Aloha no ia kakou. It is a beautiful day here in God's country. It is 10a and the temp outside is a brisk 48, up 4 from this morning. Inside it is 56. Light trades have returned so the air is a lot cleaner that it has been for the last few days.

FYI; The lowest gas price in Hilo is 2.369/gal, average is 3.399. I see the lowest in the nation is 1.099/gal in Wheatland WY.

Halema'uma'u update, SOS. RB2S2BL quakes are below background levels. SO2 has not been measured for the last 5 days or so. Tephra not being produced. tremor is up but still within background range. I checked the spelling of tephra and I am right, spellcheck still does not like it.

CJ spent the night. He was happy till he realized mom and dad were not coming to get him at bedtime. He kept asking for daddy and cried for about 5 minutes before he went to sleep. Got up all bright eyed and full of energy this morning. Why is it, I eat the same kind of food and I do not get that kind of energy from the food. It is unreal how much energy they have.

Now how about a word of the day. Supercilious: having or showing arrogant superiority to, and disdain of, those one views as unworthy. Hey, spellcheck does not like the word of the day.

God bless all of you.
