Last week the pond unwittingly took part in the Thai holiday, Loy Kratong. As I mentioned in a previous blog, Loy Kratong is a ceremony that among other things thanks the river, the canal, or in this case, the pond for all its gifts and to forgive us for causing harm to the water and polluting it.
Ironically, while most people celebrate by floating their (non-biodegradable Styrofoam) Kratong, others celebrate Loy Kratong by getting drunk and tossing in their empty beer bottles.
