Rainy Season Starts

"Did I leave the shower on all night?"

These were my first thoughts this morning when I woke up. All I could do as I laid there trying to convince myself to get out of bed was to think about what a high water bill I will have this month.

But once I finally put my feet on the floor and walked over to the bathroom to check the shower, I quickly realized that the shower was on outside.

So rainy season is here a few days early; this morning it was here with a vengence. We don't get many thunderstorms in Bangkok, but this time the thunder and lightning were going wild. So were all the dogs in the neighborhood as they howled and moaned and barked at the falling rain and flashing lights.
