I was hoping for more wisdom by the time I got to this stage of my life. Well, I'll just roll with what I've got. 7 decades...what a long strange trip it's been.

Good morning from Pull and Be Damned point. A seal swam up and stared at me for a minute. I stared back.

Insurrection act? On 4/20?

I started hearing about this possibility and was surprised to find discussions about it in credible, mainstream journals. This is scary AF.

March 5, crocus by the sidewalk. A thrill. In a place that is warm all the time a flower by the sidewalk goes unnoticed. Another flower.

These beautiful farm fresh eggs in Skagit are less expensive than corporate farm eggs on Kaua’i.

REI is having a vote for board members. They have blocked any pro labor, pro union candidates from running.

Are you a member?

If so please vote ‘Withhold’ on the candidates. If there are more withhold votes than for votes the seat is considered vacant. See the article about this. Pass it on.

The Kaua'i house is clean, the bags are packed and we are checked in for our flight back to Washington. We sat out on Maka'huena doing our last whale spotting this year. On to a very busy life on the mainland with its own beauty and many wonderful friends and neighbors.

From Haleakala Mauna Kea and Moana Loa are usually easy to see. Today only the peaks stick out of the vog.

I have only read 40 pages of Report of the Last Miracle at Little No Horse, by Louise Erdrich and I am going to tell you that you need to read it. The writing is just so masterful that I was drawn in by the first sentence and carried along from there.

Moli, or Laysan Albatross on the north shore of Kaua’i. These guys are hanging out in a residential neighborhood. You can see them in cul de sacs and on lawns.

I am resetting my search engine as DuckDuckgo. I will be looking for some kind of map alternative. The hardest one is, how do I transfer my email to another service? Can I transfer my contact lists?

Resetting my calendar will be tricky too. Any suggestions?

The name, internationally agreed on, Gulf of Mexico has been replaced on Google Maps. This is how propaganda works. Chip away at even the smallest things while destroying the big things. Make people believe you want them to be proud to belong while you make their lives miserable.
