Rain

We are firmly into the raining season here in Thailand.  This morning is the fourth one this week that it rained.  Today I even drove the kids to school because it was coming down fairly hard. 

One thing that I like about the rain is that it definitely cools things down for most of the day.  Its nice to have a window open instead of running the air conditioning all the time.  The rain also seems to cut down on the mosquitoes. 

For a while, I was dreading the rain because just about every time it rained, our electricity would go out.  This week has been a lot better, perhaps in part due to the tree trimming undertaken by Nichada over the last week.  Some of the power lines were intertwined with tree branches, and that probably caused some of the outages.  I say this because it seems like the power outages were isolated to Nichada.  On Sunday, the power outage was even isolated to a few compounds in Nichada.
