Mar 6 Market, bagels, birds and dishes

Sunday morning, we play hookie and visit the farmers market with Bruce. These two are his favorite vendors, tallying and weighing non-stop. We stop at several others, bulging our re-usable bags with the weeks veggies. Jim gets a knife for cutting woven mat roofs while installing chimneys. At our last stop, not in the market, we pick up massive amounts of yogurt – NEI lacked almost all dairy products. The entry had a little shine to Murugan, aka Skanda, son of Shiva. It's sunny in Kodai, but cloudy below. This view is looking DOWN from Ann and Bruces yard. Note the perspective on the birdbath and the hotel roof. That's a 5,000 foot mountain. The Pecks invite us to the International School Alumni lunch hosted by George, Kodai's only bagel maker, here with his oven. Gail becomes friends with George's sister-in-law, Julie, visiting from Ontario. She couldn't believe the list of feminist thealogans Gail was on a first name basis with.
After a light supper at 'home', Gail and I went for a walk in the hillside 'Enclave' next door, where we met this fellow and dozens of his friends. This big building may have been an apartment complex – count the seven satellite dishes on the roof - or a family complex with conflicting TV viewing requirements.
