Come to Hawaii - LATER

A  L  O  H  A !

A Voggy Day in Honolulu

" Honor has not to be 

won;

 it must only not be 

lost. "

Schopenhauer 

"One of the lessons of history

 is that nothing

 is often a good thing 

to do 

and always 

a clever thing 

to say." 

Will Durant

Normal Blue Hawaii Skies

"Make visible 

what, without you,

 might perhaps never 

have been seen."

Robert Bresson

The volcano on the Big Island

is pouring out

copious amounts

of Volcanic Haze,

called VOG

as it has for over

a quarter century!

Sulfur, 

deep Earth gasses,

and who knows 

what -

Usually, this is not

a problem

as the Trade Winds

blow it all away.

But, with southeast winds

the VOG makes it's way

here to Oahu.

Throats get scratchy,

the blue sky goes dull;

Moods are effected.

To me, pewter November days

are rich with memories

of growing up in Philadelphia.

The sky there seemed

shades of grey

all winter.

But I feel for our visitors.

Though they enjoy

this lovely place,

they may never know

the SPARKLING WONDERS

of our usual climate.

When the VOG blows away

(probably this weekend)

it's as if everything

goes saturated with

loveliness.

So don't visit

till the weekend

except by blog

(this one first preferably)

Do you have local issues?

Snakes? Sink Holes,

Cults?

Do share in comments.

I love YOU guys!

Thanks SO much

for paying this visit.
