Hare Krsna.
AgtSP. Paoho. They are 8.03 AM.
We are in New Biharvan, ISKCON Boise, Idaho.
The trip was hell and one-half! We have been through hell and five-halves in travel to/from India!
You also?
Left 902 Hillcrest at 4AM Boise Time (ACT) and arrived at our residence at 2AM. That's 22-hours! Before that we were packing for three hours with a great Mangala-arati.
As soon as we hit the road at 5AM there was dense, fast, little crazy, traffic!
Zoom! ZOOM! Z O O M !
Our mind and senses are 72-years old, so it was a challenge driving.
Then we had to find the exit for the gas refill. We found it with a little bit of jumping. Found the gas station. Pumped the gas. Worried about missing our flight. It was $3 for the gas. We saved $12 against the Avis gas refill charges.
Then. . . with the help of the nice Lady-in-the-Cell-Phone and other stuff we found the Avis rental car drop-off. Dude was a cultured dude from Ethiopia. We were just naturally preaching(?!) and at then end he asked us to pray for him!
We asked him to pray for us and shoved him a NOI!
Security guard asked, "How are you today"? We said that this was the material world and everyone is suffering. He nodded mildly and said, "Have a safe jouney" with a serious look.
So, lot of chance to meet people and talk with them. We need more NIOS/ASA promo material to give to people. LOB, NOI...
Then WhooOOp! WhhhOOOOP! whOOp! Earthquake in Salt Lake City. Water pipes busting. Control towers out of commission. Rickter 5!
Plane diverted with three more planes to ?? Rapid Falls, South Dakota!!!? The home of Mount Rushmore, and we did Rush no More!

Like six hours sitting. Everybody was really cool.
God bless America!
Talked with a lot of people. Communicated good ideas.
NOMOREBOOKS! -[;o{/\__
Back to SLC and waiting for six more hours, until 12.30AM!!!
Always chatting with Ananata-rupa Das, Srinivasas, Abhi, et al, et al.
We were supposed to avoid Karuna virus and almost died of an earthquake.
Have lot of arythmias, so may die of a heart attack any time.
Was hell sleeping, sitting, in the airport with 300 other refugees. Bananas $1.20 ea.! Yet, we adjusted pretty well and were pretty comfortable.
Watched <ovo. "Midway" on the airplane while we chanted. Hmmm! Skipped the family life.
Then ran the "Adams Family" with no sound while we flew from SLC to BOI at 12.30AM with our brains sloshing in our skull and our heart coughing a little to keep from going mad.

Arrived, nap, CLEANED everything. Got four rounds done. Ekadasi!
Set up our ASA Camp site.
We will probably get Karuna virus and suffocate to death. We are thinking about how to do it.
It will probably also kill about 90% of our GBC members.
Hmmm. Telecomunication will break down, but "Very nice! We can just sit down together and chant Hare Krsna and not have to deal with all these worries about Sankirtan!"
-or-
An astrological change is expected on the 24th and there will be a spontaneous remission of Karuna virus and Rascal Science will be greatly ruffled, and Demonism and Pseudo Science will gain strides!
Actually, hear about Krsna and teach other's about Krsna, and it will be a happy harmony in hell on the way to heaven.
Hare Krsna!!! AGTSP paoho. Very best wishes for your Sankirtan.
