Friday Funnies

Hi,

Today was cooler, but the haze/smoke was the worst yet.  Daku went to the doctor, and Cat went to her village.

The 'Zany Day' song was "England Swings" by Roger Miller.  Now, for some 'Old School Friday'. "Sunshine, blue skies, please go away.  My girl has found another and gone away.  With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom.  So day after day, I stayed locked up in my room.  I know to you it might sound strange, but __ __ __ __ __."  Hint:  We sing this song everyday.  I'm tempted to give more clues but I might rain on your parade.

This morning we had to take Daku to see Dr. View, his vet.  The hot-spot on his chin looked like it was getting better, but then it spread to another area and he needed relief.  Somehow, he knew something was up even before we went downstairs.  He senses things and when Lisa got his leash, he knew he was going for a ride.  At the vet's office there was no waiting and once he knew he was going to get taken care of, he relaxed.  He's a pretty good patient.  He got a couple of shots, and some medicine that should have him doing much better in a week.  When we got home he tore around the yard doing the 'crazy run'.  

On our ride to the vet's in Ban Du, we were quite surprised to see a group of serious bicycle riders out on the road with no masks.  Some outdoor workers were wearing them, but many weren't.  In the afternoon we saw an ultra-light pilot fly overhead.  That puzzled me since the air is so thick, there is really nothing to see.  Oh well.

Cat went to her village after her session at The Brain.  Tomorrow she will work with other students, making the final plans for the tree planting project.  Next weekend she will go to Bangkok with a teacher and a few students.  They will meet with other kids from different provinces and they will present their projects.  

We are still seeing forecasts for either rain or thunder storms over the weekend.  It would be so great if it actually happened.  This afternoon the sun was red.  I have a friend who lives in Chiang Mai and he said that some of the burning has forced some small animals (squirrels, cobras, lizards, etc.) from their habitats.  They have moved into his yard and he's hoping they will leave when things return to normal.  We are fortunate that we don't have open fires in our area.  At least not near us.  Life goes on and we stay inside as much as possible.  

Today's photo was taken in our front yard.  This delicate orchid really did its thing for spring.  


Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.   It's time for some 'Funnies'.

               Peace,
                         Danny
