This mess in Bangkok ….

So when I read about a bus being set on fire up the street from me, I had to go check it out (from the safety of my roof at a zoom lens). I took these while listening to gun fire and the Muslim call to prayer that was happening at the same time. I think it’s rather ironic (and probably very politically incorrect of me to say this) that we have fighting caused by a Budhists happening at the same time that Muslims were going to pray. (I guess it’s also ironic that the government is able to kill Muslims in the south, but can’t keep our airport open. )

Anyway, I’m fine …. staying around my apartment. My only real danger is dying of malnutrition, as I don’t have much more than potato chips in the house. Hopefully the pizza guy can make it through later.
