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."

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.
Warmly, cloudia
