In response to "This Boring Life"

You'll be in bed soon. It's 23:49. (9 a.m. here; cold, cloudy)

I would try to be up by 8 a.m. in Udon Thani as I exercised in the morning and it usually was "warm" by 10.

I would watch TV at 20:30 and go to bed whenever.

Boring? Yes.

I would walk through the neighborhoods and sometimes take notes or photos. I noticed the small things.

In response to "Three Out of Five Ain't Bad"

I... haven't gone back and rated the places I stayed. But... mixed reviews. I'd gladly stay in the same place in Khon Kaen and Phimai again. I'd consider the place in Korat. I would rather not stay in either place in Mukdahan.

Honesty is important in relationships, as is communication. That said, you've crossed a few lines in Thailand. Culture is only one of them. Personally, I crossed more than a few...

In response to "Life Imitating Art"

Two very different worlds.

I used white chalk sticks against the ants. Mosquitoes?

Bang Saphan is a ways south of where I want to visit. Quieter than Hua Hin? Have fun!

In response to "Algorithms are the Enemy of Balanced Viewpoints"

Algorithms are an existential danger guiding us to group-think. Who wins? The wealthiest and most popular.

Fortunately, I've always been a bit of a misfit.

I hope Nada enjoys her time off in Roi Et. I dreamed about Roi Et today.

In response to "The Scales of Injustice"

I weight around 80-82 kg. I need to be under 80; ideally 75. I gain weight in Montana, normally lose it here.

I just ate roti (egg, banana).

For 1 baht all illusions are shattered.

In response to "My Mission"

Ex-pats... I found them a tad offish as well. In Udon we mostly have old (Northern/UK) Europeans... belly to the bar. Not a problem but I don't drink and football all day.

My Thai hasn't improved much but my understanding of the culture has.

One does have to be careful about generosity. It's not perceived the same here. When someone starts to treat me like an ATM it causes me grief. I remember being homeless and penniless. I did not beg for money; others did, but that's not me.

On a sadder note: I fear going back to you-know-where.

In response to "The Scales of Injustice"

Your last line says it all. Congrats. Of course, you can always have additional goals, but they shouldn't rule, or ruin, your life.

In response to "A Prepper Newbie"

The Earth will survive... with or without humans. Perhaps our molecules will recombine into something greater. One can hope for a future regardless.

What's That Knocking Sound? It's Just My Knees.

Reality can be a scary thing to face. For many years, it's been my dream to move to Thailand and begin a new life. But now things are becoming irreversible as a matter of course, I am shitting my pants in fear. Ideally (plan A), would have been to keep my home, rent it out and then, if things go awry, that home becomes plan B. Unfortunately, this isn't possible, so I am just going to have to face my fear and allow the future to be a little less structured than I would like...I think they call it winging it.

I have time before the inevitable sale of the house and my relocation. I need to use the time wisely, whilst remaining committed and on track because this isn't the one where I want to drop the ball. There is too much at stake (a roof over my head) to even consider.

I know I will be OK. I know there will be days when I will question my decisions I know how much hard work lies ahead...but, I also know that once I achieve my goals, I will look back and be proud...and hopefully, happy.
