Who takes the
Cold Mountain Road
takes a road
that never ends
the rivers are long
and piled with rocks
the streams are wide
and choked with grass
it's not the rain
that makes the moss slick
and it's not the wind
that makes the pines moan
who can get past the tangles
of the world
and sit with me
in the clouds

Cold Mountain (Han Shan)

from "The Collected Songs
of Cold Mountain"

Here's a livestreaming webcam from Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa. Lots of wind (as usual in Waikoloa) and some smoke in the air. I have to wonder how hotels manage these situations - I hope they aren't demanding that staff remain at post while their homes nearby may be at risk!

Hoppy #BunnyButtFriday! We’ve almost made it to the wheekend! -Skye🩵 #SkyeLove #BunnyFlop

Went out picking this morning before it got too hot again. Lots of things starting to come ripe now, although most of the tomatoes are small and scarred from the storms earlier in the year. (They still taste mighty fine, though) The younger, unripe ones are looking much better. Put the surplus out for the neighborhood again.

Another of the administration’s favorite tricks, intimidating journalists’ sources, stops newsgathering before it starts.

But when a story slips through the cracks, bullying those who share it offers a censorship backup plan.
