Coup of all Coops

I dunno... maybe I am the kind of person who just lives in my little world, all ambivalent about what's going anywhere beyond my arms' reach.

Freddy called me yesterday to ask me about the coup in Thailand. "What are you talking about?" as I checked the innernetz. Oh. I see. Whatever.

About half an hour later, William called me too, wondering if I had called any family members to check if they were OK. Why? I'm sure they're fine. Reports say it was a "bloodless" coup. I'm sure if a bomb had been dropped on their little hut (that's what you Amelicans think we live in, right?), someone would have sent a Telex to my famiry.

Thanks to everyone for your concern, though! Without you, two years ago, I wouldn't have known there was a big tsunami that hit Thailand while my entire family was there.

I don't really know much about the Thai government, except the Royal Family is highly revered. Most Thai homes have a picture of the King and Queen in it. A few months ago, I had dinner with my parents and some of their golfing buddies. They discussed politics and the Prime Minister back then too. Who doesn't know the Thai government (and the police, and the military, etc...) is corrupt? Aren't most governments corrupt in some way?

Anyway, one of the food blogs I read had a funny commentary on the news. Go check it out.

And an apology to my girl, BHL, for making her Talk Like a Pirate to her patients yesterday. It's kinda funny today, though, isn't it? Arrrr!
