In times like this I go back to something I learned in the 7-Habits of highly effective people. I first read it in 1990. I was in a rough spot and a little scattered. I was sales manager for food broker. Habit one is Proactive. Stimulus and response. Minimize my circle of concern.


With VOG and without. I don’t remember it being this bad in Kona since 2018. When Kīlauea pauses, it’s still emitting gas.


Vegetarian with a sense of humor. `aina = land


I was raised as the oldest son, playing sports starting in the late 60s to never show weakness and never let them know you’re hurt. I always had the mindset that if my arm was still attached to my shoulder I could pitch another inning. This in essence is why my body is so broken now

Somewhere in that bush is a Frankolin letting everyone know that they are there.


Kilauea. 4 hours ago. 2 hours ago and now. Just like that, she off again.


Escape movie of the day, 1992s Sneakers, with a stellar cast including Robert Redford.


Just finished “Downfall” on Amazon Prime. Can only hope at this point


I guess I’ve adequately muted the notifications that I need to. I didn’t know about the Gabbard confirmation until my wife told me.


Fascinating read on the real issues at USAID

I guess Apple wasn’t going to releases the new iPhone SE this week after all
