Hi,
Sunshine, clouds, and rain, another day in Chiang Rai. Today we paid a visit to the Talat, and had a visit from a group of college students. We also had a guest storm in the late afternoon.
The 'Easy Monday' song was a snap for most of you. "Stop! In the Name of Love" brought in more mail than I've seen in a long time. Nice to hear from so many of you. Our 'Zany Day' song will begin with the first verse, otherwise it would be way too easy (555). "Standing by a parking meter, when I caught a glimpse of __. Filling in the ticket in her little white book. In a cap she looked much older, and the bag across her shoulder, made her look a little like a military man. __ __ meter maid, may I inquire discreetly, when are you free to take some tea with me?" Hint: The song title actually is two words.
This morning we started our rounds in the street with a stop at Major Media to pick up Lisa's DVDs. It was nice doing business with such a happy and efficient staff. The videos will be on sale at the art exhibit in Chiang Mai next month.
Our visit to the Talat (market place) was actually an afterthought. The place where we get chicken sausage is across the street. We decided to go in and get some treats, and then I mentioned that I wanted to look for shirts. I knew there was a series of aisles, deep inside the maze, that carried men's shirts. We had looked before, but hadn't found any light-weight fabrics. I was ready to give it another try. Using my 'tracker sense' we made our way through the narrow passages and found two stalls that had what I was looking for. We got back to the main aisle without getting lost, which is no simple feat. We got our treats and a new basket for the dog toys.
A few weeks ago our friend Sutheera had discussed a project she was doing with some business students. They were to sell a product and donate some of the proceeds to charity. When she saw Lisa's T-shirts she asked if the students could sell them. It sounded like a good idea and today she and six students came over to the house and picked up the shirts. They will sell them at the Night Bazaar and Central Plaza this weekend. A portion of the sales will go to The Sold Project, and the rest will go to support an elementary school. In today's photo they are counting the shirts.
The weather forecast had called for rain today and tomorrow. This time they got it right and we had a storm that drenched our yards. Boot had gone to visit a friend and we figured she'd wait out the rain. When she finally got home we discovered that she got wet anyway. The dogs didn't get their afternoon yard time, but Daku and Lisa played a bit in the house.
It's time for Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
