Woman Hollerin': The Heater
http://womanhollerin.blogspot.com/2009/05/heater.html
Thoughts about philosophy, food and life from a small town in Texas. Thursday, May 14, 2009. The willow is a generous tree. Every year the people cut it back dramatically for firewood. Wood and dung are primary sources of fuel around here, and we see pats of dung drying on the sides of hills as we walk or ride along the roads. Thank you Carol for suggesting the heater. Thank you Hotel Omasila for having it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Five things we can Say to Support Others through Tough Times.

Woman Hollerin': Early morning at the airport
http://womanhollerin.blogspot.com/2009/05/early-morning-at-airport.html
Thoughts about philosophy, food and life from a small town in Texas. Monday, May 11, 2009. Early morning at the airport. Judy says she would comment, but it is too early to think. The second Shiva temple was built by South Indians. There, we saw the evening puja. On the way to Leh, we are going to be sitting in window seats on the left side of the plane in hopes of catching a glimpse of K2. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Woman Hollerin': Return to Leh
http://womanhollerin.blogspot.com/2009/05/return-to-leh.html
Thoughts about philosophy, food and life from a small town in Texas. Tuesday, May 19, 2009. Summer has come to Ladakh and we are back in Leh. We sat outside at the Hotel Olmasila at tea time after a hot shower to wash off the dust of the road (and the soot of the 500-year-old Ladakhi house we climbed around in) and ate more mangos than I care to count. Today we are going shopping. What's the plan for the rest of the journey? Robin and Judy,Sounds like your trip is fascinating! 160; Keep blogging -.

Woman Hollerin': FabIndia
http://womanhollerin.blogspot.com/2009/05/fabindia.html
Thoughts about philosophy, food and life from a small town in Texas. Monday, May 25, 2009. In Delhi we met a force of consumerism that we could not resist: FabIndia. We went to three different FabIndia locations and bought things in each. Even Carol shopped. Judy and I have done our “school shopping” for fall, but we probably won’t be able to wait to wear our new outfits. I had been wondering how Indian women manage to get their feet through the narrow lower part of the churidar pantleg, so I tried on a ...

Woman Hollerin': August 2007
http://womanhollerin.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Thoughts about philosophy, food and life from a small town in Texas. Monday, August 27, 2007. Karma's arrival was the last major event of the summer. One day we woke up with a bunch of middle aged and aging cats, and then there was a hungry, howling kitten. We think the male cat we feed outside brought her to us because she looks like a tiny version of him. She went from waif to diva almost overnight. The big cats are still trying to figure out what happened to their quiet world. They are not sure.

Woman Hollerin': Arrival in India
http://womanhollerin.blogspot.com/2009/05/arrival-in-india.html
Thoughts about philosophy, food and life from a small town in Texas. Sunday, May 10, 2009. I had harder time getting to Champaign, Ill., three years ago than I had getting to New Delhi. After an easy drive to the airport in San Antonio (thank you, Tobin! And the flight arrived early. We saw a lot of places with guardhouses and razor wire. The U.S. embassy is among that crowd. I'm looking forward to hearing about your further adventures! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Five things we can Say to Suppor...

Woman Hollerin': The Indus River
http://womanhollerin.blogspot.com/2009/05/indus-river.html
Thoughts about philosophy, food and life from a small town in Texas. Tuesday, May 19, 2009. We stopped to look at the confluence of the Indus and the Zanskar Rivers not far outside of Leh. We also saw a heard of cattle, including an enormous yak, in the distance on the opposite side of the river. At this point, the banks of the river are wide and fertile, but it passes through narrow gorges, flowing within massive cliffs as well. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Election Day in Ladakh.

Woman Hollerin': May 2009
http://womanhollerin.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thoughts about philosophy, food and life from a small town in Texas. Monday, May 25, 2009. Judy and I arrived in Chicago at 5 am CDT, a full half hour early. New Delhi to Chicago is, apparently, the longest flight American Airlines operates. It is a long one at 15 1/2 hours. My advice to you if you head for India is to book roundtrip from Chicago to Delhi. If you are flying on a Boeing 777, select seats A, B, H or J in row 40. You get extra leg room. Links to this post. Shoppers decide whether they want ...

Woman Hollerin': February 2009
http://womanhollerin.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thoughts about philosophy, food and life from a small town in Texas. Thursday, February 26, 2009. Not Forgetting Amadou Diallo. I am listening to Bruce Springsteen, The Essential Springsteen. American Skin (41 Shots)," to be exact. Reminded by the song of Amadou Diallo, I looked on the Web for articles. About this case in which police in New York shot an African immigrant 41 times in 1999. . They fired on him, apparently, because he was walking in New York and carrying his wallet and a pager. Published s...
