Hi,

Well, of course it was hot.  What else would it be?  Another day of 100° in the shade on our balcony, and no rain in sight.  Oh, there were clouds, but they blew away.  

The ‘Easy Monday’ song was “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor.  Time for a ‘Zany Day’ oldie I’m sure you know:

“Take out the papers and the trash, or you don’t get no spending cash.  If you don’t scrub that kitchen floor, you ain’t gonna rock and roll no more.  __ __, don’t talk back.”  Hint:  A parent laying down the law around the house.  It’s from the catalog of zany hits by a group famous for that sort of thing.

This morning, after the dog walk, we went to Chivit Thamma Da.  JaiDee got a lot of attention from his fan club.  As soon as we hit the front door they were all over him.  Then, when we got to our table, there was at least one who always spends extra time, and today there were two.  His very special lady friend said, ‘Today I don’t want to work’.  She just wanted to play with JaiDee.  Her work friend echoed her sentiment and they giggled and continued to play with the puppy.  

Today’s photos were taken at the riverside area where we walk JaiDee in the mornings.  The second photo is the stuff he loves to investigate.  He never tries to bite the giant seed pods, though I don’t know why.

One of the problems with this extremely hot weather is that it doesn’t allow for the running of the dog.  When the days cool off in the late afternoon or evening, we can get him running around the yard.  Tonight was so hot it would not have been healthy to do that.  He’s so high-strung and if he doesn’t get his run after the evening walk, he’s a nut case.  Tonight was such a night.  He wants to play, but it turns into a biting thing that can’t be turned off.  The energy has to go someplace.  To make matters worse, someone in the neighborhood decided to burn plastic this afternoon and evening, meaning the air was horrible.  Other than that, life is good.

Gong, Natcha and Nitchanan went on a little adventure this afternoon.  They started out for the waterfall, but ended up at a Doi Chaang that has a play area and lots of Akha (Hill Tribe) food.  It’s on a mountain, so there was a breeze that kept them cool.  We’ll have to check this out.

It really does feel like a Wacky Wednesday.

                        Peace,

                                  Danny
