Chiang Rai had another rainless day. Not complaining a bit, just noting that a break in the rainy season is always nice. Tomorrow should be in the high 80s (555). It will probably go over 90.
The first song in the ‘Jazzy Wednesday’ series was “Dat Dere” by Oscar Brown, Jr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o_8Ek9Hzu0 The music was written by jazz pianist Bobby Timmons, the lyrics by Mr. Brown. I hope you enjoy this special collaboration. Oscar was a major influence on my music back in the early 60’s. Now it’s time to go way back with an ‘Old School Friday’ tune. The year was 1956 and this was on the radio: “It brings a tear into my eyes when I begin to realize. I’ve cried so much since you’ve been gone. I guess I’ll __ __ __ __ __.” Hint: Trying to keep his head above water.
Yesterday I forgot to tell you about the rest of our morning. We took JaiDee to Dr. View, the vet, to see her groomers. He has fur that grows between his toes (we know they’re not toes 555) and when it gets long, he slides on the floors. He won’t let us trim the hair, but at the groomers they know what to do. They get anywhere from 3 to 5 attendants to hold him down and they get the job done. Lisa couldn’t go into the area to watch, but afterward she asked Dr. View how it went and she said that he was “very naughty”. Hmm, one can only imagine.
Today our morning adventure didn’t include ‘puppy boy’. Since it was Friday, we thought we’d get a head start on getting a few things done. The first was a trip back to the mall. We thought they opened at 10am so we got there a little early, had coffee at Starbuck’s and then discovered that the mall is back to the 11am start time on Fridays. We continued with our ‘quest’ and went to HomePro. A friend in Chiang Mai raved about his air fryer, something I still don’t understand, but we decided to get one. The answer we got, for the particular brand, was ‘no have’. The kitchen faucet on the list was also not there. Most of the big stores we went to didn’t have what we went for, but we managed to come home with a few small necessities. I guess the blue shirt I was urged to buy could be considered a necessity.
While we were out, the installer from the internet company came and extended our WiFi to cover the whole house as well and Natcha and Gong’s place. Everybody is very happy about this.
The government is going to ‘seal’ the border with Burma in order to make sure that no untested ‘visitors’ enter the country. Apparently there have been cases of smuggling workers over the border and this is how the virus can spread. In light of what’s happening in various parts of the world, it’s a good idea.
Since it’s almost his birthday, here’s another flashback to the real baby days. “Baby JaiDee".
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. Time for the ‘Funnies’. There’s another Formula 1 race this weekend. Zoom!
Peace,
Danny
