Saturday.

The Volcano is officially “OFF” and the air has returned to sparkling blue.

According to the USGS:

Volcanic Activity Summary:
Lava eruption from fissure 3 (F3) on the Northeast Rift Zone of Mauna Loa continues but with greatly reduced lava output and volcanic gas emissions. Most lava is confined to the vent in a small pond. The short lava flows active about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the vent yesterday have stalled
The flow front in the Humu’ula Saddle region has stagnated 1.9 miles (3 km) from the Daniel K. Inouye Highway (Saddle Road) and is no longer a threat.

So, we are down to just one volcano. I assume that the guests will still come. Since one volcano was all we had when the plans were made.

Supervising the ocean.

My good buddy Billy and his lady got back from the mainland last week. And this morning Billy and I went out to enjoy the clear sky. We spent a lot of time watching the ocean. Then in the best Kona style, we went to the grocery for take out lunch. And we stopped in the new improved Book Exchange and Gift Shop. 

senbazuru at book exchange – $500.

They were selling a senbazuru (1,000 cranes) for $500. It was sort of a fundraising thing for the Book Exchange. 

Tonight is the village Xmas Parade. The first one since 2019. Of course, I will be going. It’s required. I can actually sort of see it from my lanai. But, you don’t get any candy that way!
