Tariffs & Trade Wars in action? Matson Lines’ m/v Kaimana Hila outbound from Honolulu for Guam this morning as seen thru my spotter scope. As with many container ships here recently, she appears only about half-loaded, an increasingly common sight for me.

Thousands peacefully protested at the Hawaii state capitol in #Honolulu today. #handsoff #veterans @maddow.msnbc.com

If Ukraine really does send firefighting assistance to LA, I hope they will send some of their GPM-54 firefighting tanks. I saw them in action in Ukraine. They are converted at Lviv and designed to fight fires in urban and industrial settings, and have also proven effective in fighting wildfires.
