Kick back Saturday

Aloha: Today is a great day!!! Just wet enough outside to allow us to kick back in the house without guilt. I checked the rain gauge this morning and there was just a trace of "wet" in it. I wonder when I will get an amount that I can actually measure. (It is a good thing this thing has spellcheck.)

As I have said the weather today is a little misty. It is on the cool side. Right now it is 60 on the "sunny" side of the house. The volcano is SOS. There is a new home page for the HVO website and they are asking for old photos of the volcano. In the old days publishers would take a black and white photo and hand paint it. As a kid a neighbor of ours, Mrs. Eshelman, had an album of colorized pictures. She also had a picture of Hualalai with snow. The picture was taken from the Kohala mountain road and showed Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualalai covered with snow. Hawaiian oral tradition tells of snow on the windward side of the Big Island from the top of Mauna Kea to the sea at Laupahoehoe.

What have you all been thinking about lately? I have been thinking how anybody can take a rationed commodity, increase demand by 8%, do nothing to increase the supply and lower the price of the commodity.

May God bless and be nice to each other.
