Hi,

This little weather blurb is about to become monotonous.  It was hot again in Chiang Rai.  To break the monotony, I will tell you that this evening feels warmer than last night.  Also, there is a 40% chance of rain tomorrow.  That means it won’t rain, but it will make you think it might.

This week’s ‘Easy Monday’ song is still a very popular song based on the responses.  I guess that means it’s easy.

“I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd.  I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.  I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words.  __ __ __ with his song, __ __ __ with his song….”  Hint:  It’s easy (555).  

Daku is having a flurry of hot-spots.  The first wave was a result of the hotdog treats that we give him during morning exercise.  They were not pure pork, but a blend with chicken, which causes hot-spots.  We stopped giving him the dogs and now he has another one.  The weather may play a part in this, we don’t really know.  In an effort to provide him with a treat ‘beyond kibble’ during play, we got some crab sticks today.  They’re not really crab meat, but taste like it.  After a label reading by Cat, we’ll try them tomorrow and see if he likes them.  He loves fish, so chances are he’ll go nuts.

This afternoon we had another visit from our internet provider.  We have this speedy fiber thing going on, but it often won’t open links when we click on them.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t and because it’s random, it’s hard to pin down the problem.  Two guys worked for about an hour trying different things but it is still not right.  We’ll call them back and, at their suggestion, replace the router with a new one. 

We had dinner at Central Plaza Mall with our friends Sutheera and Nukoon.  We had been curious as to why the parking lot was packed at 5:30pm and got our answer when Nukoon mentioned a big rally for the Chiang Rai United (CRUTD) Football team.  After dinner I walked to the middle of the mall to see what was happening.  The rock music had just begun and the crowd was beginning to roar.  There was a haze from the smoke machine and then they started screaming.  In groups of three, the team came out, struck a pose and was replaced by another group.  It was like being at a rock concert.  The hometown crowd loves their team.  The season starts soon and they’re building momentum to fill seats in the stadium.  Today’s photo will give you an idea of the crowd.

Tomorrow the pool work begins.  They have to pull out the failing grout and replace it, plus fill the earthquake cracks.  The timing couldn’t be better as far as the warmth is concerned.

Have a Happy Tuesday.

               Peace,

                         Danny
