Hi,
Chiang Rai had another day with a strange looking sky. It was like rain was a possibility, with a odd color mixed in for good measure. The forecasts are the usual mix of confusing statements, but they ultimately agree that it's going to rain. Afternoon winds have also been part of the equation for the last two days, but they bring nothing. (555)
Our 'Easy Monday' song was "Addicted to Love" by Robert Palmer. Here's a 'Zany Day' tune you may remember:
"As I was motivatin' over the hill, I saw __ in a Coupe de Ville. A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road, nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford. The Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five. She's bumper to bumper rollin' side by side. __, why can't you be true? Oh __, why can't you be true? You've started back doin' the things you used to do. Hint: Title is a woman's name, and she seems to have a need for speed.
Cool mornings are perfect for doggie play. Even though Daku sometimes has a wandering attention span, he was fairly active today. The grass is at a chewable length so he and BamBam take 'breaks' to do a little grazing. Today's photo shows the dogs taking a 'moment' at the same time.
It had been a couple of weeks since we'd been to Makro. This morning's shopping trip was a restocking adventure. One of the interesting things we noticed was the lower prices for chicken. Usually, when the price of something goes up, it doesn't come down. Whatever the reason, it was a welcome reduction. There didn't seem to be any shortages on the shelves so that means the roads from Bangkok are clear and goods are moving our way.
There has been rain in Bangkok and one of our friends posted some photos of rising water. It's not at a dangerous level, but it's not draining. So odd that we're hoping for a little rain to water things, and other parts of the country are hoping for clearing skies.
The Sold Project is celebrating 5 years with a new, updated video about the history and success of their work with at-risk children here in the Chiang Rai area. This project is very dear to us, as you know, so click on the link and learn more.
This evening we completed the last of our travel arrangements for our Winter visit to the U.S. It won't happen until December, but we've learned that the earlier the better when it comes to travel plans.
It's time for Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
