Hi,

This was the day the weather folks had all wrong.  They predicted lots of rain, we got none.  It was a good thing, since we needed time to dry out after the last new days.  

“You came upon a quiet day, you simply seem to take your place.  I knew that it would be that way, the moment that I saw your face… __ __ __ __ __ __ __, I would have liked you anyway…”  Clue:  The group took us from daydreams to summer in the city and back again.  The source of their name comes from a blues tune.  

There are some streets in our area where the police set up little surprise road-blocks.  Sometimes we see them searching a vehicle.  Our street is a nice short cut between two major thoroughfares.  We’ve been told that they could be looking for anything from drugs to refugees.  We are usually asked where we are going and when we tell them ‘home’, they wave us through.  Downtown, in front of the police station, there is a regular motorbike check that most people expect.  One block south, on a one-way side street, there is another check, just in case you thought turning left would avoid the check.  When I figured this out, everything became clear.  Life in the little big city.

We spent the day at home again.  Lisa has been in her studio, working on a paper sculpture of a face mask.  We’ve also been researching our trip to Bangkok at the end of October for the opening of an exhibit where some of her paper work will be shown.  It’s been a long time since we were in Bangkok for more than one day of business.  We would like to spend a little time as ’tourists’ while we’re there.    

Today’s photo was taken this morning while we were walking the dogs.  This is ‘Blue’s Tree’, still thriving and reminding us of him.  It took a lot of work in the beginning, but now it’s really maturing.  

At the Formula 1 race last weekend in Italy, Alexander Albon came in third place.  He is Thai/English and chose to race under the Thai flag, even though he was raised in England.  We’ve been rooting for him since he joined the Red Bull Racing team last year.  It’s the first time in the history of Formula 1 that a Thai driver has reached the podium.  Zoom!

Have a Happy Tuesday.  

                     Peace,

                               Danny
