Hi,
Another beautiful day in the Land of Smiles. This morning we went over to Tops for a few things. Once inside the building, we heard what sounded like kids singing/yelling something. Curiosity took us around a corner to a place called Music Palace. It's a series of clear plastic booths, each containing a video screen and a few chairs. The booth we were hearing had about six high school girls inside, singing along with the karaoke video of a popular group, at the top of their lungs. It was hilarious. Keep in mind, it was eleven o'clock in the morning. The other booths were all occupied, but they were singing to themselves. We walked away smiling and passed a guy who was also smiling.
"And you said you was never intendin', To break up our singing this way. But there ain't any use in pretendin' It could happen to us any day, __ __ has this been goin' on (repeat) Hint: Now really, do you need to be pushed off the edge? This was the second half of the only verse in the song. It shouldn't take long to figure it out. Paul got it right away.
This afternoon we went out to The Place. They're almost done with the concrete portion of the masts for the first floor. There was also a back-hoe digging holes for the water treatment tanks. There will be one on each side of the house and their purpose, as I understand it, will be to purify the waste water so it can be used for the gardens. We looked over the area at the rear, considering the placement of the pool. Yuthana showed us the pipes that were installed at the foundation which will secrete a liquid that will repel insects and varmints. Very interesting. Tomorrow, the pre-cast concrete flooring will be installed with a huge crane. I'll post some pics showing the guest bathroom and the living room/dining room area. Here's a chance to use your imagination. (Ha)
Driving observations: I mentioned before that it's survival of the biggest. It's also about the smallest taking what they can get. It's like a three-ring circus, navigating the streets. Motorcycles appear from out of nowhere, everybody turns when and where they think they can make it, and red lights are only a suggestion at some intersections. I think the highway is probably the only place where I'll be able to have a relaxing drive, maybe. Oh well.
Well, it's time to go out and have a Thrilling Thursday.
Peace,
Danny
"To know how to choose a path with heart
is so learn how to follow intuitive feeling.
Logic can tell you superficially where a path might lead to,
but it cannot judge whether your heart will be in it."
