Here are our signs, ready for action in the Hands Off protest on Maui. We met in Kahului - organizers estimated 2000-3000 protesters when I saw them partway through. My sign is in the video around 1:07 - it was so windy that we sometimes nearly got blown over - www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD9w...

I just posted about the joys of NH and Maui life. I should note that 2 weeks ago we had a BIG 2-day storm and things are difficult at present. This happens several times each year - it rains upcountry, gulches overflow, we get lots of silt and water damage by the shores. Long difficult clean-ups!

A study in contrasts - our homes in NH and on Maui. Jeanʻs cousin Dave took the photo of the NH house, and headed off to go skiing. I miss the snow - the crispness of the air, the beauty of the landscapes. But Maui has abundant mana every day and itʻs a pleasure to greet each new day here.

More on La Perouse ... Monk seals are very endangered, so we were lucky to see a pregnant female sleeping on the beach. 2 women were watching her, with signs keeping hikers at a distance. They had general info on monk seals, and this one in particular - they knew her and were tracking her travels.

Here are a few random photos from an afternoon hiking at La Perouse Bay. This is far south on the west side of Maui, past Kihei, Wailea and Makena. Itʻs a terrain of rugged lava fields. We saw 5 or 6 goats - many roam through the back country. We also saw a pregnant monk seal - more on that later.

Iʻm starting to spend time in BlueSky - Iʻve been unhappy with FB about monetizing content for some time, but the recent monitoring changes have bothered me deeply. Not sure how to build a "social family" here - it seems more akin to the old Twitter than FB. Any thoughts on how to build community?
