Path

Hi,

This morning we woke up to a light drizzle.  There was a Sold staff meeting at our house while we went looking at cars.  The Festival of Loy Krathong has begun across the river.  

So far, only a few of you remember this week's 'Zany Day' song.  The singer has referred to himself as a poet.
"You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely but you know you only used to get juiced in it.  And nobody has ever taught you how to live out on the street and now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it... To be on your own with no direction home, like a complete unknown, __ __ __ __?"  Clue:  I can just hear The Rolling Stones doing this one.

While we were hoping for a nice soaking, this morning's drizzle was enough to get things in the yard wet.  By the afternoon the sky was looking as blue as ever.  Hmm, there is still a forecast for rain.  

Earlier in the week we volunteered our house as a place for The Sold Project to hold their staff meeting.  They wanted to meet in town and then go to lunch.  We're close to town so the seven staff members had a dynamic meeting around our dining room table.  

We had an interesting time at a used car lot north of the city.  Our goal was to find out if we could find a nice SUV a few years old.  Communicating with non-English speakers about car stuff can be tricky.  Based on what we think we understood when we walked away, it was a pretty good deal.  At another lot they had left the windows open on the vehicle and it was full of mosquitos.  Not so good for sales.  The trip was successful in that we have some starting points.  

Watching American Football I wondered how people used to the metric system relate to all the terms stated as yardage.  Just one of those important things that run through my mind.

Today's photo was taken last night at the Lanna Lantern Festival.  This group of tiny musicians had just started their 'set'.


Have a Thrilling Thursday.

                 Peace,
                           Danny
