New year, new well

A new water tank under construction near Hawi, Hawaii

Reflecting on flight delays

Reflections in a window at Honolulu airport in Hawaii

These are the kind of photos you take when flights are delayed. Last week, our flight to Honolulu was delayed for 20 minutes because only one runway was operating at our destination due to heavy rain and thunderstorms. Coming back, the flight was delayed twice for reasons that were never explained. The upshot was that, after getting up at 5:30am to make the outbound flight, it was close to 11:00pm before we got home again!
