Using the girlfriend’s picture of the Bike for Dad event in Khon Kaen, today.

My front row picture wasn’t as good.

The route was 29 km. It started before 4:00pm (different groups starting one after another) and finished a little after 6:00pm. There were about 7,500 people that registered for the ride (they received the official t-shirts, wristbands and flags) and maybe more that showed up (estimated riders 10,000).

Little story for everyone. We were out of the country when the registration for the event was taking place. I told the girlfriend not to worry and just slip in with the riders somewhere along the route. She didn’t feel comfortable doing that so she pasted a note on her facebook page requesting that if any of her friends had registered but decided not to go she would take their place. A friend of hers told her she had registered herself, her husband and three kids. One of the sons had to attend a graduation ceremony and was unable to make it. The girlfriend took his place. But the girlfriend later told me that you don’t have to register. But you will not get the official t-shirt, wristband or flag.

The girlfriends bike (the white one),…….

There were a lot of people that showed up that didn’t register and were able to take part in the event. It seems everyone enjoyed themselves.

from the net,……..

Given it's summer proper in Australia, when I saw Looper's name as last post on this thread I assumed he had been down the beach.

Mutha @#$/& insects!!!???

**Looper** · 21-12-2015, 09:56 AM

Well I will see what I can find at the beach today!

But check out the size of that coont. She actually spun her web right in front of my front door so I had to go out the side door to get the photo before I tore her web down.

She rebuilt it 2 meters away.

It is with great sadness that I post this photo of tonight's Buriram sunset from a friends house. We are here to attempt to give him what little support we can as his wife lies in hospital in her last hours of a year long fight against cancer. It was one of her joys to watch the sun go down and the sky turn to gold, now it is something she will never see again.

**KEVIN2008** · 24-12-2015, 11:34 PM

Sad......Years of joy, obliterated by unforgettable sadness. Lovely Pic....

A Wellington favourite, Max Patte's Solace of the Wind (2008) leans north into the harbour's harsh gales while displaying its own inner tranquility.

"This city and its elements have been the inspiration for this work [...] the location where the sculpture will reside [...] is significant for me. It represents a time and place where I have felt so much. Wellington is truly a unique place to live."

The artist, Max Patte was a sculptor at Weta Workshop, and originally loaned the sculpture to the city for a year in the hopes of finding a patron.
