    One of the good things about my condo is I can’t hear this at all. So I have peace. 😌

    One of the bad things about my condo is I can’t hear this at all. So I might RIP. 🪦

  3. Hearing rumors from Kaua'i scuba friends that an early assessment of the reef at the popular Koloa Landing shore dive site is looking bleak after Hurricane Lowell, which destroyed homes & roads very close to the site.

    This majestic, very old mushroom coral is a landmark for every diver and someone told me it did not survive. It's very close to shore and boulders got pushed up out of the ocean so...

    I'm not crying yet but if I ever dive that site again, I'm sure it will look much different and I'll probably add some salt to the ocean. I've seen so many turtles napping in the safety of this coral. I've watched eels dart in and out of the plates looking for lunch. I've marveled as cleaner wrasses set up cleaning stations right there.

    I've been diving at this spot 80+ times and each visit, the mushroom coral welcomes me. At the end of a dive, it signals that I'm nearly back to shore & did not get lost.

  6. Yikes - the alarm sirens in #Honolulu #Hawaii are once again sounding a false alarm. Let all the flashbacks to 2018 commence...

  7. The day after Hurricane Lowell hit Kaua'i, a fire broke out in the main county office building and service center. The DMV, planning office, property tax office and a whole bunch of other services were affected.

    The county IT staff are working to restore services. Thank you to them...some of whom may be living without grid power and inside damaged homes.

    'The fire destroyed critical information technology infrastructure that supports County operations islandwide. Systems used to process transactions, access records, and connect County phone lines were housed in the building. That infrastructure has to be restored before counter services can resume. Crews from the Information Technology Division are working on recovery and standing up temporary systems.' - County statement today.

    I sure hope it wasn't arson.

  9. After parking in a compact space and squeezing out of my vehicle, I started walking to the restaurant where I was meeting a friend. A man in the car next to me called out, “Hey, did you hit my car?” I said, “Nope. Didn’t hit your car,” thinking it was just a question he had. Then I continued.

    Returning to my car after dinner, I had a passive-aggressive note stating I hit his car, and although no damage could be found, I should have been apologetic and admitted my fault.

    I should have offered to show him the doors’ first detent position rested ~2” from his vehicle. I’m not a large person, so squeezing out was a routine maneuver for parking in Honolulu.
