"With my mad skills I'll be able to put the belt on under the chodder" Bhakta Blade exclaims. Somehow he did but... "When was this offered?" he asks "Guru Maharaja's appearance...let me see 2002, yeah that's it, the year the Angles won the world series" i answer "Shut up" he says. Hahahaha Bhakta Blade is a Giants fan who never lived down their loss. Follow the Angles, the name of a book of Guru Maharaja's lectures also. The garlands today are of full roses. "It takes a lot of roses to make full rose garlands." Today's garland maker says and gives me Mahaprabhu and Giridhari's garlands. As i put Mahaprabhu's on "You just put it on over his head?" "Yes, but i have to hide behind the curtain to put Giridhari's on Him" "Gandharvika is saying 'you think those are good, Mine is going to be so special'" It is while the other two have a couple of roses facing out, hanging from the center, Gandharvika's has four plus two in the middle of the top too so it hangs like a heart, everybody's favorite way for her to hold the garland.
Pedaling along today i see that the road right off the asrama road has the fire hydrant spraying water into the air. The police and fire men are there one is closing off the valve in the street to make the water stop. Then it's on through the village past the post office, the wharf and along the east cliff to watch the sufferers. It must be a day for it there seem to be fifty or so suffering out there today. No sail boats at the twin lakes today. Then around the harbor and back for the sandhya.
A lion on the chase this evening. Purple and green a combination i'd not have thought of. Giridhari's long jacket flutters as his swirls around in time to the melody of his flute. A dancing actor no less.
