When Gayle and I married (48+years ago), it was not on our dance card to struggle against fascism, extreme hatred, anti-DEI, anti-intellectualism, extreme racism verging on hysteria ... in our retirement years. As we watch our carefully planed retirement fade, and attacks on SS, and on Democracy deepen, I wanted to find a happy place this morning. So much of our lives together is stored on film and print that have not been digitized that I settled for a trip to Hawaii' in 2001.

This at Waipi'o Valley and beach with our daughter to have fun and to explore the magnificent normal fault scarps - a happy memory.

Thank you #Republicans in #US.

For letting millions of people suffer due to stopping USAID
For losing money because of trade tariffs
For increase of #climatechange
For letting healthcare down
For letting science down
For letting education down
For letting the poor people down
For letting Ukraine down
For betraying Europe
For supporting genocide
... and for much more bullying around. And you still support it?
