Park Open Again!

About 10 this morning Dane sent a text saying Lapakahi was officially open again. Hūlō! I hope the tourists are happy now. Though I am sure we will now be getting complaints about the ash blowing around.


I was in Kona when the text arrived. I was at the Hawaiʻi County Leeward Planning Commission meeting. Members of the Kohala Culture & History hui asked me to apply because of my planning background. I am observing to see what this commission is like.


After the meeting was over at about 4 p.m. I started my Kona errands. The 1st was to Office Max. Two weeks ago I purchased a black ink cartridge for my printer. I could not find the double cartridge that was currently in my printer; but the saleswoman said the single cartridge would work. She also said they did not carry the double, it was an online order only item. Well, it turns out the single will not fit; fortunately they took it back even though I had already opened the package.

I also went to Petco. Paʻipaʻi had so helpfully punctured the silicone mat that was keeping the water she splashed out of the new water fountain off the floor. I needed a new one. But they did not have any that were rigid plastic with sides. And I figured I was wasting my money buying a new silicone mat.

She has done this nearly every day since I set up the new water fountain. Auē!
Today she went further & tore up the silicone mat in 3 places.

My final errand was to Island Naturals; I was out of peanut butter. I brought 2 containers with me today; I grind my own peanut butter there. No additives, just peanuts!
