Instead of High Surf warning, it should be Men Wearing Banana Hammock. Which is the first thing we saw as we walked in. This was taken at Hanalei Bay. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanalei_Bay I will be slowly coming back on line next week. Until then, peace. B
Found inside a Peugeot 206...
It reads:
"Mr. Thief
Please don't open my car anymore, cause if you think that after 10 times I would actually have something inside - I'd be dumb!
Thank you"
Memorable...
Warning
Jenny Joseph
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people’s gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Eternal goodness waits for you

A Cooper's hawk spotted a pair of shorebirds on the beach and launched itself after them.
He captured one and held on with a death grip.
Ultimately it flew off with his meal.
Rondeau Bay.
Accipiter cooperii
A Cooper's Hawk captures a bird with its feet and kills it by repeated squeezing. Falcons tend to kill their prey by biting it, but Cooper’s Hawks hold their catch away from the body until it dies. They’ve even been known to drown their prey, holding a bird underwater until it stopped moving.

This place is strange. I have no idea what this place is or what goes on here... But they have an IR camera outside that points at the door. Sketchy!
Warning sign near Christina's place, I have a weird sense of humor so this makes me smile whenever I see it.
