Monkey Holding Peach Brand Co., Ltd., or alternatively, White Monkey Holding Peach Brand, are the manufacturers of the original “Tiger Balm” type ointment. This is the OG shit right here. They deserve your respect just for having the coolest brand and company name… If I ever have the chance to work with them, I’ll do it just so I can write it on my CV.

We have several guests arriving next week, including my brother and sister from the states. We were going to pick them up in Bangkok and head to the beach, possibly Koh Samet, but that seems impossible now that they’ve effectively destroyed all the beaches and marine life with the oil spill.
I guess we’ll have to go somewhere else so we don’t have to smell the seafood for oil before we eat it as recommended by government officials. You can’t make this shit up.
Even if you could smell crude oil on a deep-fried delicacy, does anyone even know what the chemical dispersants smell like? Because they probably aren’t very good for you either, seeing how they can kill coral and that “laboratory experiments showed that dispersants increased toxic hydrocarbon levels in fish by a factor of up to 100…”

We have a lot of guests coming from overseas in August, so I’m sure we’ll go there again soon. I want to write more about this, but I just don’t have the time today on this fine Lazy Sunday.

I like how people in a sane world can use certain words and not totally lose their shit. Besides, it’s a warm & fuzzy single action.
Awesome view!

This is, however, the only vineyard I’ve ever seen with fake grapevines (presumably for evergreen photo props).
From our work trip that I brought the fam along on. Damn those power lines.
