spiritual time out

I have two weeks left in the land of smiles and here I am without teeth. I have developed a too tired to stay up in the evening and then I wake up in the middle of the night...so the blogging and emails have gotten the short change.   My morning class has been very good this week...I am getting more of an opportunity to be conscious and aware and see some mirrors re wasting energy.  Being on the fourth floor with some interruption in the wifi...also adds some distance between the thoughts and words and the screen.  To be honest..I am having to look at some of my words and deal with more reading and less practice.  You have to practice to have a practice...   I love my funny blogs...I laugh out loud with my own life and think....what a hoot this all is... but in life you have a hoots and quiet and toots and flukes and other such things.  I am feeling very healthy and eating better...I never realized how much I love fresh lettuce.  The hydroponic lettuce and freshly made dressing... mmmm  I have had more baked potatoes on this trip than I have had in years.  When I was young and living at home, when I was trying to sort out life out, I would get up in the middle of the night and bake a potato...I never a bowl of ice cream.... I wore a slicker since it kept me dry rather than a trench coat that was cool....and while I always envied the cool people and still think...what would Joyce wear...and then grab a familiar.   I am comfortable not colorful....and it is ok....
So now to the blog.   Said bye for now to H&H as then wended their way back to Victoria.... got one cap in and fitted for the rest... I was trying to count.... how many are mine with fillings and how many are mine with crowns and how many are rootless fillers attached to others etc... but who cares.... I can still chew...and this is my NOW                        

 I had dinner last night with a man from upstate who is now living in Thailand and has hooked up with a woman from Libia... The met in southern Thailand and now she is back in Libia...working without pay.  He volunteers with the lost dogs of Chiang Mai.  I am not sure how anyone knows what is a lost dog.   This little Jack Russell  or at least in the Russell family.  The boy has balls..as you can see... he is sprawled in my scooter path at high noon on a very busy soi. This was a day of appendages... not only street balls...but look at that tonged. *tried to touch it..but couldn't organized the banana and camera.

Mom and Dad were very busy with the banana's but junior was just standing off by himself.  I don't remember really looking at the long necks....
I just could not put the picture of the baby ellie lying on the cement sleeping ...with no water and no place to run...

This is the reason I went to the zoo...Dr Lek said, every time he goes..the panda are sleeping.  Well I was there at 3..feeding time.  The baby was not going to face forward and the mom was sleeping.  dad came out and ate... and then plopped....this is dad in a plop.
Never thought about flamages other than the plastic ones..but this is a very attractive bird.
