Doubt

Hi,

It's Wednesday evening and we are safe and sound in Chiang Rai.  The air was hot and humid after a rain.  Later it rained again.  Welcome to the rainy season.

This week is a little out of sync, but I'll try to catch up.  The 'Easy Monday' song was "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane, but most of you knew that.  We'll do a quick run with a 'Zany Day' song and then close out the week with some 'Old School'.   "Well, she got her daddy's car and she cruised through the hamburger stand now.  Seems she forgot all about the library like she told her old man now.  And with the radio blasting, goes cruising just as fast as she can now.  And she'll have __ __ __ 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away."  Hint:  What?  It's easy, the title is three words and they're all the same.

Our trip across the Pacific took 14.5 hours.  In Hong Kong we had time to walk two long corridors in the airport, have a cup of coffee and go to the gate for our next flight.  It became clear that sending my daily message was not going to work.  There is something very strange about sleeping on an airplane.  We slept a lot but woke up tired.  The entire trip from door-to-door was 27 hours, just for perspective.

I always wonder about the people I see in airports.  When you consider that there is a story accompanying each person, the imagination could stay busy all day.  This morning we saw families with small children walking through the airport.  The sense of a pending adventure was obvious on their faces.  

Today's photo is an amazing digital installation at LAX, in the Tom Bradley Terminal.  Each vertical panel changes, with some parts spinning.  There are no moving parts, it's all done with 'digital magic'.  It's a contribution from Sydney, Australia.  


Returning to Chiang Rai International Airport was the biggest contrast of all.  When we landed and approached the terminal, ours was the only plane on the tarmac.  That's a big difference from the heavy traffic at all of the other airports.  

We didn't get to relax when we got to our house.  Daku has a giant hotspot/infection so we had to take him to the vet.  The patient is resting 'uncomfortably' and will get lots of love.

The lids are getting very heavy.  Time to call it a day and surrender to Mr. Lag.  

Have a Thrilling Thursday.

               Peace,
                         Danny
