Friday Funnies

Hi,

Looks and sounds like Songkran is over. There was wind this afternoon that felt like it might bring rain, Leah played in the little pool, and Daku's favorite toy finally broke.

I'm so happy you knew "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix. Sam gets a 'speshun' prize for answering Thai style. He simply wrote 'Purpen Haze'. Outstanding. Now it's time for 'Old School Friday'. "Every Southern Belle is a Mississippi Queen, down the Mississippi down in __ __." Clue: That's the tag line to the song which was a hit around '60/'61 by a guy with a clever money moniker.

We were curious as to whether all the water play would end after the last day of the festival. It seem like last year it just went on and on. This morning, when I went out, there were no water stations. There were still a few pick-up trucks with bands of water-tossers but that was about it. What I hadn't planed on were all the closures. I figured folks would open their shops but I guess they just took the whole week off. I did manage to get the last cartridge of printer ink, so our artist in residence can continue with her creative flow. I told the guy I needed lots of ink and he told me he'd have more tomorrow. They always say that, with a smile. I'm learning to take it in stride.

Midway through our swim this afternoon, Jindah and Leah returned. This time they brought something for Leah to wear in the pool. She hung out in what we now call the 'little pool'. It used to be the 'sitting' pool, but lately it's being used by little people as a wading area. We're going to get some child-size life jackets for the kids who come over.

This morning Daku and I were out playing catch with his favorite toy. It's a little yellow football that used to make a squeeky sound. We throw it, he runs and gets it and, when he's really into it, brings it back for another toss. That's only after a brief game of tug-o-war. Well, this morning the ball with the split finally broke in half. I threw half of it on the ground and he ran over and examined it, pushed it with his nose, pawed it, and then decided to just chew it. I took it from him and explained that eating the toys was not OK. The green toy is not very exciting. Hmm.

It's time for the 'Funnies'. Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.

Peace,
Danny

Small Town Sheriff

In one small rural town the sheriff also fulfilled the role of the
town's veterinarian. One night the phone rang. The sheriff's wife
answered.

An agitated voice inquired, "Is your husband there?"

"Well, do you need him as the sheriff or the vet?" the wife asked.

"Both," came the reply. "We can't get our dog's mouth open, and
there's a burglar in it!"
