Unique


Hi,

The rainy season has returned, slightly.  The month of October always has some rain days, but this is getting ridiculous. It would be nice if they were spread out through the month, but it looks like they're all coming back-to-back.  Oh well.

So far, only three people have responded to the 'Easy Monday' song.  The next verse begins with a word that sounds like the title.  There, I said too much.  "Perish is the word that more than applies to the hope in my heart each time I realize, that I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams, that I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes, that I am not gonna be the one to share what seems to be the life that you could __ as much as I do yours..."  Hint:  You've had your ration of hints on this one (555).

This morning we took the dogs out after the rain stopped.  Daku was in good form and concentrated on getting his ball.  BamBam has this thing she does that I find interesting.  If a horn honks out on the street, she runs to the gate, like someone is here to see her.  Hasn't happened yet, but she keeps hoping.  The grass is at a length that the dogs seem to think is too long and it's their job to chop it down.  Sometimes they lose focus, but then, they are dogs after all.

The grass isn't the only thing that likes to grow fast with all the rain.  The banana trees also like it.  Today's photo is the 'original' banana tree.  You can see that it is now much taller than me and will probably consume the skyline in about a year.  


This afternoon we had a visit from our friend Alan.  We had a long talk about life in Thailand and quest for happiness.  Hmm, sounds like a universal topic.  He lives east of the city so we plan to take him on a tour of Chiang Rai so he can get to know the landmarks and places to go.  That should be fun.

Cat returned from her sister's today.  We spent some time making adjustments to the 'house laptop' that she will use for her schoolwork.  The main thing was changing the language from English to Thai.  For some strange reason, when the language was changed, certain keys on the keyboard changed function.  Once we figured that out it got better.  Now she can write papers, do Facebook, email, and generally access the outside world.  It is a different time we live in, that's for sure.

With more rain in the forecast, we will be brave and go out into the world and do things.  Yeah, that's what we'll do.

Have a Happy Tuesday.

                  Peace,
                             Danny
