None shall pass

The last standing section of a fence blown down by Hurricane Lala in Hawaii

This was all that was left of the fence in front of a gated community near Hawi after the passage of Hurricane Lala. When I saw it I immediately thought of Monty Python’s Black Knight!

Lantern

I was going to post here about how our power was back on and so it’s time to stow the battery-powered lantern that was our chief source of light these last few days. However, a new system looks like it’s forming in the central Pacific and it has the potential to reprise the events of last weekend. So I think I’ll keep the lantern handy, just in case.
