Hi,

We have been given fair warning that a major storm is on the way.  We know it’s going to happen because we got the van washed today (555).  The show begins late tomorrow night.  

This week’s ‘Zany Day’ song from 1967 has another memorable verse:  “I’m painting my room in a colorful way, and when my mind is wandering, there I will go.  Ooh, ooh, ooh, ah, ah.  Hey hey hey hey.”  Clue:  Leaky roof?

This morning was one of the mellowest yet.  We took the van to the carwash and walked a few doors to Work@Home for iced coffee.  It’s called Work@Home because the owners live in a house behind the coffee shop.  They run their tractor business from above the shop, so they’re always at home.  Today we noticed Thowan returning home in their Mini.  A few minutes later he was walking down the driveway.  Then he returned with the station wagon.  I went out to say hello and we had a fun conversation.  His wife, Katai, says he spends most of the day driving something.  At the end of our little talk he told me he was taking his bicycle to get noodles for his mom, then driving the Porsche to her house for lunch.  I think Katai is right (555).

Atom came over this afternoon to help Lisa with names and translations for her newest artwork.  The exhibit isn’t until mid-October but the prep starts now.  Tomorrow morning we will take the new work out to Khun Todd for framing.  It will be nice to go out into the country.  We haven’t seen the expanse of rice since the rains began.  The magical Doi Din Dang is not far from the frame factory so we’ll drive there for a walk around and coffee.  The ceramics in the gift shop are always a treat to see.  It’s also a great place to take photos of nature.

Today’s photo is the last in the ‘Morning at the Mall’ series.  I noticed the composition while riding down the escalator.  I had to go back upstairs and ride down again with my camera ready in order to bring you this shot of a food table waiting for the lunch crowd.

Neetchanon got some shots today and it left her in a very cranky, ‘what’s happening to me?’ mood.  There were no smiles, just some whimpering.  She’ll probably be fine tomorrow, but it’s hard to see her like that and not be able to do something.  

Have a Thrilling Thursday.

                  Peace,

                            Danny
