Klingon not just for Trekkies

Look who's learning Klingon! Looks like the Thais are much more technologically advanced than we ever expected.



The new classes don't start for another 4 weeks, but I bought the books and Sow's helping me thru them. I'm trying to get a head start to see if I can jump right into the 2nd level class at that time. That way I can take all 3 before we come back to the states.

We're at home right now. There's an amazing thunderstorm going on. Last night too. They're worried there might be another flood like a few weeks ago. We've got sandbags waiting out front. And I've unplugged my laptop incase of lightning. We're currently perched on the highest insulated point of the bedroom, a stack of thai language text books atop an inflated rubber raft.

The roof has nice long eaves and the rain is warm, so it's nice to sit inside with the windows open and listen to if come down.

Looking out the window, I see the water level rising across the street...



Last time it came all the way up and stopped just short of our door. About 2 feet of water. You can still see the stain on the sides of all the houses. We're actually a little higher up than the houses across the street, so it actually flooded into their homes.

And now it's dying down...

Probably be completely clear and sunny in about 10-20 min. I'll end up getting the worst sun burn of my life today.
