Looks good. Always have been unclear what delineates a patty melt from a burger.

I have encountered sandwiches I couldn't eat with my hands in the US, but they seem to be far more common in Pattaya.

Don't believe I ever had a hamburger served on a bread roll. Usually get mine on buns.

Same two I arrived with.

On one of the islands east of Phuket and close to Krabi, I was once served a beer Chang on the last day of Ramadan by a young woman wearing a very beautiful hijab and other finery to celebrate the holiday.

More or less knew that I snored like a boar hog. The GFE provider emphatically confirmed same. So I decided it might be time to go see the medics. I made an appointment at the ears, nose and throat clinic at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. The specialist there examined the mouth and nose. Said I had a deviated septum and, I think, something else which might have been impeding the air flow. Then she referred me to a neurologist. Here things were a little bit less obvious. Discovered I have pretty much lost the ability to stand on one foot even if I am stone cold sober. A few other thin

US. I'm sure no real difference in efficacy from Colgate but prefer the taste.

I just discovered that Villa Market sells Crest toothpaste. One of those comfort items for some of us.

A couple of novels I am working on now. The Quantum Spy by David Ignatius. Ignatius is a foreign affairs columnist for the Washington Post who also writes novels and has the reputation of having good contacts in the intelligence community. Apparently quantum computing is the great holy grail in the digital world. The tone is fairly quiet, but the subject revolves around the operations of the CIA and Chinese intelligence agencies and their attempts to gain information relating to quantum computer. No real idea as to whether he is accurate as to anything, but it is well imagined and a go

Drafted responses to a few of those, less than 10 and NOT State Department. You demonstrate that what the agency did was procedurally regular and that is usually it. I have heard of them working when the agency had failed to do anything for an unreasonable period of time. Visa decisions are notoriously unreviewable.

Martin, is that a tourist visa you are trying to get for Pin?

Out on an international flight the morning of 9 April. Cleared immigration outbound in perhaps 20 minutes. Returned the evening of 16 April landing at about 9:30pm. It was one of the Bangkok Air flights which parks on the east ramp and you bus in to the terminal. Walked through the door, up the escalator and the sign said "immigration 50 meters". Didn't think that was possible. Cleared immigration in perhaps 10 minutes and my bags were already on the belt

About ten days ago I saw a train with 20-30 flat bead cars with shipping containers come through town headed north. Suspect they were empty as there was only a single locomotive.

It wasn't recent, but I had the hunter's chicken once. It was way too dry for my taste.

Hadn't heard the term before. I can grasp the idea and goal, but it's the internet. It's going to take a lot of moderation to enforce. Now, why is it that the draft at the Fighting Cock Agogo is warm?

So that's the reason for the two car garage.

Back when Singha contained formaldehyde.

Went to a farang oriented bar/grill on the darkside last night. Looked at the menu and ordered ham with eggs and chips. I ask for scrambled eggs--blank look. So I tried kai kon--blank look. Okay, I'm tone deaf so I pull out the phone and it comes back with ไข่คน. Still a blank look so at that point I let "that farang" out of his cage and say never mind. The serving wench doesn't give up so easily and goes to ask the cook who was familiar with the concept and the term. The eggs were okay and the ham was edible.

The US had a major logistics base in Sattahip during the Vietnam war. Whether that had anything to do with the existence of the rail line, I don't know.

Actually retirement age farang.

When there is a sudden influx of people getting on elevators which are going up when they clearly want to go to the first floor.

Saw it come through town on the way north a few days ago. It had several coaches so it does appear to have a good ridership.

Not counting two wisdom teeth which were impacted, I have all the teeth I had on 20th birthday. Thank God for small favors.

As stated, it does not seem likely. The U.S. position is that dual nationality can happen depending on the laws of the respective countries and is not a matter of great concern. I won't say that the U.S. couldn't inform another country that certain people had naturalized but it would probably have to be with public notice that it was going to do so as it would be the disclosure of information about U.S. citizens. I won't pretend to know the Thai law on the subject, but the ground truth seems to be that Thai consulates have no problem with issuing new passports to individuals who had

No, regular mail.
