprocket and a full year of trying different tuning tricks… I lost interest in this bike very quickly after buying the CRF. Farewell.
While trying to stay conscious in the first class I’ve attended as a student in nearly two decades (Statistics for Graduate Studies), I suddenly remembered why I swore I’d never go to school again.
At a fruit orchard tour in Chonburi, Thailand.
I will never catch up with all the photos I have to post before I retire… At least I’ll have a lot of photos to look at then.
Max no longer wears tartans.
He has so many girls fawning over him at school, it’s ridiculous.
And so a new era begins….
When I told Max not too step on or over headstones, he asked if it was because they are traps.
I remember being told not to do the same thing decades ago in a cemetery in Hawaii. I remember asking if it was because it’s impolite to step on people’s heads.
