I had no idea before how addictive these picture threads could be. We’ve added some from last month (May) in northern Thailand. [The wife and I clowning around with a lovely lady named Phanom](http://aentz.multiply.com/photos/album/7#28) outside of the town of Pai, in Mae Hong Son province. And a couple more of the three of us are [here](http://aentz.multiply.com/photos/album/7#26) and [here](http://aentz.multiply.com/photos/album/7#27). Here we are [enjoying a meal of northern-Thai cuisine in Chiang Mai](http://aentz.multiply.com/photos/album/7#30). Chiang Mai is the main city in the North. The waiter took this photo and managed to make it a bit blurry, but the setting is nice. And at [Mae Yen Temple](http://aentz.multiply.com/photos/album/7#31) overlooking the town of Pai. ---

[QUOTE=OpalCat] Are elephants as awesome as I like to think they are? [/QUOTE] And more. The most fantastic creatures. We took that one out bareback in the countryside for three hours (with a mahout, or elephant keeper, along; we’re not THAT skilled), and at our age that was probably at least an hour longer than was wise. We couldn’t walk straight for about 24 hours afterward, and it was about that long before I could pee again without it hurting. 😃 But they exert less pressure per square inch on the ground than a deer’s hoof. They can use their trunk to pick up a log or a pencil. Truly magnificent beasts. ---

I have a deep wish that I will one day be friends with an elephant. (And yes, I think that friendship with animals is perfectly possible, plausible, and valid.) ---

I don’t know why, but **Tripler,** you remind me of some British gangster from one of those movies like Trainspotting that always has a bunch of crazy British guys in it. I really have no idea why this is. And I mean it as a compliment. ---
