“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.”
Plato

Kermit the Hawaiian Monk Seal is back lazing on his favorite piece of beach at the skirts of Diamond Head here in Waikiki.

And no one can laze like a Hawaiian Monk Seal!
(See the YouTube link below to see what I mean)

He had been spotted near Waimanalo with a great fishing hook piercing his mouth. The scientists and volunteers charged with looking after these endangered celebrities wondered if tattoos and additional piercings might sweep the seal community.

Bad for the image, you know.

So they sprang to action, tightly netted Kermit out in the open water, and expeditiously removed the offending barb.

And now, as we began, Kermit is again lounging unconcerned here in Waikiki.
Please observe the velvet, er, plastic ropes and keep a respectful distance as law and custom both enforce.

Take a lesson from Kermit:

Easy, Bruddah;
Cool Head Main T`ing!
