Random Thoughts From The Passing Scenry VI  

Posted by revinboots (aka Steve Barckholtz)

Here are a few signs and such from our wandering around Chennai the last couple days--

  • "Ethical Hacking... Buy 1 Seat Get 1 Seat Free... Limited Seating Available"--Can there really be such a thing as this?
  • "Coherent Consulting"--I so much prefer the incoherent kind of consulting... I wonder wher they are located?
  • "Hotel Runs"--We are all beyond glad that we are not saying at this place! Instead of a mint on your pillow, you get a pack of Immodium...
  • "It's not what you play, it's what you play with"--this slogan was seen in a music store... perhaps this is the way band directors try to convince musicians to join the marching band?
  • While in the same mucis store, the owner's phone rang. Wann aknow his ringtone? "Oh, Susanna"--Now the yodeling train porter doesn't sem so outlandish... wait... yes he does...
  • One hotel advertised: "Smoke Rooms Available"--Is that a light hint of mesquite or maybe applewood that I smell?
  • There are pieces of wisdom painted all over the road offering driving insights. We saw this one yesterday: "Driving Faster Can Cause Disaster"--slamming on your brakes and short-stopping can also... we know... after almost 4 weeks in this country (last year and this), we got nailed in the right rear by a motorcycle (If I were as good as Josh, I could add the picture of our tail light... but I'm not, so imagine paint scrapes... a little ding... and a cracked tail light...)
  • And, finally--"Decorate Your Home With Handicrafts Bring Divinity Down From Heaven"--I almost bout a 1.25 million rupee elephant after I read this one...

Praise be to God that the first team made it home safely! Also, Dana's missing suitcase was delivered last night.

We pray that Gary is feeling better, and is on the road to recovery. Dana showed us a photo taken in India of Gary's knee, the swelling was significant. How availability of modern medicine has become a blessing that we tend to take for granted here, thankfully Gary is here now.

God's blessings on your week,
Mike
