Hi,
Blue sky and warm temps pretty much describes the current weather pattern in Chiang Rai. It was a perfect day to continue with the errands that got cut short yesterday.
The 'Song of '78' was "Hold The Line" by Toto. Second day clues brought lots of mail. Now it's time for 'Old School Friday', and we go back to 1961. "__ __ my love has come along. My lonely days are over, and life is like a song."
Clue: This song, written in 1941 became an R&B/Pop smash for the singer who told us to 'Tell Mama' and tried to
get Henry to dance with her. The two word title is synonymous with 'finally'.
This morning we started out with an amended list from yesterday. We began our adventure on Bus Station street at the health food store. After interviewing the owner we learned that business has been good with all the tourists in town. Next stop, Big C where they finally have our favorite water back in stock. On the way to the vegetable section I ususally try not to let my eyes wander over into the meat section. Today they wandered and I spotted fresh tentacles. What? There were other things I couldn't even identify, then I quickly turned my head. In the produce section we found the mangos, which are wrapped in a foam sleeve to keep them from being bruised. Nice touch.
Our last errand of the day was a stop at 7-11 to pay our utility bills and put more money on my phone. We passed by Mengrai Square where bamboo umbrellas and benches were being arranged for a future ceremony/celebration. There used to be beautiful flower gardens on two sides of the square, but they have been removed to make room for this special year's events.
This afternoon our neighbor across the street got a visit from one of the big 'Dragon Crews'. A truck containing about 15 young men pulled up and they began beating their drums and cymbals. Then they put on the Dragon and went into his yard to do their thing. A little while later there was a flurry of fire-crackers and it was over. He has them come every year at this time.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. It's time for the 'Funnies'. Big thanks to my friend Claire for the laugh.
Peace,
Danny
