Reason

Hi,

I can’t say that the air looked good today, but this evening it was listed as good, and the stars were twinkling.  It was a hot one.  We’re not sure what season this is anymore.

The ‘Zany Day’ song is by a group whose name includes the lead singer.  “Oh, I’m not aware of too many things.  I know what I know, if you know what I mean.  Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks, religion is a light in the fog.  I’m not aware of too many things… __ __ __ is __ __ __.  Are you what you are or what?  __ __ __ is __ __ __, are you what you are or what?  Clue:  I know, I’m still trying to figure it out too.  There’s a bit of Popeye in the title, if that helps.

We stayed at home all day.  There was a laid back feeling to it all.  Natcha, Gong and Nitchanan went to Mae Sai this morning, to take care of Chopper’s anti-tick shots and to visit with Gong’s parents.  That meant we spent the day ‘taking care’ of JaiDee.  He was pretty mellow for most of the day.  We have to remember that he’s still a puppy and is subject to bouts of crazy (555).  

Natcha made us lunch before they left, and that was awesome.  She really goes out of her way to make sure we’re alright.  When they came home in the afternoon, she made dinner and boiled the herbs.  Whew.

Last week we went to Little C for a few things and I took a photo of a rack of ‘Sun Products’.  I did so because it showed the range of the relationships with the sun.  From the top there were sun blocking products because if you’re local, you really don’t want a tan.  If you stayed too long in the sun, the next row can help to heal you.  The next row is for the foreigners who, for some strange reason, want to have a tan and then there are more healing ‘remedies’.  On the ends and bottom, there are the ever present whitening agents.  Diversity in the sunshine.

Our balcony has a steel railing that has vertical bars for protection.  When JaiDee was just past being a baby, we’d take him out there and he’d put his head between the bars and rest his chin in a horizontal rail and survey the world.  A few days ago he put his head between the bars and had difficulty pulling it out.  With some help from Lisa, he managed to turn his head just the right way and get free.  We haven’t been on the porch since.  We’ll wait until there is no way for him to get stuck, then take him out there again.

Now that the evenings are warm, the walking track has a lot more ‘walkers’.  That can be problematic with a curious, social butterfly puppy.  So many folks to greet, so many distractions, etc.  Life on the edge of town.

Have a Thrilling Thursday.

                        Peace,

                                  Danny
