Baby Mina! (with photos)
Everything went well! We have a new baby girl… Her name is Mina (??), pronounced mee-na. Unfortunately, almost no one in Nam’s family has the courage/skills to hold a baby, which means I am caring for Min and Nam while they take care of Max. Oh, well. Baby Mina is strong. Baby Mina likes being held. Baby Mina is already suckling. Daddy is going to upload a series of photos representing the first few hours with Mina via EDGE-enabled mobile phone, so it may take a while…

Last day alone
Pushing a 225 50 R17 (this set of mags was once on daddy’s Crown, but they scraped the wheelwells on even small bumps and made manual steering very heavy!).

Countdown: 7 days

Around Mahasarakham: The OTOP Marketplace
Note: With this entry, I’m starting a new category of posts called Around Mahasarakham (AKA Around Maha Sarakham). People have been asking exactly what the town we live in is like, so I’ll try to document it better in the future. ////////////////////////////////////////////// Built to fail just last year, the OTOP marketplace is already sliding into moldy disuse, and the unmistakable stench of broken loser dreams permeates the entire area. It’s one of my favorite places to hang out as its right down the street from work, it’s always deserted, and my old rusty car just belongs in the parking lot. Also, I buy bottled water in bulk there for half…

Surveying Khao Yai National Park, Thailand
Last week, while tripping balls on cold medicine and mourning the loss of our pink chicken, I mentioned going on a scouting trip for our upcoming International Camp. Here are some photos which are neither international nor even educational, but I like them anyway. If you’re lucky I may even throw in the odd caption. Khao Yai National Park. Entrance fees for Thais: 20 Baht. For foreigners: 200 Baht. Yet somehow, I got in for the Thai rate (because my coworkers told me to shut up so I could pass as Thai. Thanks, girls!) The dormitories we were supposed to stay at, but will no longer be able to because…
