Hi,
Today is Friday in Chiang Rai. I checked to be sure (555). We paid a visit to our friendly DMV this morning, and this afternoon I traveled east of town.
Only one person got the 'Bad Ass Bass' song. My friend Frank knew it. 'Old School Friday' should be easy so here goes: "Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw. Had two big horns and a wooly jaw. __ __, __ __. __ __, __ __ (and so on...) Clue: It's from the 60s, it's kind of a novelty dance song, and the two words in the title rhyme.
It's that time of year when the registration on our car is due for renewal. After getting the proper papers from our insurance company, we drove out to the DMV building. We were totally prepared to spend a little time either in lines or going from one window to another. When we got there we parked by the door, walked right up to the counter and apparently had everything in order. The woman behind the counter did a bunch of things with papers and when she began stamping several things I knew we were almost done. We were in and out in about 10 minutes. That's got to be a record, in our experience. In the photo below, the gentleman came into the DMV to take care of some business. No one was bothered by the fact that his face was completely covered. It was part of his work attire. Hmm.
Who Was That Masked Man?
This afternoon I drove out to New Life Foundation and had a session with some of the clients. The area has lots of farm land and it's always amazing to see 'oceans' of rice. At New Life they're growing lots of different plants for food. There are volunteer residents who come to the center to learn/practice meditation and yoga techniques and work in the fields. They just planted a stand of bamboo and have been making bricks out of mud to build houses. It's all about sustainable living.
The rain came this afternoon and decided to stay a little longer. We didn't swim yesterday and had to miss today because of the rain. Maybe tomorrow will be a swimming day.
We'll be going to Central Plaza tomorrow for the opening of a photographic exhibit that features work by two artists that we know. One is Thai and the other is French. The exhibit will be in the Robinson department store. It should be interesting.
Have a Wonderful Weekend. Now it's time for the 'Funnies'.
Peace,
Danny
A shoplifter was caught red-handed trying to steal a watch from an exclusive jewelry store. "Listen," said the shoplifter, "I really don't want any trouble either. What do you say I just buy the watch and we forget about this?"
The manager agreed and wrote up the sales slip. The crook looked at the slip and said, "This is a little more than I intended to spend. Can you show me something less expensive?"
