Was staying within 5 miles of that rift that just today opened up under those streets a few days back. Raining like hell up on Kilauea, we headed up 3 times until the clouds parted and the rain eased and we could see lava from the Jager museum overlook. Folks I was staying with finally had their dream home all set up. I'd asked about the current eruption, but our host seemed nonchalant, said he was in a "class 2" lava zone or something to that effect. Bet he's not so confident today, they are between that lava and the ocean and Kalapana (former black sands beach) is just down the way as an example of what can go wrong when gravity and hot lava do their thing. | |||

Son and DIL spend time on the Big Island. He says they're gong you head over and check it out before the haoles start showing up. Oh, and he's a whole, the DIL - not so much.

Kilauea has been erupting at a low level for over 30 years. Has it gotten more intense lately? The geology of the Hawaiian Islands, especially the big one, is fascinating. The whole island is made up of these giant volcanoes. Mauna Kea, when measured from its base at the bottom of the ocean to its peak, is actually the tallest mountain in the world. | |||

Here is a webcam at the Hawaii Volcano observatory which might be interesting to keep an eye on. https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/obs...am.html?webcam=KIcam Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

My Berserkley neighbor hasn't mentioned anything (yet), but I am sure he will link the eruption to some man caused activity. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

LS1, I’m really confused about this - can you translate for this Florida boy? | |||

I don't know how it happened, but I think his "gong you head over" was probably meant to say "going to head over". "Haole" is a term used to refer to non-native Hawaiians, usually Whites, these days, but originally others brought in to work the plantations. It can be considered a synonym for "foreigner" or "outsider". I could be wrong, but I think his son being a "whole" may have been a messed up "haole". flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Haole is a derogatory term for non-natives, particularly whites In some parts of the island, the word is just a simple moniker for non-natives In other parts, it takes on the same racial undertones and hatred as things like the n-word Growing up in the highlands of Oahu near Wahiawa and going to missionary schools as one of the few white kids in the mid 70s I got to experience both ends of that spectrum. I definitely got a fair amount of ass beatings for being white...

Kevbo, I'm sorry about what you went though, but "haole" is NOT a derogatory term. It just means white person. It can probably be used in a derogatory manner, but the term itself is neutral. Both my parents are from Hawaii, and I've been there more times than I can count. I've been on the rim of Kilauea when it was erupting. | |||

Friend in Hilo sent me this  “I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” | |||
