Hi,
The weather in Chiang Rai is (blah blah please don't fall asleep) the same. The nights are cool with a 100% chance of music from across the river for the next three days.
The 'Zany Day' song was "Get A Job" by The Silhouettes. I want to thank my friend Barry for sending this link:

"Oh, life could be a dream (__-__) if I could take you up in paradise up above (__-__). If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love, life could be a dream sweetheart (Hello hello again, __-__ and hopin' we'll meet again..." Clue: The title is more of a sound than real words. This R&B classic has a pinch of jazz for good measure. Fun song.
Our morning adventure involved a trip to HomePro. The mission was to find a pressure washing machine to clean the terrazzo on our back deck. Terrazzo is made up of tiny little rocks and that means there are tiny little places for dirt and soot to collect. Once we found the department with the power stuff we were given a demonstration. The fun began when we tried to get help with hose couplings. It finally happened and we left with a pretty cool machine that Boot's brother will use on Sunday. One of the nice things about HomePro is the customer service. As we walked through the store, staff members were standing in front of each department, waiting to help customers. They all greeted us with a smile, even though we weren't asking for anything. Hmm.
It's ironic that we will leave Chiang Rai just as the temperatures begin to drop, and arrive in So. California to cold nights and cool days. Oh yeah, it's winter time. I did get a little practice in putting on layers so it should be a snap. That old question of what to take has been answered in one word: warm.
Today's photo was not taken by me, but is just a fun image from here in Thailand. It shows the sense of humor that some folks have.
Thailand is one of the fastest growing countries when it comes to the use of the internet, and the third biggest user of Facebook. The real question could be, how is it being used? It just hit me that many shop workers use the internet all day to pass the time watching movies on Youtube, playing on Facebook, and gaming. Of course, there are many that use it for research, communication, and business.
This afternoon we got a little sun after lunch and as the heat got intense I thought about the heavy rains on the west coast. We'll take a little of that if you don't mind.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. On to the 'Funnies'.
Peace,
Danny
