Lazy?

I knew that the time would come that everything I see here seems NORMAL.  It is not.  I have been working on getting my Visa set up for another year here.  I spent a day in Bangkok last week getting one paper signed at the US embassy.  Last year they charged me $35 for the document.  This year the price went up to $50.  I paid it in Thai money and the dollar has been plunging against the baht so it really cost me about $60.  I understand when foreigners use the US Embassy that they should pay for services but I paid about $11,000 in taxes last year!  And the price goes up.  I consider that a tax hike.  I Should continue this bog but right now I need a break. If I get a picture of something truely unusual I will put it out here.
