Bicycle lane at work
When the curb is lined with cars and long pickups (can you see the diagonal parking lines? ), you definitely do not want to hug that lane line too closely… I’ve backed in in this photo, but people usually park forward, and back out pretty much blind if there are cars on either side of them. On a more positive note, that’s possibly the best bicycle drawn freehand with a paintbrush I’ve ever seen. Posted from WordPress for Android

RMU Welcome Screen
This is a huge Windows-driven LCD with which I gauge my arrival to the university every morning. It’s usually not on when I roll by the first time since I have a lot of early morning classes, but on free days I sometimes see diagnostic screens, Windows startup, and the plethora of error dialogs that the operator has to click through before getting to the day’s scheduled programming. Sometimes I dream of hijacking it for giggles. Posted from WordPress for Android

Craziest Skypunch
It appeared to signal the end of a long class at my part-time gig in Roi Et, so I excused the students and drove home in the rain. Posted from WordPress for Android

Yukata Day at the School of English
Twice a week, I teach a Japanese language class and a Japanese culture class to these students at Strisuksa School in Roi Et, the next town over. Last term I decided we should have a “kimono day” on the last day, so Nam came out to teach them how it’s done (she has a kimono cert from our time in Sumoto).
