I’m retired and living in Phang-Nga province, Thailand. Life’s too short to deal with negativity.

Washington, D.C., isn’t laid out for a Putin/Kim-style military parade. There’s no large “parade ground” (called that for a reason) with a big seating area for crowds and dignitaries. The United States has, instead, filed its public spaces in the nation’s capital with monuments honoring its heroes.

I thought I’d share a fascinating thing I saw a couple of days ago on the @bostonandmaine livestream on YouTube.

We just passed a man and his elephant on the road to Surat Thani. No ropes. No chains. Just a man, looking down at his cell phone, walking beside his pachyderm.
I love Thailand!

I’m not exaggerating when I say I saw a spider like this (Huntsman Spider) in my bathroom this morning, and it was the size of my open hand. I heard it walking before I saw it, and I was just a little bit surprised.
Well, that’s life in the province. 🤷🏼♂️

I sadly watch from the sidelines as the United States descends into autocracy and eschews democracy. I fear for the future of my fellow Americans.

My partner’s daughter graduated from university and received her diploma directly from hand of the King of Thailand. I thought it was pretty neat!

We had a Thai-style, sit-on-the-floor, pot-luck lunch today. The weather was perfect: overcast with light rain — more of a mist, really — that kept the temperature very comfortable.
If anyone is tired of snow, consider living here. 😁
