White Apples

What are the odds of 6 neighbors all having white cars.  

I've read that the new popularity of white cars is due to the white design of the Apple iPhones.  Apparently, car colors tend to follow the color of the latest technology. In the 90's it was teal/ aqua which followed the iMac.

The Point

Back in elementary school, I remember "quiet time" in the classroom or during lunch when teachers instructed us to raise our hand and point the other at any kid that was talking or making noise.  I suppose the idea was to shame the guilty party into being quiet and not committing the crime again - along with creating a generation of tattletales and snitches.

Thais have embraced this concept, which accompanies any crime story on tv or in the newspaper.  To document and share the phenomenon, some guy has put together a mildly entertaining website called - Thais Pointing at Things  

Here are some examples...

In case you can't figure it out, the guy that stole the laundry on the table is at the pointy end of a half dozen fingers

I suppose there is something cathartic about publicly shaming someone who has wronged you

These guys stole dog food - that's double shame

This guy appears to be saying - "the panties made me do it!!!"

The art of pointing has now spread to other news segments - weather, natural disasters, accidents, and elephants in your front yard

These overloaded trucks never get old

Almond Kiss

Miss Thailand's national costume for the 2016 pageant is supposed to be a famous Stupa, but to me, it looks more like a Hershey's Kiss.  

The fact that Stupa's are usually built to hold the bones of dead monks makes it even more odd.

Back To Work

After spending two years on earth, my angel has returned to the sky.  

Nuch finished two weeks of training and had her first flight on Sunday.  Although it was nice to have full control of the remote for a day, I already miss our "normal" couple life.
