India's Independence Day is on 15 August. Please celebrate it!
Visit the Indian High Commission or Embassy in your country to
sample delicious Indian sweets.
I like Indian food, but the only food I've ever found too sweet is
those round balls of dough soaked in syrup. Delicious, but I'll
never eat another one :-)
One of the good things about Kalifornia is the vast number of
foreigh restaurants and grocery stores. The other good thing is
the scenery once you leave the cities. I'm sure there's a third
good thing, but I can't think of it right now. It used to be the
roads, but that was a long time ago. Same with the schools.
Yosemite? (Without the crowds, even better).
I think the National/State Parks/Monuments etc. are included in
'scenery'. Too many to list :-)
The last time we went to Yosemite the smoke from the campfires was
blinding and pretty much obscured everything worth seeing. Like
everybody and his dog took advantage of his god-given right to set a
piece of wood on fire.
Crowds ruin everything.
When I visited, in 1978, it was in winter, and it was crowded then. I
can't imagine what it's like in summer.
According to an article in the Free Press (subscribers only, and I'm
still thinking about it) Yosemite is crumbling due to Trump's cuts.
Curious article for a conservative newsthing. Our local National Forest
has been desperate for money to get rid of the garbage that visitors
leave after their day in the mountains for decades. Full garbage trucks
every weekend and they can't keep up. I don't think that's Trump's fault.
People are slobs and it costs an inordinate amount of money to pick up
after them -- case in point, the women's showers at the gym. I feel
like apologizing to the cleaning ladies, but you can't apologize for
other people. Maybe the free shampoo (sometimes full bottles of nice
stuff gets left there) makes up for it.
