Laughter

Hi,

As predicted, it was a busy Thursday here in Chiang Rai. The leak got fixed, there was an adventure with the mini-frig, and a major storm in the evening.

Some of you caught this one real quick. I suspect this 'Song of '68' will ring a bell for the rest of you.
"It's a __ __, ahhh, each bird keeps singin' his own song, so long. I've got to be on my way now. Ain't no fun just hangin' around, I've got to cover ground, you couldn't keep me down. It just ain't no good if the sun shines when you're still inside..." Hint: It's about the 'a.m' time of day.

The work crew showed up this morning and went into the crawlspace above the ceiling, armed with silicone. They found the source of the water leak, and two roof tiles that had shifted. They were in and out in less than an hour.

Our little mini-frig in the bedroom stopped working so we took it to Makro, where we bought it. We took Boot with us since no one there speaks English. We were directed to the service center down the highway. It's behind a store we've been to many times. We didn't know about the part in the back. We should be hearing from them within a week. Boot did all of the talking, in Thai, and when the paperwork was done the young man explained to us in English about how long it might take. You just never know who knows what.

The afternoon was the usual routine. As we were enjoying the pool we noticed dark clouds coming from the west. Just as we finished dinner it began to rain. It was light at first and then a tremendous downpour that lasted about 40 minutes and flooded both yards. The rain continued for another hour. I'm sure there were many people who got caught by surprise by this storm.

Tomorrow we go to the government building for the presentation of the art work. It will be very exciting when they finally hang the works and we can go and 'visit' the piece that Lisa contributed. I guess this will make her an official 'Thai Artist'. Hmm.

Have a Thrilling Thursday.

Peace,
Danny
