The scenery along Maui's north shore coastline Road 30 is spectacular. There is a fairly long section of road that has room for only one car with a cliff wall on one side and a dropoff on the other side, no shoulder and no guard rail, so if a car should be coming from the other direction, one driver would have to back up quite a distance to pass. Personally, I would never go all the way around the coastline again but would certainly drive the sections that are two-lane.
Hi friends ♥ Putting together a quick post tonight, because Maui needs our help.
As you may have heard, the town Lahaina in Maui was ravaged by a storm and a rapidly burning wildfire. The alarm system failed. Over 100 people have lost their lives, and another 1000 are missing. There’s going to be a lengthy search and assessment, but in the meantime, thousands of locals have nothing. No home, no belongings and no food.
Second Life is doing what it does best, coming together to help people in every way we can. Organizers and creators came together quickly to help raise money. As of 4pm SLT on 8/19/23, we’ve raised nearly half a million linden for the Maui Food Bank. 100% of EVERY DONATION AND SALE will go to help the people of Maui. You can read more about the event here:
As soon as I learned about it I popped over, to see how I could help. I made a donation and then I bought some items (100% of the proceeds are donated). A quick post tonight to show you some of what’s available, and encourage you strongly to head over and help.

Once upon a time in another life I used to spend most of August in the islands to escape the summer heat of Phoenix. I wanted to test the latest versions of Photolab 6 and Topaz to see how they could do one some of these old files.

Back From Maui and ready for another vacation. I now have 5,831 pictures to sort through. Very few of them have duckies in them. This picture is straight out of the camera with no processing.

I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year.
All of the faces and all of the places,
wonderin' where they all disappeared.
I didn't ponder the question too long;
I was hungry and went out for a bite.
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum,
and we wound up drinkin' all night.
It's those changes in latitudes,
changes in attitudes nothing remains quite the same.
With all of our running and all of our cunning,
If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.
[Chorus:]
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes,
Nothing remains quite the same.
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands,
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I've been.
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again.
If it suddenly ended tomorrow,
I could somehow adjust to the fall.
Good times and riches and son of a bitches,
I've seen more than I can recall
[Chorus]
I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine,
I wish I could jump on a plane.
And so many nights I just dream of the ocean.
God, I wish I was sailin' again.
Oh, yesterdays are over my shoulder,
So I can't look back for too long.
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me,
and I know that I just can't go wrong
with these...
[Chorus]
