Orion

Orion over Molokai may be the same constellation of stars that we see in Tacoma. But there he’s dressed in denim with steel studs. Here he wears black velvet and diamonds.

Molokai

Molokai again – the annual escape from gray and gloom and wet and cold and grim.

I came a day ahead of the kids this year; I want to get to the Saturday morning farmer’s market on the first day instead of the last day of my stay.

SeaTac was frosty, the mountains were snow-covered, and it was clear and COLD when I left.

There are clouds out here, but they’re DIFFERENT clouds.

My choice for a car rental? Minivan or convertible. Let’s see, now, which should I pick?

Picked up groceries in Kaunakakai on my way out to my condo at Wavecrest (13 miles east of town). Forgot coffee! John may say, “I told you so.” He suggested a packed of pre-ground beans from home for my first morning. I said, oh, no, I can get good coffee at the airport. Well, yes. If I REMEMBER!

Rained on the drive to the condo. It did not rain at all  on my last visit here. Fine drops, more like a very heavy mist. Then rained all night.

Clearing now at dawn, and the roosters are carrying on. There’s a plumeria tree off my deck!
