Hi,
We are now getting settled in our cozy little spot in Culver City. More about what it took to get there after the song.
Since we missed a day, this week’s ‘Easy Monday’ song will be a tune I’m sure everyone knows. At least I hope so.
“Sugar-pie honey-bunch, you that I love you. __ __ __ __, I love you and nobody else…” Hint: Four guys from Detroit who have no control.
Tonight, as the plane made its approach to LAX, the lights were dazzling. Especially the freeways in their bumper to bumper streams of white light on one side and red on the other. Like peppermint ribbons winding through the landscape. The fog near the coast played tricks with my eyes, making it look like there was open space when I knew something should be there.
One hour passed from deplaning to our exiting Border Control and baggage. When we arrived at our rental car we met a new challenge. How do you start a car with no key? There was no place to put the supplied key and a quick look in the manual was confusing. I finally remembered a car we got years ago that had this ‘modern’ feature. Step on the brake and push the start button. How simple, yet so complex. It may take a day or so to learn to use all the controls. Things are a lot simpler in Thailand. Oh, and it’s nice to have a heater in the car.
Tomorrow will be filled with such exciting things as opening a pile of mail, wrapping gifts, getting our phones working, and finding things for me to eat. We will also be awaiting the arrival of Mr. Lag (555).
Today’s photo is another memory from Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok (now you know why I used BKK). It’s one of many floral displays on the long walkways between terminals. This one is all orchids.
Have a Happy Tuesday.
Peace,
Danny
