Dear Everyone:

GOOD NEWS - Gov. David Ige announced that:

●All Neighbor Island travel restrictions will be lifted June 15, in anticipation of the state reaching the goal of 55% of residents fully vaccinated.

●Once the state reaches 60% of residents vaccinated, the state will expand the vaccine passport program to incoming trans-Pacific travelers vaccinated anywhere in the US.

●When the state reaches 70% vaccinated, all travel restrictions will end.

At that vaccination level, the governor said, restrictions on businesses and the mask mandate will also be dropped.

WRT The American Civil War.

Dear Everyone:

If people want to understand the things that divide us today, then maybe they should try to understand what divided us in 1860, for that is, surely, still the source of our differences.

Netflix has the series. But, if you are a person who loves the beauty of our Country, and a person who respects the courage of our people, then be prepared to shed tears over this presentation.

That war is not over. And, I say again, if we cannot wipe out racial hatred, misogyny, and the cruelness of bigotry, then there is no point in working on anything else, for that too shall end in failure.

Our fight is for equal justice under the law, understand that, and never forget it.

Every fall and winter, humpback whales migrate to Hawaii to mate and give birth. Their presence doesn’t go unnoticed. Measuring up to 60 feet in length and weighing up to 40 tons, these marine mammals are hard to miss.
