Navaratri

Nine nights to celebrate Durga, the warrior goddess who rides a big wild cat, some say lion, some say tiger.  So to keep the mind off fruit-fasting during the day, one is supposed to meditate and chant while waiting for the evening meal of vegetables.  It's breakfast day at the airport where everyone will be eating bacon omelets with sides of bacon, and pancakes made with eggs.  What would Durga do?
Durga would ride the gondola to the top of Wildcat because she's weak from eating only fruit.
Durga would admire Carter Dome from a distance then turn around to ride her cat back down the mountain.
Durga would string up Tibetan prayer flags to flap in the winds on the ridge of Wildcat.
