Hi,
It was a beautiful day for moving around the city. Even with the increased number of cars on the road, it's still easy to get around. Life in a small town that's growing up.
The 'Easy Monday' song was a bust. One person got it, and another knew the artists. "I Feel Fine" by The Beatles. Shame on you. I'm sure I won't have to wait for replies to this 'Zany Day' song. It sees a revival once a year.
"I was working in the lab late one night when my eyes beheld a eerie sight, for my monster from his slab, began to rise and suddenly, to my surprise he did the mash. He did the __ __, __ __ __, it was a graveyard smash...." Clue: At the end of October there will be many strange things on the streets in America. This is just one of the stories in the costumed city (555). Get your dance on.
Living on the north side of the river puts us in a different zip code than the main part of the city. As a result, whenever we have to go to the post office, it's the one in Ban Du, which is a short drive up the Super Highway. I was discussing this with Johan, our pool consultant, and we decided there are pluses and minuses to the location. The main Chiang Rai post office is very close, but parking is very difficult. In Ban Du there is a big lot and no problem parking. That alone made the trip this morning not so bad. When we got there, no one was at the window, and many people were waiting. Hmm, this didn't look good. After a short wait, we got our package. There have been times when many piles of boxes had to be searched before finding the right one. Apparently, anything can be mailed if you're willing to pay the postage. I once saw a motorbike wrapped in bubblewrap and cellophane being taken off a mail truck on the dock.
This afternoon we all went down to the carwash. After the various rainy drives, the van was looking a bit tacky. There were no other cars at the shop and it made us wonder if rain was coming. It's not, so we left it and went to Doi Chaang to hang out. Cat's favorite beverage at Doi Chaang is their vanilla milkshake. Today she didn't get one because it was too close to dinner. Hmm, where have I heard that before? When we picked up the van, the woman who owns the place asked, once again, asked about Cat. She can be a little nosey, but we always have a polite answer. Eventually she will remember and that will be the end of it. Usually it's 'where have you been?' sort of questions.
Today's photo was taken by Blue. This temple is on the Super Highway near Art Bridge. Its decoration is typical, with the use of cut mirrors, tiles and paint, but what stands out is the use of stainless steel. That's what gives the chrome effect.
Time for Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
