    You mean the Federation can maintain a fleet of starships and explore the deepest reaches of space, but they can’t install a spell checker? Typical bureaucracy.

    Monkey Atlantis

    October 30, 2017 /

    Maha Sarakham’s premier tourist attraction is under water! The monkey forest park in the nearby town of Kosum Pisai (AKA Monkeytown) is now completely flooded. The river running through it is usually quite wide and only about a meter deep; it’s a great spot to relax under the trees and watch fishermen throwing cast nets as a fresh breeze blows through and monkeys steal food from cars and incessantly mount each other. Now, it’s under several meters of floodwater because the Ubonrat Dam upriver was opened after the heavy rains. Pushed out of their home in the forest, the monkeys are now living up the street at the school and…

    Our cat ate an enormous spider.

    October 18, 2017 /

    Our cats catch and eat almost anything around our house. I’ve seen them eat rats, mice, squirrels, sparrows, pigeons, geckos, skinks, lizards, frogs, and bugs. The only things they won’t touch are fish from the pond in front of our house and toads, so they really do know what is and isn’t good for them. The huntsman spider in this video is pretty big, but I’ve seen bigger both inside and outside our house. They are pretty scary and amazingly fast, but I usually try and catch them to release them away from our cats.

    Day of Grub

    September 24, 2017 /

    It all started out with French toast and banana milkshakes for breakfast, and continued into lunch at our friend’s nearby restaurant where the kids had noodles and fried rice, and we had various curries and braised meats. We made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with walnuts in the late afternoon, then I went to my Turkish pal’s house to get continued instruction on various salads, sauces, and kebab. I took a big bag of food home and the kids chowed down. Tomorrow is school for them, so the sad silence before bed has begun.   Bonus Kebab Assembly Vids:

    How the heck did I miss this until now? Kinda like the best documentary ever, using the oldest pawn shop equipment available. Awesome. This is the reddit page my mom thoughtfully sent me: Costco Kimchi I’m sure Kevin must have mentioned it at some point, but I’d never heard of this practice until today.
