Friday Funnies

Hi,
Right now it's a little after 9:30 in the evening and we've been having a light show in the sky. It must be far away because there has barely been any thunder. We first spotted it as we were coming home from downtown. The Night Bazaar was packed tonight but we had some things to get in preparation for the trip back to the States.
So, some of you knew the '62 hit by Mary Wells, "The One Who Really Loves You". As Linda put it, it was a classic. And now:
"Gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John, he says he has the misery but he has a lotta fun. Oh baby..." Hint: The title is a descriptive name for a young woman, written and sung by an outrageous showman. It's had many covers, but the original is the one that counts.
Today we went to Mae Sai in the morning. I won't bore you with details, but I will say that going to the border tourist center is better done in the morning, when just the locals are out. We finally found a wireless doorbell. Now we can close the gate even when we're expecting workers. It will be good for so many reasons.
I got four messages telling me about the telescoping light bulb changer. I should have mentioned that I knew of such a device but couldn't find one here. Thank you to all who sent me links and tips on how to deal with the high ceilings. They probably have them in Chiang Mai or Bangkok, but not 'up country'. Boot says she knows a handy-man who can take care of all that. Ah, life is sweet.
I'm not going to go on (as you know I can) because it's time for the 'Funnies' and they're kinda long. Blue sent this wonderful list for you education. (Ha)
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.

Peace,
Danny
