I awoke this morning later than I would have wish. I suppose I must have been tired. I was laying in bed last night monitoring Twitter and feel asleep, well, I don't know what time.
Checking my Twitter account first thing, I saw that the Thai Army offensive had begun. From my calculation, that happened approximately 0600. Since then, I have been glued to my PC and the TV is running hot.
Apart from the disturbing news of this, things go on normally around my place. Two of my children are home, and they have friends visiting. They have been swimming in our pool, and life appears safe.
It is a strange feeling, knowing what is happening in an area only a short distance from home. Helicopters constantly flying overhead and the occasional sound of gunfire, remind us of reality. I am saddened by what the local Thai people are enduring. I can only hope that this will end with minimal causalities.
