Correction Correction Correction: No fake news here. About yesterday’s Naval vessel. I should have known from its name that it didn’t belong to the Navy. According to our local paper:
A U.S. Army logistics support vessel, or LSV, made a stop Wednesday in waters off Kailua-Kona. The 272-foot U.S. Army Vessel General Brehon B. Somervell (LSV-3) arrived off the Kona Coast Wednesday morning and anchored near Kahului Bay, which is located south of Lunapule Road.
The paper went on to say that its primary function is to haul tanks around. 24 tanks to be exact.
Don’t want to be guilty of FAKE NEWS.
The ocean wasn’t very swimmer friendly today. So, I wandered around and admired it from the shoreline and continued to recover. I am recovering so well that I feel like the eggs that I have scheduled for dinner might not get the job done. We’ll see.
Also took some pictures.
And a little wildlife photography.
And even a little movie for those who may be feeling a little landlocked. And chilly.
I rendered it fairly large so hit the fullscreen button if you really need 13 seconds of ocean.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.
