There’s been a requirement on Hawaii island that homes built close to the shore must be on stilts. A few older homes have been jacked up. If you do it right and go to bedrock the house will be fine.

My 13yo grandson has a drone. He’s pretty competent at flying it. Just needs more practice. He wants to fly it for fun. See the world from a bird’s prospective. No malicious intent. Just a curious kid. I played with RC cars. This is the next iteration. Would be a shame to over regulate

I know all of this music. I love it.

Got some fresh poi in Waimea yesterday. Usually eat poi with something either salty or spicy. Lacking those options, just eating poi.
Was so nice spending a couple of days just hanging out with my Daughter and her GF. Her partner works at the Bishop Museum library and archive. Fascinating hearing about the work they are doing digitizing Hawaiian language newspapers going back to the 1840s. Many were microfilmed years ago.
I have so many photos that were scans of old prints, so no meta data. I have to manually look through them and look for something in the same era. I find other stuff while looking. This is Kalapana Black sand beach prior to being wipe off the map by a lava flow. Puna canoe club canoe on the left
It’s crazy that 3 teams from the Dakotas are in the FCS Semi Finals. S. Dakota, SDSU, and NDSU. Something in the water up there
Spent the day with my daughter. Her GF had to work in the hotel room, an emergency came up. We went to market at Pukalani Stables in Waimea. Got some REALLY fresh poi. $5/# and some dried ice cream sandwiches. Then Queen’s marketplace (Manaola pop us store). Kona Christmas parade tonight.
