Hi,
After a beautiful almost clear day, we are enjoying a night with no sound from outside. It’s eerie, yet quite pleasant. No explosions, no thumping bass, just silence.
The ‘Old School Friday’ song was “Oh, What a Night” by The Dells. ‘Easy Monday’ is next. Not a Cinderella story.
“I’m gonna wait ’til __ __ __, that’s when my love comes tumbling down. I’m gonna wait ’til __ __ __, when there’s no one else around. I’m gonna take you girl, and hold you, and do all the things I told you __ __ __ __.” Hint: Patience is the key, there is a time designation involved.
Saturday we did a very brave thing. We took both dogs back to Dr. View for a second round of tick shots. We had been told that they might need another, and she was right. When the dogs realized they were going with us, they got crazy. BamBam wanted to get in the van so bad she scratched up the passenger side door. Once they were inside and riding, they decided they wanted to sit in the middle row with Lisa. That doesn’t quite work, so she had her hands full keeping them in the back. In addition, every time BamBam made a sound like she was upset, it would set Daku into a protective tizzy and both dogs were bouncing around. They always know when they are going home, though. As soon as they got back into the van after their shots they were model dogs, sitting quietly looking out of the windows. Hmm, why can’t they do that on the way?
Even though Friday was supposed to be the final official day of Loi Krathong, the party continued across the river until Sunday night. It’s fascinating to watch holidays stretched out over more than one day, or an ‘eve’ and a day. For those of you in the U.S., try to imagine the 4th of July being observed for a week. It boggles the mind. The amount of trash generated is impressive. Today the riverbank park was empty and almost cleaned up, but it took a large crew most of the day.
Sunday we went to Central Plaza for school supplies and lunch. After lunch I decided I should stop by the Apple store and see if the new iPhones had arrived. They were released in Thailand on October 31, but apparently none of them were shipped to Chiang Rai. Well, they had them in stock and after what seemed like a long process, I left the store with a new iPhone 6 Plus. Since then, I have exercised great restraint and have shared my attention with other things in life (555). So many new things to explore.
Last week Blue took today’s photo of the temple at MaeFahluang University.
Have a Great Week.
Peace,
Danny
