Friday Funnies


Hi,

After 24 hours of rain, it's been 'dripping' this evening.  The dogs got lots of play time this afternoon and all is well.

When the dust settled, only two readers knew the 'Zany Day' song, "Back In The U.S.S.R." by The Beatles.  Oh well, here's an easy 'Old School Friday' tune you're sure to remember.  "When the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we'll see.  No, I won't be afraid, oh, I won't be afraid.  Just as long as you __, __ __ __."  Clue:  The title is three words, it's a request for support.  The singer drifted around before going solo.

The 'Tropical Depression' that is over Northern Thailand dumped a lot of rain.  Our front yard was like a marsh, but it drained properly.  The back yard continues to get that 'lake look' when it's heavy.  I guess the drain needs to be opened up with some kind of snake device.  Other parts of Chiang Rai had flooding, but nothing serious as far as we know.  A friend posted a photo of a section of the Super Highway north of town and it was completely covered on one side.  

We went into town this morning while the sky was in sprinkler mode and it wasn't too bad.  It's always interesting to see the various methods people come up with to stay dry, or not.  I was thinking about all the people who will get to work or school with their clothes soaked.  Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

In yesterday's post I discovered that the names of the twins may not have been aligned with the photos.  Just to clear things up, the big smiling face in the gray top was Taeyo, and the cutie in the white top was Jaiyah.  

One of the benefits of so much rain is the greenery that surrounds us.  Today's photo is the road to our house.


The weekend is looking pretty calm.  Sunday we're going to dinner at Art Bridge with friends.  Lisa will be working in her studio, preparing for the exhibit in Chiang Mai, and I will be doing something as yet undetermined (555).  Oh, and we'll be making every attempt to stay dry.

Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.        Time for the 'Funnies'.

                       Peace,
                                  Danny
