Run

Hi,

We almost had a day without rain.  Late in the afternoon it happened.  It wasn't a storm, just a light watering, but wet anyway.  Tell me where you live and we'll send you some (555).

It seems that those memory banks need a recharge.  'Easy Monday' has slipped through your grasp.  Here's something that might help:  "I see a little silhouetto of a man, scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango.
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening to me.  Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo Figaro, magnifico..."  Clue:  This group comes from across the pond, very theatrical lead singer who pranced around with the microphone.  The song has many parts that create a little opera of sorts, about a man who believes he is possessed.

This morning we took Cat and part of her crew to school for their presentation.  Then it was off to run errands.  One of the nice things about living in a relatively small town is that nice feeling that comes from seeing the same faces and getting warm greetings.  Today we passed a bakery and saw a friend of ours inside with his toddler daughter.  We went in and had a brief conversation and continued down the street.  Got a smile and a wave from a cafe owner, a big smile from the lady at the herb shop, and a warm welcome at the health food store.  

There is a big intersection where the police station sits, and the traffic lights have been out for days.  I found this odd, since they had to notice.  Today we saw the reason: Brand new lights are being installed, with what looks like enough lights to control many directions of traffic flow.  Hmm, progress?  In the big market in the center of town there is a one-way street that used to flow into the market.  Now it flows out, which means access is more difficult.  Hmm, progress?

I find it curious that sometimes when we're out with Cat, people will ask if she is our daughter.  There is an expression that Cat told us that describes our relationship and that seems to clear things up.  In a way, it's rather flattering to think that we could be her parents.  Especially since I don't think either one of us look Thai in any way.  

Today's photo is another view of the giant Buddha being built north of us.  Next time I'm in the area I want to go right up next to it.  


Have a Happy Tuesday.

              Peace,
                        Danny
