Hi,
The weather was good to us for most of the day. When the sun was not covered by clouds, it was blazing hot. This evening we're on our second little storm. More sightseeing was on the schedule for today.
Most of the usual players wrote to tell me the 'Zany Day' song was "Dr. Funkenstein" by Parliament (featuring George Clinton). This week's 'Old School Friday'song may seem easy for some, but I think it's time for easy.
"__, just a little bit longer. Please, please, please, please tell-a me you're going to. Now, your daddy don't mind, and your mama don't mind if we have another dance. Yeah, just one more, one more time. Oh won't you __, just a little bit longer..." Hint: Should be pretty obvious, but he doesn't want her to go.
The capsule version of the day goes something like this: I drove Claire to Bus Station #2 where she got a ticket for her Sunday departure, we toured Wat Rong Khun and were thoroughly amazed, had an afternoon swim that was followed by a rainstorm, had dinner at the Night Bazaar, saw the Clock Tower lights, and got home just before another rainstorm hit. Whew.
Cat is making a remarkable recovery from her two teeth extractions. Her spirits are good and the pain is lessening. Considering that she has to go through this again next Friday, most of the big fear is gone. She now has a scheduled date for the installation of the braces and has something to look forward to, although that's also gonna hurt.
We are in the beginning of a four day weekend. Today was a National Holiday, and one of the traditions during this celebration is to return to one's home village. For some businesses, this means closing, either because the help will be gone, or the owners are going on vacation. At our usual Sunday restaurant, Sawadee, they are leaving tomorrow and won't return until Wednesday. Hmm.
With so much rain, the river is looking healthy again and that familiar sound of the long-tailed boats is once again filling the air. When the river is very low, there are many places that are almost impossible to pass because the bottom is irregular. At a medium level it's sometimes necessary for the operators to get out and walk the boat around a sand bar. Today they could run free.
At the frame factory they are busy building a giant fish for an installation in Chiang Sen. Today's photo shows a large piece of foam that is being carved into a decorative shape. It will be sanded and then used to make a fiberglass mold to make the final object.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. Time for a laugh.
Peace,
Danny
