Hi,
We are still on lock-down here in Chiang Rai. The air is very bad so we stay inside. The dogs are getting restless, and so are the people. Today we booked a trip way out of town.
I'm sitting here a little shocked that nobody knew/remembered "I'm Only Sleeping" by The Beatles. Oh well, here's another 'Bad Ass Bass' song to tickle your memory: "As I was walking down the street one day, a man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch, yeah that day." Clue: Big band from a windy city. That's all you get today.
This morning we woke up to the same gray, hazy sky that's been hanging there for weeks. I went for my massage and we went downtown for a meeting in the afternoon, but that was the extent of our outside stuff. We're trying to keep the dogs inside as much as possible but it's making them look at us like 'what's wrong?'. Today, Lisa put on a mask to take Daku out and he looked at her, determined that it was wrong, got upset, and then tried to take it off of her face. What an amazing dog. He knew it didn't belong there. Hmm.
We spent most of the afternoon researching coastal locations in Thailand where the air is clear. We finally settled on Koh Samet, an island off the coast of Rayong in the Indian Ocean. We've never been to that part of Thailand so this will be a totally new adventure. Getting there will also be a journey. We will fly to Bangkok, take a bus to the coast, and then a boat to the island. We'll leave on Sunday morning and return on Thursday. Now we just have to wait, inside.
The vet called today to let us know that BamBam's thyroid level was low so she'll keep taking her meds. It's nice to be able to provide good health care for the dogs and not have to worry about it being expensive.
When we were in Chiang Mai, we passed a booth in the mall and heard some beautiful music. I recognized the style so we went back. The man was just setting up for the day, but he pulled out a CD that included the music that was playing. It was a modern arrangement of a Buddhist chant and had a very soothing sound. The CD was 25 Baht ($.81) and includes 61 songs. Not all of them are really songs, but it blew me away that he had put this together and was practically giving it away. I guess he knows what's really important.
It's time for Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
