Path


Hi,

We're slowly crawling out of that creepy town called feverville.  The weekend was crazy, mostly in bed taking temps, trying various remedies, some moaning and groaning, and a bad taste in the mouth.  Now you know how we have been.

The 'Old School Friday' tune was "Baby, It's You" by The Shirelles in 1961.  It was later covered by The Beatles.  'Easy Monday' is next:  "__, you don't have to put on the red light.  Those days are over, you don't have to sell you body to the night."  Hint:  There is no surveillance involved, but the cops are all over this one.  The title is someone's name.   

As a result of the blahs, we didn't go to Central Plaza on Saturday to do our visa check-in.  We also missed the 9 Art Gallery exhibit opening.  You know you're expected at a function when people contact you to see if you're OK.  It's nice to be missed though.

On Sunday night Cat came home from her school trip.  She had lots to tell, but it was late.  Today she came up to our room with gifts from her trip, and showed us photos of her and her friends in different locations.  Even though school is on vacation, this is one busy teenager.  Tomorrow she will go to her sister's house, and next week she will go to Bangkok again, this time with The Sold Project as part of a tree planting project.  

The biggest news of the day was a phone call from iService, telling me that the fans for my laptop had finally arrived.  My poor computer has been called 'Mr. Noisey' and 'Buzzy Buzz-buzz' far too long.  I've had to leave it in another room unless it's asleep.  So, tomorrow I will get dressed and venture into the world and get my new fans.  I may not sleep tonight (555).

Today's  photo is a 'rolling landmark'.  This yellow pickup truck is a very popular food truck in Chiang Rai.  When you order your food, you get to sit down at a table in an impromptu sidewalk restaurant.  When the lunch rush is over, you can see the staff folding up the tables and chairs, which are stashed nearby.  The dishes are washed in the truck and then it takes off.  Not as fancy as the Western version, but you get what you want, eat on plates, and you know they'll be back like clock work.


Have a Great Week.

                Peace,
                           Danny
