Hi,
So, today is Friday. I'm sure of it. We've gone two days without rain, but it's still hot and humid.
The 'Zany Day' tune was "Fun, Fun, Fun" by The Beach Boys. That can mean only one thing: Time for 'Old School Friday'. Here's a classic from the 60s that you should recognize with just a few words: 'Ooh, she may get weary, young girls, they do get weary..." Hint: It's the kind of information one might receive while sitting on the dock of the bay.
It's day two of our return and we got real bold and didn't take a nap. I'm not sure how this is going to work, since there was a brief 'fade' in the afternoon and now, in the evening Mr. Lag is tapping on my shoulder. If it will keep us from waking up while it's still dark outside, then it might be worth it.
We traveled around town a bit more today and noticed more changes. When we left for the states, there was a piece of land that had been filled, and steel posts had been put in the ground. I was curious as to what they were going to do. In just two weeks it went from that odd lot to a furniture store. That's what I'd call a quick build. The only thing that puzzles me is how things like mattresses and upholstered furniture can stay completely dry during the rainy season. The front is completely open and it has a tin roof. Oh well, they're doing business.
In our neighborhood there has been more activity on the 'Pink Bridge'. The frail wooden railing that has been torn down by the many wind storms, is being replaced by vertical steel poles with plastic mesh between them. We're still not sure why they tore the concrete railing down in the first place. The expansion work is being done on the other side. Someday the picture will become clear. In the meantime, a small crew is being paid for another temporary measure.
Sunday we will drive south to Chiang Mai for one night. A friend from the States just arrived there and will ride back with us and spend a few days seeing the sights. More on this next week. Looking forward to playing tourist/tour guide and seeing more of our town.
Today's photo is from the plane as we approached Chiang Rai. The countryside is lush and we could see the expanse of rice fields filled with water in sharp contrast.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. On to the 'Funnies'.
Peace,
Danny
