I was thinking recently about my days in S.F. and Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City. Now that I am here in LOS, those stories seem tame .
COCONUTS IN THE DRIVEWAY:
Where I live across the Soi there are 2 houses, each house has a Elderly mother, each having 1 daughter, each daughter having 2 children each. They share a compound, about 1 rai each house has a driveway which after the gate is shared. Now, the house on the left, I believe the girls husband also lives with them, he seems to go out and work often. The house on the right, I think the girl has no husband and that the man living there is her brother, son of the elderly lady. How I came to this. He never works, lounges around most of the day.
About 4 days ago I noticed there were several bunches of coconuts in the driveway to the left, just behind the gate. Now, I sit outside, smoke, watch the eye candy go by and watched the coconuts sit in the driveway. Now both house have nice new looking trucks, each normally use their own driveway to enter and exit. The first day the coconuts where there the young man in the house on the left, tried to pull out the driveway on the right. It took a good 5 minutes to negociate pulling out. Second day, same as the first. Third day, the young lady decides to try, the scooter driver was very lucky when she backed into him. Being Thai, they took it in stride. On the forth day, I guess big mama had had enough, she went and moved the bunches of coconuts.
Moral of the story. WHY DO YOURSELF TODAY THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL DO LATER
