Steve, I used to swim, far away from the beach but that was in the Adriatic sea, which compared to the Pacific ocean is more like a bathtub. In lake Shrine I wrongly remembered that by bathing in that water you received a special blessing, whereas when I checked later it was more like being in that place would draw those blessings. Turyananda had a booming voice and went on with some reasoning I do not remember, I thought that he took his role of guardian pretty seriously. I agree you cannot make everyone happy with all the quirks we all carry.
SRF lessons, actually I do not read them often but now you are prompting me.

Hello to Eric-hillbillus, when I was a boy in Italy the Indian American Culture was very, very popular, we knew all the tribes and the sayings of the wise old indians, we had lots of cartoons with them and films of course, even though the image was often distorted, they being the villains a little too often!.
