It looks very slippery. As in slip and fall.

Cliff Winston's new book on more effective actions to correct market failures and improve the economy will be out in December, just in time for holiday reading, lol. It's a #Caturday post because it was written in our late cats' room. It's always their room. #economics #economy

Trump's enduring popularity with his devoted base is an artifact of symbolism speaking to their desires, not what he really is or does. He seems to be what they want him to be. #TrumpDelusionSyndrome #DonaldTrump

The palila is the last finch-billed native honeycreeper. These rare birds have all but vanished from the Hawaiian Islands, with the exception of a few small patches of high elevation forest on the west side of Maunakea on Hawaiʻi Island. 🟡⚫⚪

#Palila #HPR #Birdtober #HawaiiBirds

We stopped in large part because of Jennings and deer in headlights Blitzer

Until April-le

The colors aren't very intense but look at thatOctober sky?

Happy Birdtober!
🖤 ʻAlalā (Hawaiian Crow)
Corvus hawaiiensis

The ʻalalā is the comeback story we all love — a smart, social crow with a team dedicated to returning it to its Hawaiian forest home. Let’s cheer on these hopes for its continuing recovery in Hawaiʻi!

Crisp sunny mornings and crunchy golden leaves are here, so we’re celebrating with this wonderfully seasonal woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige.

Question is what did I lose 2020-2025. #pandemicjournal #pandemicmemories #covidisnotover

The adventure and pleasure of travel. We cancelled so many plans during the pandemic, then got older. The sense of freedom and boundless futures. Sometimes there IS no "next time."

We are pleased to be able to say that our park store staff, working w/ NPS rangers, has reopened the Pu‘uhonua o Hōnaunau NHP Visitor Center on Hawaiʻi Island. 🌴

HPPA staff are here for your questions, for keepsake sales, & just to talk story, too! 😃

Be gentle on the park.

#PartershipsForParks 💪🏽

We (#HPPA) will join with the wonderful Friends of Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau NHP (FPOH) to donate funds to enable the reopening of the Royal Grounds & the Pu’uhonua during the Federal shutdown. 🤝
Our goal: help the park ensure the sacred grounds are protected & that visitors have an information resource.

Happy Birdtober! ❤️ ʻIʻiwi (Scarlet #Honeycreeper)
Drepanis coccinea

The brilliant red ʻiʻiwi is a forest jewel of Hawaiʻi! Its curved beak fits perfectly into native blossoms like ʻōhiʻa lehua. Look for this bird at Haleakalā & Hawaiʻi Volcanoes national parks above 5,000ft.

Plenty more time that night. Thought there always would be more times.

On my walk this afternoon. Wasn't there yesterday. #BeKind

I sent a gift to a cat home today thinking of you. You bring me smiles and uplifting philosophy you are quite a cat voice, Georgie! Love you.

Lawrence of Arabia. That was probably the only one.

Always loved. #cat
