The HOF Weblog

How long is normal for a stay in the crapper, I ask thee?

Well, I don't know about you, but could just about spend all day there. That being said, the watermelon-like wife and I revisited our boudoir and bath design. This was somewhat influenced by Thai Feng-Shui, as Jum-krob recently revealed her expertise in the realm of such Eastern superstitions. Our major challenge--we discovered a bit late--was that our heads were pointed west with our bed in present situ.

Bugs bug me. In fact, I hate them (most of them at least, except for maybe ladybugs); and in Thailand, like Hawaii, there termites—lots of them.

I recently saw a show on National Geographic about these termites in Australia that build their homes in tall flat panels like surfboards stuck in the sand. They align themselves for optimum thermal efficiency in relation to the rise and fall of the sun. In Thailand, they create nothing as fancy, just big mounds. There are two big ones just adjacent to HOF. Interesting? Amazing? Maybe, but gross nonetheless.
