Friday Funnies


Hi,

Chiang Rai had another day of dripping from the sky.  Nothing torrential, just a persistent sprinkle, all day long.  We had morning adventures at Central Plaza and a lazy afternoon.

The 'Zany Day' tune was Maybellene by Chuck Berry.  And now, for an 'Old School Friday' song that goes way back:
"Love, love me darlin', __ __ __ __ __, please don't send me, 'way beyond the sea.  I need you darlin', so __ __ __ __."
Hint:  The backgrounds might be a good hint:  "Dom dom dom dom dom doo bee doobie dom dom dom dom dom...."

This morning Cat's bus returned from Bangkok.  At 7am I drove down to the bus station.  Traffic was very light so it was a breeze.  On the way home we talked about the training she did and she told me that about 100 young people from around Thailand came to the event.  She also said there was a lot of rain in Bangkok.  

Later in the morning Lisa, Cat and I went to Central Plaza.  We got there just before they opened the doors.  It was nice to go into the mall without a lot of people.  While we were shopping in the kitchen area of Robinson, we spotted some LED light bulbs.  There were two kinds, and one was very expensive.  When we asked one of the salesmen, he took it out of the box and dropped it on the counter and it bounced.  We were all amazed, and realized why it cost so much.  We ended up buying the cheaper model.  (555)  We lunched at the mall and while we were eating, a sound check began right outside the restaurant.  There was a concert scheduled for the afternoon and by the sound of things, it was going to be very loud.  After lunch we did the Swensen's thing again and we had sorbet while Cat had a sundae.  She really wanted to  return for the concert since it's a Thai super star, but it was not to be.  Her school starts next week so we picked up some supplies, did some grocery shopping and went home.

This evening I tried to help Cat download a video to her phone, but I don't know much about Android phones and her phone is a small Samsung.  Eventually we'll figure it out.  She wants to put The Sold Project video on her phone so she can watch it without having an internet connection.  Hmm.

We have had our share of elephant adventures here in Thailand.  Today's photo was taken at Anantara Elephant Rescue Camp near the Golden Triangle.  The little guy wanted to come out and play, but the fence was just too frustrating.


Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.    Prepare for 'The Funnies'.

                    Peace,
                               Danny
