Floodwaters Hit Us in Thailand

[Ross Barlow]

Friends,

.

I have known a lot of folks on this forum for many years. Here is a recent note on the flooding here in Thailand:

I try to update that blog daily if I'm able. I think I will lose electricity soon.

Ross,

You be well.

Do whatever you gotta do to get through this thing.

You are important to me and, I am sure, to many around here.

Ross,

Best of luck getting through this. Quite an adventure to look back on when you get to the other side of it. I like your blog and your reviews and I hope you can continue with it.

I've gotten past some excruciating back pain in the last couple of years (I'm a couple of years older than you are). I'll send you all the resources I've found for back rehab soon.

Ross, I hope you get through this without a lot of property damage. Hang in there!

Be careful of the back (lift with legs, take frequent rest and stretching breaks): My mother injured hers wheeling cement and dirt to build a house. Decades later, it still hurts.

Can you hire assistance, or are they all sandbagging their own property. Maybe from the 'hills' or wherever they aren't simultaneously being flooded?
