Dead Internet and Meat Monks

I just wrote the entire post and lost it. Bugger, since it takes such a long time to load the page again. The broadband internet connection to Sera died earlier this evening and I'm writing this on Thuptens mobile internet. I missed the video chat at 7.30 but I called home on the phone and spoke to Alice. Today was hot and humid and I was crouched over the scanner most of the time. At lunchtime I borrowed Namgyal's TVS moped and drove back to Sera to eat lunch with Thupten. They refilled our gas can on the porch. Dangerous since one spark could blow the whole place to smithereens. Now they are cooking meat momos. They are truly the Meat Monks. House 5 must be infamous for it. They lock the gate to keep the Disciplinarian out.
