The US embassy is closed? Typical. Just when Americans need to actually use the place. LOL. Hope this ends soon because when its peaceful again, I need to get three (3) suits from any tailor. I'd rather get suits, than dodge bullets and grenades.

Subway, skytrain not operating =======================

LBJ ! 1966 Yet, finally, war is always the same. It is young men dying in the fullness of their promise. It is trying to kill a man that you do not even know well enough to hate. Therefore, to know war is to know that there is still madness in this world.
Robert Burns
Man was made to mourn: A Dirge Many and sharp the num'rous ills Inwoven with our frame! More pointed still we make ourselves Regret, remorse, and shame! And Man, whose heav'n-erected face The smiles of love adorn, - Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn!
Dont know what is really going on, but what I know is that near where I stay, up the street from Klong Toey market there is a real big cloud of black smoke and no more cars or bike coming or going in this direction...
Reports of red shirts setting up fake detours for vehicles actually taking them into the trouble zone, instead of away from. Reports of red shirts firing at farangs in taxis. Reports of army given permission to use live ammunition rather than rubber. Buildings and banks on fire.
As Madonna once sang... This Used To Be My Playground.....
I'd take your info off the net RTB, and stack some tires and razor wire to the entrance. Red Shirts would probably enjoy the shit out of themselves in Toxic, don't think they'll be paying for drinks.
Just another goddam Civil War !
