Friday Funnies

Hi,

Chiang Rai had a 'picture post-card' weather day. It was also very hot. There was a heavy emphasis on art today with a visit to a special temple, and an art show opening. In between there was eating, napping, and swimming.

It was bound to happen. Not much mail for "98.6" by Keith. I'll make 'Old School Friday' easy for you:
"Well, it's one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, now go cat go. But don't you step on my __ __ __, you can do anything but lay off of my __ __ __." Clue: The King is given credit for this one, though he didn't write it. The writer also recorded this one. Extra 'Cool Points' if you know who that was. I think the title should be obvious. This was a time before Pat Boone and white bucks. (555)

This morning I drove our guests down to Wat Rong Khun so they could experience the wonder of it all. We took lots of pictures and they thoroughly enjoyed it. There are so many beautiful works of art that I always notice something different when going through the gallery. In case you don't remember what I'm talking about, just Google Wat Rong Khun and you'll find many pages of photos of this special place.

When we got back to the house, we had a delicious tuna salad that Lisa had made. Jasper helped her shell the left over shrimp and she put them in the tuna. Very nice idea. After lunch it was rest time. Louise, Jasper, and I went down to Doi Chaang for coffee and to meet a friend from Bangkok. After about an hour of conversation we came back to the 'resort' for a swim.

The exhibit at 9 Art Gallery featured five artists. Each had a very unique style, which made it interesting as we walked around the gallery. The mind had to shift gears to approach each new concept. We introduced our new friends to our art circle friends and had some informative conversations about technique and presentation. Before the opening began, Khun Nine played a CD of Mongolian throat singing. I love throat singing and asked her to make me a copy. She loaned me the CD. She got it in Paris after hearing it at a gallery there. Amazing how things can travel around the world like that. If you'd like to reference what I'm talking about, there's an interesting documentary called "Genghis Blues" that features lots of Tuvan throat singing.

Today we found out that Boot's sister is out of the hospital and doing better. Boot will be home Tuesday. Yea!

Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. It's time for a few laughs with the 'Funnies'.

Peace,
Danny

Small Town Sheriff

In one small rural town the sheriff also fulfilled the role of the
town's veterinarian. One night the phone rang. The sheriff's wife
answered.

An agitated voice inquired, "Is your husband there?"

"Well, do you need him as the sheriff or the vet?" the wife asked.

"Both," came the reply. "We can't get our dog's mouth open, and
there's a burglar in it!"
