What a setting for a temple!!

It would be so cool if, for instance, you were riding the Cannon River Rails-to-Trails route and you came over a rise and there overlooking the Cannon River was a hand-built wooden structure, half of the wood having been picked up along the river's edge and artistically cobbled together and there was a guy selling the most wonderful tasting coffee from beans from northern Minnesota and cream freshly squeezed from a local, willing, cow earlier in the morning and some soft Scandinavian music wafting over the entire scene and the coffee cost $.60. It would be so nice.

I covered mine with chilies and it was great. Except a bit out of focus.

She's looking at herself in a mirror. I approached the mirror carefully myself, being aware of how I must have looked.

They are fun to eat with coffee.

My house lost power twice but only briefly. I feel very lucky. However, if power had gone out for days and my pipes froze and burst, I had turned off my main water line from the street and water damage would have been minimal.

It looks like they would build a small house for you for under $30,000. The view of the hills is nice but the surrounding area is super desolate. The beach isn't too far away however. There were a whole bunch of photos lined up along the road of young women in swim suits frolicking on the beach.

You would have such a good time with birds here. There are so many!!! Especially in the south there are gorgeous birds everywhere.

Never! I'm sure it was a Humpty Dumpty Buddha sort of thing and they couldn't put Humpty Buddha back together again. I hope no one got injured when Buddha fell. I like how they stashed the arms in the back of the building. And I especially like that they kept the feet where they were.

It's so interesting how whenever we see other cyclists with panniers we are attracted to each other like magnets. That's the way backpackers were in the '70's in Asia. There were so few that we'd always stop and exchange important information with each other. They were my '70's tribe.

If I stayed in this place for one night I'd probably come out a different person, like my brain had been scrubbed.

Amen

Tattooing it in our daily practice will also work.

"We can’t do this life without helping others and being helped by others."

Think I'll get that tatooed on my forearm...

Very tall tapioca.
