another round of early morning storms around PP on the way.
At the moment they are all coming from the Vietnam side rather than the Thai side which is normal.
It is the change of seasons I think
been a big hatch of these atlas moths around my place the past couple days

Is that by design that the wing end looks like a snake.

sure- it is an evolved protective colouration.
very obvious too!

Wow that's quite a moth.

And yes, the thunderstorms have been blowing from the east, as opposed to the last six months or so when all the weather has been from the west. I have a new set of leaks to deal with now.

Saturday night's storm was a bit close for comfort. My place is a bit higher than the surrounding buildings. Maybe it's just as well it's constructed like a Faraday Cage... would probably still catch fire though.

we lost a big limbof a tree and the girlfrend swears lightning. i slept through it.
diazepam is good that way
we will be in for another round about 4 AM
which is good because it will drown out the perpetual funeral racket.
ppl cark it daily round here.
most recent victim aged 49 choked on a durian moon cake.
saturday arvo, at least it was not a shamful heart attack. yes, i use the term advisedly. not a typo
everyone in the vlilage knows all the details within an hour.
sometimes they burn them on the road verge right in front of the family home- stinky.

RIP

That moth is amazing Frank. The weather site is very good too. I had a small problem with a snake today. I suppose he just wanted to be dry too.
