Hi,
Today was a beautiful day in Chiang Rai. There were times when it looked like we might be consumed by rain, but it would blow away and leave clear skies.
One person got the 'Zany Day' song. It was "Wake Up, Little Susie", by the Everly Brothers. 'Old School Friday':
"You're __ __ __ __, but I still have your love to remember you by. Oh, my darling, dry your eyes, daddy's coming home soon. On my knees every day all I do is pray, baby, just for you. Hope you always want me too. Daddy's coming home soon." Clue: This classic has seen a lot of miles since the 60s. R&B ballad that had an answer song that was also a hit. About a long distance relationship.
In some areas of Northern Thailand, the army is distributing blankets in preparation for the cold season. There are many people who don't have the means to stay warm.
Our morning adventure centered in the Talat, the big market in the center of town. We were on a hunt for material to make pants. Parking was interesting this time. I was backing into a space that had a motorbike in a vulnerable position. Blue got out to guide me and just as we finished, a parking lady came running over. Normally she would have helped, but she was busy moving obstacles that had been placed in the street to save places. She wasn't having it. Inside the market we found pants material right away, and went looking for a silver chain for my new amulet. There are two gold shops in the Talat and one of them is just open tables, and the other is more like a store, with enclosed, glass cases. I'm guessing the open tables are a lower quality gold, and besides, who's going to try and steal something with so many vendors around? Anyway, I found a perfect chain and learned a lesson on materials. Some chains are made of steel, and others are silver. Now I know why some chains set off metal detectors.
This evening we took Daku to see Dr. Arnon, the vet. A blood test confirmed that he is healthy and tomorrow we will know if there is any Thyroid problem. While we were there, Dr. Arnon asked us to help him with some English questions. It was all about some signage at his Mae Sai clinic and how to word a phrase in English correctly. After rewording their idea so it sounded 'right', he was very happy and gave us some extra Thyroid for BamBam.
Tomorrow we're going to Art Bridge for a meeting about some tiny elephants. One of the major motorcycle companies has donated 60 little elephant statues to be painted by artists from Art Bridge and Lisa was chosen to be one of the artists. We'll get the details and might just come home with a little animal.
Blue shot this photo of one of the flowers in our yard after the rain a few days ago. We get so used to seeing the flowers that it's sometimes easy to forget the individual beauty that each one possesses.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. It's time for the 'Funnies'.
Peace,
Danny
