Hi,
Chiang Rai had rain over night, but today was a beautiful dry day. We went to the dentist and the art supply store. Such a busy day. Oh, and we planted a flowering plant that will climb the wall.
It looks as though the 'Easy Monday' song is really easy. Lots of responses. Here's a bit more just in case:
"Time can never mend the __ __ of a good friend. To the heart and mind ignorance is kind. There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find. I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm. Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool...." Hint: The singer has two first names and at times he's been rather careless. Hmm.
This morning we showed up for our teeth cleaning appointments. We got there early and then sat and waited. Dr. Oy is very nice and we both left her chair with shiny, clean teeth. Fortunately, we don't have to go back for any procedures. Yea. On our way out of the hospital we stopped by to see our nurse friend Pay. Next week she is going to help us get some tests done just to make sure we are as healthy as we feel. She works in what is called the 'Treatment Room'. They deal with drawing blood, and handling emergencies. It's been very busy at the hospital lately, lots of flu and colds. I am still fascinated by the way whole families come when someone is ill. You might see three generations waiting with one person. It's nice to see that kind of caring.
We went to the main art supply store for a few things. We had to park around the corner, by the Clock Tower. As we walked we counted four coffee shops at the big intersection. All of them seem to be doing well. At the store our friend Supaluk told us she was going to come to our party on Sunday. She asked if there would be other Thai people there. She doesn't speak English. Lisa assured her there would be plenty of Thais there.
The concept of recycling is slowly taking hold here in the North. Some collectors specialize in one item, like cardboard. I see trucks stacked with collapsed boxes making stops at various locations. They use a scale to weigh the cardboard and I guess they get paid to take it away. Then there are the 'I'll take anything' guys who load up with whatever will bring a price at the center. Below is one such collector. You will notice that he's not particular about what he will load on his trailer.

This evening we planted a small flowering bush that caught Lisa's eye at the garden center. When it fills out a bit I'll post a photo. It will be a nice splash of pink among the yellow flowers that are already lining the wall.
Have a Happy Tuesday.
Peace,
Danny
