This morning we had a weather encore: a morning storm that had a serious downpour. The backyard was a lake and there was water all around the house. After 30 minutes of hard rain and 30 minutes of showers, it was over. The rest of the day was clear and warm.
The ‘Zany Day’ song was “Honky Cat” by Elton John. ‘Old School Friday’ isn’t his oldest hit, but memorable:
“Goodbye, Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all. You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled. They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain. They set you on the treadmill and they made you change your name. And it seems to me you lived your life like a __ __ __ __. Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in…” Hint: About a fragile flame.
This photo shows JaiDee viewing the aftermath of the storm, wondering what is happening.
We got a message from Kwan at The Wanderer telling us that 'wooden' bones for JaiDee had arrived. That meant our morning destination had been decided. Off we went, and after we were settled at our table, Mercy came bounding in to give Jai Dee a big greeting. He jumped up and they started communicating. Mercy wanted to play and so did JaiDee. With his leash undone, JaiDee was free to move around with Mercy. She kept going toward the door and looking back to see if JaiDee was following, but we held him back. He’s not old enough to run through the woods with an older woman (555). When JaiDee got his bone he went right to work. It’s just what he’s needed for that puppy teething thing he’s going through.
This afternoon we went to immigration for our 90 day check-in and to find out if we needed health insurance at our next visa renewal. The answer to that question was a quick ‘no’. This was a big relief since it would be very expensive due to our age. We were also informed that we can do the check-in online, saving a trip to the office. The way it stands, we only have to show up for our visa renewal. Yea.
From the immigration office, we went on a new adventure. I had a doctor’s appointment in Mae Chan. Usually we would take the Super Highway north to Mae Chan, but since we were next to the new bypass road, I decided to take it north. There are very few traffic lights, and very little traffic. It’s almost like a freeway. A new portion had been opened and it took us farther than expected. We took the same road home and it was super quick, considering it was Friday afternoon. Progress does have it’s perks.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. Time for the ‘Funnies’.
Peace,
Danny
