POTD: On the Town

From 2015 03 16 Bangkok

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Bangkok, Thailand. It's a photo of five unknown women colorfully dressed up for a night on the town. I don't know about them, but we were headed for a dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River (I recommend it). I like to think they had an equally pleasant evening.

Filling City Council Vacancies - ctd

The commission appointed by the Richardson City Council to review the city charter made numerous recommendations for charter amendments. On June 22, the council deliberated what to do with those recommendations. I previously discussed those deliberations regarding one particular recommendation (filling a single vacancy on the council by appointment instead of a special election). Today, I want to add a postscript to that.

Wild (2014)

IMDB
Wild (2014): Messed-up woman undertakes insane 1,100 mile solo hike to clear her head. Reckless but it worked for her. I couldn't relate. B-

POTD: Grand Palace

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Bangkok, Thailand. Specifically, the Grand Palace. This has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam/Thailand since 1782.

If you're of a certain age, think Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr and the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "The King and I." If you're not of a certain age, try Amazon. You can thank me later.
