Hi,

What can I say, it’s getting hotter by the day.  The poor air quality is back, which means we can’t slide into the pool.  It’s been an air/con kind of day.

So the ‘Zany Day’ song was familiar to a few of you.  It’s a fairly early one from a band that’s been around over 50 years.  “The telephone is ringing I say, ‘Hi, it’s me, who is there on the line?’  A voice says, ‘Hi, hello, how are you?’  Well, I guess I’m doin’ fine.  He says, ‘It’s three a.m., there’s too much noise, don’t you people ever go to bed?  Just ‘cause you feel so good, do you have to drive me out of my head?’ Hey you, __ __ __ __ __.  Hey you, __ __ __ __ __…. Don’t hang around ‘cause twos a crowd…”  Hint:  This old band just keeps rolling along, but probably gathering a bit of moss.  

In this hot weather Daku spends less time downstairs.  He hangs with us in the bedroom.  The other day he did something interesting.  He went to the refrigerator and stood there.  Lisa gave him an ice-cube, which is usually what he wants.  This time he dropped the ice on the floor and just stared at the fridge.  He wanted one of his popsicles (frozen water with kibble).  Lisa figured it out, and he was one happy dog.  

 

We cruised into town this morning.  Today was a simple run:  Art supplies, mangos and coffee.  While driving I noticed lots of teens on motorbikes.  We saw several with 3 and 4 to a bike.  School will start soon, but there will still be lots of kids on the street.  When one considers that some of the recent grads will leave school after the 9th grade, while others will not go to college after grade 12, there will be thousands of young people either looking for work, working for family, or just roaming around.  Hmm.  Thailand has a huge population under 30 years old.  Now there’s a challenge.

Today’s photo was taken yesterday at the event downtown.  This is one of the largest looms I’ve seen in Chiang Rai.  They are usually the smaller Hill Tribe looms that wrap around the waist.  

Have a Thrilling Thursday.

                 Peace,

                           Danny
