Clarifications, adendums, revisions, corrections and edits

Much of my ability to blog has been dependent on the following:

*. Availability of the inet - no sgnal in Mung La, sporatic in Keng Tung
*. Caution about blogging in Myanmar and possibe "troubles" over what I blogged since inet traffic by foreigners is closely monitored.  I did not blog in Myanmar for 7 days, then I became ill for the next 10+ days, so many blogs are a week or more backposted.
*. My ability to intelligently prepare, edit and post - I have been quite sick, lethargic and just plain feeling shitty.
*. My lack of brain processing ability after days of little or no sleep due to coughing
*. Change in nutrition, hard beds, smoke, dust, headaches and at times pure lazyness
*. Limitations on editing ability - cutting, pasting, posting with only an ipad and transferring data from cameras, iPhone, the web, and the limitations on formatting with the blogging software, etc.
*. The large volume of experiences, photos, observations, etc. to describe.

So, now that I am feeling a little better, many of my earlier blog entries I am now reworking, reproofing, editing and each time I republish, the blog is posted as If written on the post date, which it was not.  

So, you may see blogs pop up a week or two late, it is because of the way the software works.  But do keep looking through them, as I completely lost my first three days of travel and thoughts in Myanmar, for example, and I am attempting to recreate as I am able from various notes and remberances when I review photos.  I am also posting new pics on many of the blogs as I rework them.

This is also a bit of a journal for me, personally, to remember my travels, so things may pop up weeks later based on fleeting recollections. 

This is is not a book that I am publishing, and is not being written as such.

In Keng Tung.  The locals were laughing at me.
