Hi Mohan, ..Re:<<How did you do on CAT,didn't earnings come out today?>> Earnings came out and were the best for Q1 ever, >12% growth, (better than SUNW and with a dividend too, huh?)<g> Investors don't appear to be interested though. Even though there were no excuses for SEA business, like others we've heard. THe Golden Temple is beautiful but I really like the Bahai Temple. Can't imagine the Statics and Dynamics that went into that construction! Thanks for the pics. Best, Lee

Nice picture, Mohan. But the text is a little much: "This is an example of the spirit of tolerance and acceptance that the Sikh philosophy propounds." I don't know anything about Sikhs beyond the recent headlines in the news, but "tolerance" doesn't jump to my mind to describe them. Temples like that are obviously beautiful and fun in a way to visit, but they invariably strike me not as symbols of "greatness" but symbols of oppression. It frequently implies oppression and injustice of some sort to build something like that. Is it really worth it? I once had a teacher say that, for a city as beautiful as Venice, it would be worth killing a child, that beauty and greatness justify some measure of injustice (a variation of a theme in The Brothers Karamazov). I asked him if he would offer his own child as a sacrifice for beauty, if it came to that. He gave me a dumb look. Fortunately, I wasn't taking the class for a grade. Romantic claptrap.
