• I love squirrels. The grey ones hang around our yard. We have a bird feeder and massive trees which pulls them into our yard. They clean up the maple seed helicopters nicely.

    Our dog is insufficient to keep them out. She can get within a few feet of them, but they don’t consider her a threat.

    They are always busy and fun to watch.

    Thailand has squirrels and they look cooler than the gray squirrels we have. This guy was at the Grand Palace. All the people around didn’t seem to bother it.

  • There is a high-end mall near the Bangkok mall and there is a Krispy Kreme booth there. It had your standard glaxed donuts and then a bunch of varieties. So many to choose from….

  • We had a layover at this airport and it is beautiful. They have newer tech than other airports I’ve been at recently. Including bidets in half the men’s bathroom stalls.

    We had to walk from one end of Terminal 2 to the other. There was a crazy number of high shops, at least a half-dozen of them were just high end purses. There was even a Prada store and I’m fairly certain I have never seen one of those.

  • Enroute to Bangkok. As I write this, I am standing in a galley in the middle of the plane on our flight across the Pacific. Sitting for long periods of time is problematic, especially on seat with, shall we say, limited padding. I need to walk around frequently to avoid sleeping butt cheeks.

    The flight is 13+ plus hours and I just watched Rocketman and The Black Panther and rediscovered Backgammon. I would like to write, but the plane is rigged for sleeping so all the lights are off and everyone around me is sleeping. I should be, but, again, the seats are my enemy.

    At least my wife insisted on paying a bit extra for more leg room which helps. The dude in front of me is a seat-full-back kind of guy and I appreciate not having the movie screen in my face

    The plane takes a great circle route, heading up to Canada (north of Edmonton) and across Alaska before heading down the Russian coast. I gotta admit that I’m a bit relieved that we aren’t taking the Mercator projection straight route which would put us over water for most of the flight.

    Heading to a wedding…

  • Walked into Walgreens to this the other day. Stopped and watched it for a bit as the light and clouds slowly drifted into new shapes and colors.
