World


Hi,

The dark clouds gave the impression that it might rain.  Ha, only at night.  It was another hot, sunny day.  There was a pool party that we weren't invited to, and we spent the evening at the mall.

This week's 'Zany Day' song brought back memories for many.  Hints about the theme would be pointless.  It's easy:
"I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on, until I'm sure that you've been shown that I can be trusted walking with you alone.  
Owoooooo!  I mean Baaaaaa!  Baaa?  Clue: This group also sang about a wooly creature in another song.  Hmm.

Aside from some drain drama it was a pretty mellow day.  There is a system used here and in other parts of the world where the water from the sinks goes into a tank in the ground and slowly seeps into the earth after being neutralized by something else, blah blah blah.  One of ours is clogged or full and it's not right.  Without yellow pages it's difficult to get a handle on just who to call.  By the end of the day we thought we might have a solution.  Tomorrow tells the tale.  

We are in the final stages of preparation for Lisa's Bangkok art debut.  The frame guy was supposed to come today to check all the hanging wires.  He didn't make it so we had an early, cold swim.  Not long after we had finished our swim I looked out and saw a bunch of women and children in the pool.  Somehow Boot forgot to tell us that her friends were coming over.  It really doesn't matter, except that it's nice to know when someone else is using your stuff.  I understand the reasoning though.  We used it and we were done.  Hmm, time to have another talk.

With the drainage thing going on we did the only logical thing; we went out to dinner.  During our meal at Black Canyon, we had to endure cover recordings of hits from the 70s.  Great songs, just slightly below average covers that sounded like lounge acts.  After dinner we went to Tokyo Optics for me to get fitted for glasses.  I've been getting by with one contact and compromising on the close vision for awhile.  Next week I will take delivery of a pair of Nikon frames holding progressive lenses that have a wider field of vision.  It felt like buying a car, so many choices and decisions to make.  The eye guy has a the latest testing gear and it was very impressive.  I guess the new 'peepers' will call for a photo.  

Here's a photo of the Thai Gardenia I told you about.  Until they perfect 'Smellogram' photography, this will have to do.

                       Can you smell them?

Have a Thrilling Thursday.

                        Peace,
                                   Danny
