Ajan Fred In Chiang Mai



A student was kind enough to take a picture of me at the classroom's shrine to the King. I was very interested in the use of "the ubiquitous blue PVC pipe" as a framing medium for the King's photo and the flag. This pipe is all over Thailand, used for a million purposes. I've seen it turned into a golf club; attached to a roof with metal tubing attached for use as a TV Aeriel; eighteen inches of a large gauge piece with the house address written on it used as a mailbox. It always makes me smile.

Fred, There's nothing you can do about getting old, but do you have to dress so "old," too?
Come on, drop the Mr. Whipple look, and wear something more stylish in clothes and glasses!

Style is for youngsters! I dress for comfort and invisibility.

Fashion is the only sense Fred has! Y'can't wear a derby in 90 degrees, unfortunately.

There's always the two cents that I put in. That's about it though.
