Wrong place Sal. Not on campus. This new compound (for want of a better word) is out on the right just past the Rukmapura. My TB friend said it was the new housing for the pundits. It sits WAY back off the road. The prefab housing is white, smaller than the original pundit housing now occupied by Mother Divine (beige colored houses), and has the small cone thingies on the roofs. There are also a couple of bigger buildings that may be dining/flying halls. The fence facing the main road (next to Rukmapura) is green chain link. However, if you turn right onto the gravel road built for access to the new pundit compound, the fencing is barbed wire. I drove up to the gate (east facing) and it was closed with a chain and padlock. There also appeared to be cameras monitoring the gate.
I asked my TB friend why there was barbed wire and she said it was to protect the pundits. If I have time tonight, I will drive out, snap a couple of pictures and post them here. I had no idea pundit housing was being built out there until I asked my TB friend what the new digs were for. Go take a look Sal. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Sal Sunshine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On May 31, 2007, at 9:54 AM, Rick Archer wrote: > > > I would like to hear a confirmation of this barbed wire thing.
