Did you know that rice is a grain? I didn't but now I do. I thought it came from woven nylon bags. Actually I thought it grew underwater because rice patties are always submerged. I have been enlightened.
We took a trip with our cab driver friend, Wan, and he made a point of showing us rice in its various stages of maturity. When we say some rice almost ready for harvets he stopped the car, went into the field and asked the farmed for a stalk.
There are problems in this Times,but none of them mineIT
And this is a combine. Lori took some very good pictures and there is a video we will try and post now that our internet is working consistently (and the human error factor has been dealt with).

wasn't Wan hilarious? We did a day trip with him...did you go to China town and see the black chickens and have noodle soup and tea for lunch?
A combine?! Where are the water buffaloes? Hope you're enjoying your modern, industrialized life over there in Thailand. I'm leaving Vietnam in a few weeks (my parents arrive next week for a visit), so I guess we're not going to see each other after all... lame.
