    So, rice is out.

    Swine flu, (pork's out), bird flu, (chicken's out)... it's a wonder there are any Asians left at all.
    There are few problems in life that cannot be solved with toast.

    One of them, however, is opening a can of corned beef with that stupid key. This cannot easily be done at the best of times, and toast is of surprisingly little use in resolving the issue.

    Tak province has thousands of rai contaminated by cadmium and arsenic; all rice and soy bean growing has stopped on that land. Mine tailings polluted the irrigation water.
