Hi,
We've reached that time of year when the sky is cloudless, and the air is hot with a tint of smoke.
Sometimes even 'Easy Monday' can take two days to sink in. A few knew, but a lot forgot. Here's a bit more:
"When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go. And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving slow. Go ask Alice, I think she'll know.... Remember what the doormouse said: 'Feed your head, feed your head'." Clue: This tune was recorded by a band named for an old-fashion flying machine, and later a modern flying thing. If you can figure out who Alice is, then you're half way there.
This is also the time of year when various seeds begin their airborne migrations. We can tell when we start to see what look like cotton-balls floating through the air, and on the surface of the pool. There are baby birds all over and at times it sounds like we're living in an aviary. This frustrates BamBam because she thinks it's her job to make sure that no birds are in the yard. (555) Daku likes to play 'Hunter' and slowly stalk the birds. They look at him and take off just as he decides to lunge. He's more successful with flies.
There is a news article that is being posted in several Thai papers and in Facebook that I would like to bring to your attention. I have mentioned The Sold Project many times through the years, and this article gives a good overview of why it exists and some of the results. Just click, read and remember that the problem is not just happening in Southeast Asia, but all over the world. http://www.chiangraitimes.com/news/14614.html
I posted a photo of our banana tree a few months ago. Then I showed you the first cluster of babies. The whole thing has shed it's covering and if they all ripen, I'll be setting up a table on the road and selling bananas.
Wanna Banana?
This morning we went to an 'Everything Store' and it occurred to me that one of the things to see in Thailand is a store like this. Some day I will take a few photos just to give you an idea of the variety of goods that are sold. We got a tub for Daku to cool his feet, a bucket, and some steel wool. Could have picked up a rake, a machete, and some socks but didn't feel like it. (555)
Have a Happy Tuesday.
Peace,
Danny
it is not a gift but a trade."
