Hi,
Today was the coolest day in over a week, here in Chiang Rai. Could it be a prelude to the rain that's predicted for Saturday? It may have been cool, but it was also darker than usual. Very ironic since this is the first day of spring. It's the Vernal Equinox here in Thailand.
This week's 'Zany Day' song brought some quick responses. Here's a fun verse to ponder.
"Mama's old pajamas and your papa's mustache. Falling out the window sill, frolic in the grass. Tryin' to mock the way they talk, fun but all in vain. Gaping at the dapper men with derby hats and canes. __ __ like a pendulum do, Bobbies on bicycles, two by two..." Clue: It's across the pond, and it's doing something.
One of the big questions on everyone's mind is, 'Where does the haze come from?'. In a recent article in an expat newspaper we learned that some of it comes from the usual suspects, the people who burn their trash and yard waste. Now it comes out that various government agencies are also responsible for the haze. In some cities the people are asking the agencies to stop burning. Change is on the wind, along with a lot of smoke.
This evening we went to dinner with our friends Stephan and Claire. Flavola Italian Restaurant at Le Meridien Resort was our destination and the perfect occasion for Cat to wear her new dress. Stephan is the general manager of the hotel/resort and it's always fun to hear what's going on in 'the business'. This time of year is usually slow for tourism, since the High Season is over, but occupancy is high and there are a lot of Americans. While Lisa, Cat and Claire talked about books and things, Stephan and I discussed Formula One, things with wheels, and the possibilities for speedboat tourism on the Mae Kok River. (555)

Have a Thrilling Thursday.
Peace,
Danny
