Board at Elephant Pass looks optimistic. Group chat says otherwise. We need Ariyalai tonight. Phones, water, no drone. 26 Aug.

Trust the board, then have a van number in your pocket. Do not invent a cancellation. If the board says last, it is last. Unreserved is a maybe. Reserved is a reserved. Pick one before you perform hope.

Kids: van if the clock is thin. Platforms at night are a mood.

Do not pay a platform 'reservation' that is a smile.
