Exciting Project Currently Underway
The roof struts have been erected for the new
pavilion, and now there will be bolting of the
roof and attaching the insulation.
The company which makes the pavilion told us
to buy the wrong screws
for the roof. We ordered
$ 1,000 dollars worth of bolts from Fastenal,
two
inches in length, and specially painted. Turns out
these are too
short and will have to be returned to
a restocking penalty of 30 per
cent, about 350 dollars.
It will be a delay of two weeks until they can
make us
new, longer ones. We had paid the pavilion company
up front, so
we can only hope they do the right thing
by reimbursing us for this
(and other) mistakes on
their part.
Their problem is they have never made a building
this big. Their
previous largest order was 40 feet
in diameter, and this is 90 feet. It
will be magnificent
when completed.
Means to donate for the above. 1) Send a check to
Krishna Temple, 8628
S. State Road, Spanish Fork, Utah 84660. 2) Call Caru at (801)
798-3559/787-1510 with Credit or Debit Card Number 3) Go to paypal.com
and credit a donation to carudas@earthlink.net.

This white peacock, delivered by Jose Montero,
arrived Memorial day weekend. He will join the
dozen or so multi colored peacocks which roam
the temple property. By the way, peacocks do just
fine in Utah winters. They have a constitution
similar to pheasants.

Humor
 What's your religion?
I was walking across a bridge one day, and
I saw a man standing on the edge, about to
jump off. I immediately ran over and said
"Stop! Don't do it!"
"Why shouldn't I?" he said.
I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"
"Like what?"
"Well ... are you religious or atheist?"
"Religious."
"Me too! Are you Christian or Jewish?"
"Christian."
"Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?"
"Protestant."
"Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"
"Baptist."
"Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God
or Baptist Church of the Lord?"
"Baptist Church of God."
"Me too! Are you Original Baptist Church of God,
or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?"
"Reformed Baptist Church of God."
"Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God,
reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of
God, reformation of 1915?"
"Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of
1915!"
To which I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed
him off.
