Hi,
It’s still hot in Chiang Rai. It’s still hot everywhere in Thailand. We had brief rain at night, so things are getting watered. Today started out cooler due to a light rain last night, but the sun broke through and the heat was back. Pool time was on time.
The ‘Old School Friday’ song was “Roll Over Beethoven” by Chuck Berry. It’s time for an ‘Easy Monday’ song.
“It’s been __ __ __ __, and I’d been working like a dog. It’s been __ __ __ __, I should be sleeping like a log. But when I get home to you, I find the things that you do, will make me feel alright.” Hint: Title has a play on words relating to evening employment. It was the title of this groups first film.
There has been a lot of activity on our bridge. While all of the traffic is going over the new section, workers are busy building a matching concrete rail for the original side. This weekend, machines began putting down asphalt on a section of the road leading to the bridge. It looks like we’re going to get a resurfaced section of the road leading to the bridge, and a layer of asphalt on the bridge itself. We were worried that the bumpy concrete was going to be the final surface. The new side also got new lights. They are very tall poles with fancy gold ornaments at the top. Photo coming soon. Oh yes, and chicken guy has left his BBQ with the little girl tucked in a corner by the side of the road. Maybe he will return when it’s finished.
Sunday morning, on our way to Big C, I hit the lever for the windshield wipers instead of the turn signal. I laughed and said I was practicing for our trip to America. Blue and Lisa got it right away, but Cat didn’t have any way of knowing why we were laughing. Lisa explained the ‘lever layout’ in American cars and she immediately got the joke. It doesn’t mean that I won’t be turning on the wipers when we get there (555).
This morning Blue and I went to the Post Office. In the parking lot we saw today’s photo. Not only was she selling reading glasses, but giving eye exams right there on the spot. We’ve seen this before. Maybe it’s so people can read their mail (555).
It’s getting to be the time for lists. I need a list of things for the ‘Tech bag’, and things for the plane. Traveling for 26 hours requires things to watch on various devices, just in case the movie menu is lacking. There’s also the supply of supplements needed to keep the physical me comfortable (55). Oh, and how many pairs of socks, etc. It all seems boring until you get there and realize you forgot something.
Have a Great Week.
Peace,
Danny
