Wow, thats weird, Glad I don't live there, must be all the wetback Cubans.

well father died at 0130 this morning, so no sleep last night, and the music kicked off at 0500 and the truck load of speakers is right under my bedroom window.
This funeral will last 4 full days and he will not be cremated until Thursday, for those that don't know about such things, he was born on a Wednesday so he can not go to the crematorium until Thursday because you can not be cremated on the weekday that you were born on. That day is listed on Thai birth certs.
There is going to be a truck load of food dished up during those 4 days, as his standing in the community is fairly high as he was an X headman and also was elected to the village council and served there until last year and has lived here and was born here.
They have just plugged up thru traffic on the street in front of the house with the party tents and they stretch for damn near a city block, so looks like we are expecting large crowds of people.
The son and his Bros are out by the lake getting their heads on and will be to drunk to hit the ground with their hats soon.
Thanks for letting me rattle on. and thanks to those that have sent us condolences..
