Hello, and welcome to our adventures, misadventures, and general musings

Cheryl and I are now living in our little house on the prairie and are enjoying the non-stresses of small-town life. We miss our friends and family and love it when they are in touch.

Panthip is a Crazy Hullabaloo


This weekend Cheryl and I ventured to Panthip Plaza in search of a deal on electonics. After asking around about where to look for a deal I was told repeatedly to visit Panthip Plaza and now I see why. The plaza was five stories of mind-bending madness. The entire place was small proprieters all carrying variations of the same electronic products. The crazy thing was that the prices were very low because of the sheer competition of the place. There must have been several hundred vendors all with the same things to sell, and all under the same roof. Every inch was packed with cheap nock-off electronic wares of all shapes and sizes. I saw name brands of all sorts but one could never be sure if they were real or not, especially the "ipods". For the first twenty minutes I was very excited at the incredible deals, but within the next twenty minutes the place was just too much to handle. Cheryl was anxious to leave as one can stand amidst madness for only so long before it becomes contagious. We soon subsided to making our purchase and escaping quickly, however, when there's a good deal to be had on electronics, any man is tempted to return.
