Hi,
Chiang Rai has moved into a familiar weather pattern. Sunny with clouds, afternoon rain, and occasional thunder stroms. All the humidity had caused problems for Mr. Daku and his 'Golden' skin. The adventure continues.
The 'Zany Day' song that so many of you knew was "Strawberry Fields" by The Beatles. 'Old School Friday' is going to be a challenge for you 'kids', 'cause it's, well, from 1963. We've gone deeper, but this one is a little off the grid.
"My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm __. Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm __. I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay. A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day, the county's gonna haul my belongings away 'cause I'm __." Hint: One word describing the absence of funds, starts with a 'B' like in broke but that's not the word.
This morning we had to take Daku to the vet. It turns out he has hot spots on both elbows and one had become infected. We took him to the vet in Ban Du and he was very calm through the whole visit. The doctor said she has treated a lot of Golden Retrievers for the same problem. He was prodded, scrapped, scrubbed and medicated. Poor baby spent the whole afternoon sleeping, mostly due to the antihistamine he was given. For a few days he'll have to wear the 'cone from hell' and stay inside unless escorted by an adult. It's going to be an interesting process.
The weather was beautiful today. The big storm came while we were napping so it didn't interfere with the day. We got in the pool with the sun beating down and within 5 minutes it got cloudy, dark and windy. We got out and went inside. A few minutes later the sun was back. Bummer.
Yesterday, during our travels, we passed a true 'country barbershop'. It sits on a busy road and offers a chic, open-air vibe that the locals apparently enjoy.
Tomorrow evening we're going to a celebration dinner for our friend Sutheera, who just got her PhD in business marketing. I'm sure we will get to meet some of her friends from her academic world.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. Time for a laugh. These two characters look just like Daku and BamBam.
Peace,
Danny
