My last story for Maui No Ka Oi mag, one that was very important to me for the shout-out it allowed me to give the heroes/sheroes) of conservation who fenced the entire summit of Haleakalā Volcano/Haleakala NP, is being reposted on the mag social accounts.

#Kona #webcam facing the ocean over Aliʻi Drive, just south of the pier, is here.
Tsunami will have some work to get over the seawall, and it will be 17 mins past sunset, but could still be interesting:

This is Uno. I am feeding him for a friend gone over the weekend. However, the food container was open when I got there and now I am suspicious about opposable thumbs.

Behold the Spaghetti Western, made with vermicelli and marinara and three kinds of cheese, and on "Texas toast" (garlic version, pan-toasted in truffle oil) hence the name. Carb euphoria.

Big Island surf rolling in like it means business here on the West Side. When I hear the CHEEEEEEHOOOOOs out there I scamper to the lanai to watch the big sets. It's 8-10 with 12 expected. Gonna hollow out and get boomy at low tide.
