Aloha: Welcome to the last year of the first decade of the 21st century. It was not that long ago that we were all worried about the Y2K "virus". Here it is, 2010, and we have other things to worry about. Much more important things.
Have you ever noticed how stupid government is? Here in the County of Hawaii cutbacks have to be made to save money. So now they are paying new hires to guard the "transfer stations" (rubbish dumps) so that you can only dump rubbish during daylight hours. During the Winter, most people, in areas like Volcano, leave for work when it is dark and return when it is dark. We used to take and "transfer" our rubbish on our way to Hilo, but no more. I wonder how much they are paying the "rubbish police" to watch the rubbish? At one time the powers that be put up a fence with a gate to lock up the rubbish at night. I think they quit after about 4 fences and gates were stolen. I do not know if it is related but I have noticed that there is a lot more rubbish along the highway then there used to be.
The wife and I are spending a quite day at home today. We had our New Years meal at noon. I went to bed at about 9p last night. Our new neighbors popped off a few crackers at about 7p so I had to bring the dogs up on the porch to keep them quiet. Thankfully they went someplace else for the midnight bang.
The weather today is cloudy but dry. The volcano is SOS. For the last two night there was a glow from the Pu'u 'O'o vent. God love you all.
