Thank you. The next significant event is Bangkok Expo motor show. I am scheduled to visit on Tuesday.

These were taken with a 13 mm lens from 4th floor car park of Terminal 21. I think they accurately reflect the scene as I saw it.

No, I probably have the longest ride from Northern Naklua to 13/3 near Walking Street, 100baht. 50 70 baht for shorter rides. Rarely wait for more than 2-3 minutes. I was going to ship one of the bikes from Khon Kaen but as long as Bolt survives and doesn't get greedy I'll leave them.

One sort of change that I was noticing, but it could be the time of night that I choose Bolt. I got the opinion that they were trying for added value for their drivers. By this I mean that rather than say wait 10 minutes for a standard Bolt, I would stump up say, another thirty baht for a Premium ride in three minutes. I did this a couple of times but I think that it all comes down to time of day, destination and location. Why any sane driver wants to get into the thick of Soi Buakhao is a mystery, but that's my general destination.

Confirm, I live off the BB routes and take Bolt several times a week. Find them about as cheap and plentiful as M/C taxis. Im old so even use them short distance, my home bar 13/3 to my St bar 13/1. Few years ago I would have just walked, if I walked now wouldn't be much point going to the St bar.

Submitted the application for retirement benefits online today. Interestingly, they allowed me to select December 2025 as the start date of benefits, which would mean I'll get a check next month. Fingers crossed!

Been there, great show. Hope to catch another one soon, maybe next year.

Thanks for the great pics. Hopefully this upcoming Christmas season will be the last one I spend anywhere but Thailand.

I had to (past tense, did it yesterday) do this because somehow my birth hospital didn't notify the SSA of my birth. That's usually done automatically, accounting for why most people aren't aware that it happens. Interestingly, I found out about this when I tried to make a login for the "my SS" online service a few years ago. I could get to a certain point in the process but no farther. Called the office and the guy said, "Oh, that's because you don't exist!", and fixed it. He told me at the time that all my benefits were secure and there was no problem, but that I'd have to present a

Air Quality down this morning. Overall the dismantling and clean up is going well. The work opposite Mikes Mass seems to have been successful. Praise to the ladies/gents in orange shirts who do the clean up. (See last few photorgraphs)
