The 3000 m steeplechase yesterday had one of the worst accidents I’ve seen this Olympics. I hope the guy’s all right. He fell really badly.
It’s my wedding anniversary today, and we’re celebrating in different rooms like it’s 2021 😔 husband is still positive, unfortunately. Oh well, we still have the whole year to celebrate.
The War and Peace and Vampires book is going well so far. Except, they killed off my favorite character 😐 he didn’t deserve to die like that goddamit.
Millions of bats yesterday,and lots of elephants today…we saw a pretty large herd in the NP, around 40 including many babies.
Here in Thailand, unlike most African parks or other places famous for elephants (Sri Lanka for example),you don’t have to stay in your safari vehicle, you can actually walk fairly near to where the elephants are moving around.
You have to be very careful of course, and ready to seriously back up quickly if they start coming towards you!
Met some people at pinball league last night who still didn’t have power from Tuesday’s storms, and that downed tree in our neighborhood was still there resting on top of the same SUV this morning. I just saw that the National Weather Service confirmed 2 tornadoes touched down in the area that day, neither of which directly crossed where I lived but one of them almost certainly would have if it hadn’t dissipated as quickly.
I’m watching the pre-game shit for the Germany-France basketball game that’s about to start. During the German national anthem they panned over the entire team, like they always do, and it’s so funny how Dennis Schröder looks so short, even though he’s 185 cm. Like, he’s not stupidly tall, but not short either. Next to the rest of the team he looks tiny, though.
