Hi,
Chiang Rai had another hot day. There had been indications that the cold season was coming, but I think it's on hold.
Wow, a bunch of you knew this 'Zany Day' song. It's a lot of fun, especially if you can visualize the scenes.
"Commercial came on, so I got up to get myself a snack. You should've seen what was going on by the time that I got back. Down in the old abandoned mine, sweet Sue was a-havin' fits. That villain said, 'Give me the deed to your ranch or I'll blow you all to bits'. And then he grabbed her (and then?), he tied her up (and then?), he lit the fuse to the dynamite (and then? and then?). Ack-ack, and then __ __ __. Tall, thin __, slow-walkin' __....."
This morning the yard crew came to do their thing. During the rainy season everything grows so fast that things need attention more often. There was a misunderstanding about our bamboo plants today. They were trimming it when we returned home and I told them to stop cutting, but the cutting continued. Later, Lisa told me I'd be disappointed with the result and I was. Instead of a bushy, naturally growing bamboo plant, we have a manicured stalk with a burst of leaves at the top. It's not OK.
Our adventure today included a massage, followed by lunch at Central Plaza. Mid-day Wednesday is a lot less crazy than the weekends at the mall. During lunch Blue and I discussed the community center aspect of the mall. Not only does it provide activities and events, but there are full-service branches of all the major banks, and counters where you can pay various bills, like power, internet, and TV services. There are semi-fancy restaurants on the upper level, a low cost food court near the theater, and traditional food served on the lower level. With Chiang Rai expanding the way it is, it's nice to see that within the growth, there is a place where community can be nurtured.
This evening our friend Rachel came by with some photos of Cat and her mother. When asked if the photos would make her feel happy or sad she said, "Both". The pics were taken when Cat was 10 years old. We all went to dinner at Sawadee Restaurant at the Night Bazaar and had a fun time. It's always good to see her and hear about the growth of The Sold Project.
Today's photo was taken at the frame factory, where the little elephants for the art project are being made. This little guy is the model. You're getting an early look at what the artists will be working with.
Have a Thrilling Thursday.
Peace,
Danny
