Santa Barbara Wedding Follow Up - Coup

At least three of you know my little brother, Brett.  He got married last week to Lisa in a beautiful ceremony down in Santa Barbara.  We were there.  They then took off for a honeymoon in Thailand.  Tanks are now rolling through the streets of Thailand as rumors of a coup are swirling about.  This should make for a memorable honeymoon.  Hey Tacoma, if you would, please send some positive thoughts toward Thailand.

Update:  The coup is real.  Although I really like this quote from CNN – “The coup caused little stir in Bangkok’s popular tourist districts, where foreigners packed beer bars and cabarets just a few miles from where the tanks were posted, AP reported.”  Photos like this seem to affirm that tourists aren’t overly concerned.
