We had another beautiful day here in Chiang Rai. It rained last night, but nothing dramatic. I went to a new hair stylist today and we had coffee with a friend.
Congratulations to all those who knew the 'Zany Days' song was "Charlie Brown" by The Coasters. Now it's on to 'Old School Friday'. This one goes out to all those living in drought or near-drought areas: "Sunshine, blue skies please go away. The girl has found another, and gone away. With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom, so day after day I stay locked up in my room. I know it might sound strange, but __ __ __ __ __." Hint: I'm tempted to give you hints, but I'll just say: it's a weather thing.
This morning, after we exercised the dogs, I paid a visit to Ms. Lisa's Salon, located in the upstairs shower room. She did a marvelous job of reshaping my Mohawk with the new clippers. It's nice to be able to put my head in hands that I trust. At the other place I never knew who was going to cut my hair.
We went into town for mid-morning coffee with our friend Caty. She and her boyfriend Gobchai are going to America for 6 weeks and we wanted to hang out before they left. She has been in Thailand for almost as long as we have, and we had lots of stuff to talk about.
On the subject of living in Thailand, on September 1st we will have been here for 5 years. It's hard to believe that the time has passed so quickly. On September 2nd we're going to have a party to commemorate the anniversary.
On our way home from Doi Chaang Coffee this morning, we passed a bank that had a shrine on the front steps in honor of the Queen's birthday. Many public buildings and businesses have put up such shrines and patrons will often leave flowers, incense or candles after offering a prayer for her long life.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. And now, the 'Funnies' in honor of the beginning of school.
Peace,
Danny
Subject: Weird Science
A teacher compiled this list of comments from test papers, essays,
etc., submitted to science and health teachers by elementary, junior
high, high school and college students. As she noted, "It's truly
astonishing what weird science our young scholars can create under the
pressure of time and grades."
* H2O is hot water and CO2 is cold water.
* Water is composed of two gins, Oxygin and Hydrogin. Oxygin is pure
gin. Hydrogin is gin and water.
* Three kinds of blood vessels are arteries, vanes and caterpillars.
Blood flows down one leg and up the other.
* Respiration is composed of two acts, first inspiration, and then
expectoration.
* The moon is a planet just like the earth, only it is even deader.
* Mushrooms always grow in damp places so they look like umbrellas.
* Before giving a blood transfusion, find out if the blood is
affirmative or negative.
* For head cold: Use an agonizer to spray the nose until it drops in
your throat.
* To keep milk from turning sour: Keep it in the cow.
