Tomorrow I go back to the mainland. It will be August 22. I have been here in Hawaii since the 12th of July. I am sitting in a chair on the lanai (porch or patio) portion of the gazebo, thinking about all the things I need to do before I go. I could just leave.Continue reading “Last day”

Royal Ponciana
While on a trip to Cabo San Lucas in 2005, I saw a tree that I really liked. The tree was quite large, with an overhead canopy some thirty feet high. The lowest limbs were four, five, even six feet off the ground. The leaves are small, oval in shape and arranged in a featheryContinue reading “Royal Ponciana”
The saga continues . . .
When asked by a reporter about the mask mandate : “That’s up to them,” Biden said, after a reporter asked, “Should people continue to wear masks on planes?” https://www.yahoo.com/gma/biden-reacts-judge-striking-down-191500529.html For two years we have been dictated to and fed the same line he used when he said “Follow the science” but now it’s up toContinue reading “The saga continues . . .”
Hummingbird
I’m back in Arizona. There is a humingbird that keeps flying onto my patio , under the patio cover, and close to the windows. Have you ever tried to take a picture of a hummingbird? It appears as if he/she/it is looking for something. A way inside? A place for a nest? insects? or plainContinue reading “Hummingbird”
Hawaii Beckons
October 31, 2021 I am on my way back to Hawaii. Based on the recent actions of the government in Hawaii relating to the pandemic, I decided it would be in my best interest to get vaccinated.

Even though I am not in Hawaii, I can still work on projects to improve conditions there. I have been working on lighting. I have been relying on two inflatable solar lights for my lights at night on previous trips. Very much like these: They have a small solar collector in the end you cannotContinue reading “Let there be Light”

Before I get into my story, I want to post this disclaimer: Anything I write is a combination of my own imagination and my own experiences. Where possible, I have tried to be as factual as I can be.Continue reading “Attitude is the Difference Between an Ordeal and an Adventure”
All Good Things . . .
It’s Saturday night. I am thinking about my exit strategy. I think backwards. My plane leaves on Monday morning at 8:20 AM. Therefore, I must be at the airport no later than 7:00 AM. I’ll need to drop off the rental car, and catch their shuttle to the terminal. I have two large suitcases withContinue reading “All Good Things . . .”
Crime Spree
The other morning, I was having breakfast, and went to the car to get something. As I came through the trees and around the corner I saw a Hawaii County Policeman standing in the middle of Holowai Street in front of the car. I immediately wondered what I had done. Had my covid test atContinue reading “Crime Spree”
