Sad but true

I'm so sorry to inform you of the beginning of the demolition of the Koloa Monkeypod Trees. The bulldozers rammed the trees. The Garden Island News had in on the front page today.
It's a sad day for Kauai.

Leap Day

While the Monkeypod trees are being trimmed, black plastic now surrounds and hides the dirty deeds. Green Energy, a biomass plant, gets a thumbs up from the Planning Comission. How is it that "The Garden Island" could cut down beautiful trees and approve a plan to clear and burn up others?
I'm glad this day comes only once every four years.
