Thailand’s military government sent thousands of troops and police into central Bangkok on Sunday, stifling any mass dissent against the army’s coup on May 22 and limiting protesters to small gatherings held mostly around shopping malls.
Other than that, the rest of the country seemed fairly calm ………………………………….!
Well folks, it was only supposed to be a joke that we pulled a few days ago, but apparently someone in Thailand (Siam) has taken us seriously!
With the permission of the present king, the military junta has installed Yul Brenner as the former / future “King of Siam” with full regal powers and privileges!
Yul, (who has got to be a couple of hundred years old by now) will apparently be more than just a figurehead ………, and attempt to restore some sort of normalcy to the country!
(This could get interesting folks. Stay tuned!)

MANITOBA REPORT!
ONLY IN WINNIPEG, YOU SAY?
While air conditioners are whirring in Winnipeg, some water pipes are still frozen from the extra long and hard winter!
The frost line usually goes down to 4 or 5 feet, but because of the bitter cold this past winter, the frost went as far as six to 8 feet underground, and some of the deeper pipes have not thawed out yet!
THAT’S RIGHT FOLKS, HELL ALMOST DID FREEZE OVER OUT ON THE PRAIRIES THIS YEAR!
——
We also have word that fewer people are crossing in North Dakota for shopping this year due to the exchange rate………,, but we couldn’t figure out why anyone would want to go there in the first place, until we realized that this was Manitoba and Saskatchewan we were talking about!

Plus, get a load of THIS!
After making its way through a Winnipeg neighborhood Thursday, a black bear took a moment to rest before ambling back into the woods.
The nation wide CBC Radio 2 service, (that’s the one with classical music and a bunch other boring stuff) was down for most of Sunday morning!
Word has it that three people complained!

MEANWHILE, IN TORONTO: The 2014 Becel Ride for Your Heart has
raised $6 million for charity, but it’s made travel difficult for
motorists looking to drive in and out of Toronto on Sunday.
The Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway will be closed
until at least 2 p.m. for the annual fundraiser and when this is
combined with he normal construction this time of year on area roads
it’s a wonder anybody is getting anywhere, anyhow, and anytime!Might as well stay at home and have a beer or a glass of wine in the backyard bunky!

Folks, scientists have explained the reason why humans love the smell of frying bacon!
The video explains that bacon’s smell is the result
of a process known as the Maillard Reaction, in which sugars break down
and combine with amino acids to form any of 150 different organic
compounds.
Europeans and North Americans both had an affinity for bacon, while
the study concluded that most Jews and Muslims found the smell
unsettling!
————————————————I don’t know if you heard about this, but we paid special attention since it happened right in our own backyard!
A 10-year-old boy rescued from horrific living conditions
in London, Ont., told police there are two things he really wants —
some regular food and to go school — signs that he is a “child with
resilience,” the Children’s Aid Society says.
The boy, who police say had been locked in a squalid bedroom for at least 18 months and was wearing urine-soaked pyjamas when they found him Friday, is now in foster care.
“The fact that the first thing he wanted was to go to school, I think, is a very positive sign that this is a child with resilience,” Jane Fitzgerald, executive director of the Children’s Aid Society of London and Middlesex, told CBC News on Saturday.
The boy is now with caretakers who specialize in looking after children who have been traumatized.
