9 ornate domes, 20 quadrangled shikhars, a spectacular Gajendra Pith
(plinth of stone elephants) and 20,000 murtis and statues.. etc.

Don, is that the 1/2 scale model for the house you're building?

I couldn't go there. I would get arrested for putting a red nose on
the lead deer.

I didn't see until too late that this was cross-posted to a number of
groups, not just the one where I read it. That group is pretty small
and has a bizarre sense of humor running though it.

I apologize in advance to anyone in the other groups who might have
been offended by my comment. Had I noticed the cross-post, I would not
have sent that to the groups to which I am not a member.

Again, I apologize.

As a rule I don't apologize for stuff other people have done.
