When I first heard about the Maui fires I thought I hope the big tree survived because what really happened was literally unimaginable.

1970 - 1983 mostly. One of hundreds of match books & boxes from a hoard found in a newly purchased house.

A few months ago, if you told me that when playing Dreamlight Valley, my two favorite characters would be the old man and the lion who constantly wants to eat everyone, I would stare at you in confusion.

But compared to everyone else in the village, I just think they're neat!!!!!

Most people don't have any understanding of what has been lost in Lahaina Town. Not just lives and property, but an entire town.

Most people hear "a city/town in Hawaii" and they picture probably resorts. And there are plenty of resorts nearby. But those are all fine.

Lahaina was an old whaling town dating back to the original colonization by white settlers. Before white people arrived, it was the capital of the island, where the high chief ruled, including Kamehameha the Great. The buildings are old, wooden, and crowded together. Obviously that was a problem in the face of the insanely fast wildfire.

But these weren't mansions, Mc or otherwise. It was a tourist town, a destination for cute, spendy shopping and dining, full of art galleries. (OMG THE GALLERIES. There was so much ART lost. There was original Dr. Seuss art in one gallery when I was there in January. That's gone now. Etc.)

But the people who lived and worked in Lahaina were mostly working class, working retail and restaurant jobs, living in old apartments and small houses. Lots of elderly, lots of non-white in a wide range of ethnicities, old hippies who have been there since the 60s and 70s. Yeah they were probably a little better off than people who drive in from other places to work in West Maui, at least because their property was high value, if they owned. But they lived without A/C, hung their laundry on lines, biked to work, called in sick to go surfing when the waves were up. There was a Chinese cultural center and a Buddhist temple, two different structures, if that tells you anything. Multiple museums housing historic items and cultural centers.

And the town will be rebuilt, in some form, I imagine. Or re-developed, more likely. People who are now homeless, who can't afford to rebuild or pay for two residences while the recovery happens will be bought out by deep pocketed developers. If they rebuild Lahaina Town I'm afraid it will be Lahaina Town tm by Disney.

Another fake paradise for tourists with lava rock from the Big Island. Another bit of Hawaii swallowed by capitalism and climate change.

I'm not painting everything about Lahaina as it was as perfect. Front Street was an often gaudy display of brand names and hucksters out to shovel in the tourist dollars. And of course the politics of Hawaii are incredibly complex and fraught in so many ways. I'm just a mainlander haole. I will never live on the islands, despite my family there constantly asking me to move. But I've spent more time there than anywhere I haven't lived, almost all of that time in West Maui.

My mom works in a building that is not there anymore. She just described that job to me as "the last job she'll ever have" as she's 79 and very happy with working two days a week selling t-shirts to cruise ship people. My brother has worked in a gallery on front street for the last ten years.

I don't know. A city of almost 15,000 permanent residents is just gone. 50 or so are confirmed dead, in some horrific circumstances from what I hear.

My mom says people are just walking around with thousand-yard-stares, aimless, clutching cell phones trying to get signal (there isn't any, but you can get lucky and get a call through. Some texts are going in but not out.)

So I don't know folks. Keep those people in your thoughts. If you can donate, I think this may be a good place because it's going to lots of local orgs on the ground: https://www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/maui-strong

I keep thinking of new sad things.

Anyway I'm going to leave you with a picture I took while strolling down Front Street one evening.

HAWAIIAN ANCESTRAL BONES AT RISK ON MAUI

Hawaii News Now - April 5, 2023

Tensions surrounding the planned expansion of a luxury hotel on Maui are rising. The Grand Wailea, a Waldorf Astoria Resort, has been wanting to expand for years. But protectors of ancestral bones, or iwi kupuna, say enough already. “I feel I was really called to do this. Like I was tapped on the shoulder and said, ‘come and help,’” said Clare Apana, head of Malama Kakanilua. Apana, along with Hooponopono o Makena president Ashford Kaleolani DeLima, are committed to protecting iwi kupuna on Maui. DeLima’s ancestors are from South Maui, where the Grand Wailea is located. “You feel this wind? This wind is gentle. That’s because my kupuna knows that I’m here speaking about them and trying to tell the truth,” DeLima said. DeLima, Apana and others say the Grand Wailea was built on sacred burial grounds. They are against the resort’s plan for expansion and renovations. “This is one of the areas where you find concentrations of burials. You don’t find this on any other property. You may find burials … but you don’t find burials in the concentrations that are on this property,” Apana said. The Grand Wailea wants to add 137 guest rooms, enhance its landscaping, pool amenities and restaurant facilities and improve its infrastructure. Maui Planning Department recommended approving the project with conditions in 2019. But last month, a Maui Planning Commission’s appointed hearing officer recommended that the Grand Wailea’s permits be denied until they can make “adjustments in the areas of traditional and customary native Hawaiian practices, traffic and water.” The permits are needed to complete the expansion. The resort says the project scope was reduced by nearly 40% to reflect community feedback and avoid ground disturbance in areas of archaeological or cultural sensitivity. “The hearing officer’s report was a welcome confirmation of Grand Wailea’s enhancement plans and commitment to being a good steward,” said William Meheula, counsel for the resort. “We agree with almost all of the recommendations, including that the project’s archaeological inventory surveys and monitoring plans that were approved by the state met the legal requirements, and have submitted a response largely supporting the report and demonstrating the project has satisfied the necessary conditions to proceed if approved by the Maui Planning Commission.” The hotel says its commitment to giving back is reflected in the more than $5 million donated to nonprofits over the last seven years. The resort’s managing director added that the hotel employs more than 1,200 people, and that the expansion will create hundreds more jobs. Apana and DeLima said all they want is respect. “The right thing to do is malama the iwi,” DeLima said. “Show respect and not only make money....”

Ms Mar, my favourite list-maker, would love to know your thoughts about a liverpool Secret Santa exchange, since all we got for a Christmas video on best present was kinda boring lol.

who would get who, and what would they gift each other? 🤭

Okay, after messaging @curiousthyme to brainstorm we quickly discovered that this was accidentally sent on anon. oopsies 🤭 So thank you Ives for this brilliant ask!

In true teacher fashion, I used a name picker wheel to link players and then went from there. Some of them were just too good, honestly this wheel is a Liverpool girly

Putting them all under a read more because it's a long list

Lexi → Virgil - a personalised maté set, similarly to the one he gifted Ibou (whom I have seem to forgotten to include in this 😭 my poor petit)

Virgil → Alisson - a gift card for a spa day (+ a "we're sorry for fucking up so much" card signed by all our defenders)

Alisson → Wataru - a gift card for a local Japanese restaurant, for Endo to enjoy with his partner on a double date with Ali and his wife

Wataru → Pep - a new set of whiteboard markers and magnets shaped like football kit for all his tactical planning sessions

Pep → Cody - (like I said, this wheel was just being so kind to us) Pep would give him a Christmas ornament shaped like a Bossche bol (shout out to the 2 Dutchies who follow me and know what this is) to remind him of home

Cody → Lucho - seeing as Luis' partner is about to give birth to their second child, a mobile to hang over the cot. Maybe even Liverpool themed with tiny felt jerseys 🥰

Lucho → Joe - Joey would get a picture frame key chain so he can take his family with him wherever he goes

Joe → Ryan - A Scouse dictionary and an FC24 game but with Ryan's face photoshopped onto every player on the cover 🤭

Ryan → Joël - New shower curtains with Virg's face all over them to push the bromance agenda, and a friends mug

Joël → Darwin - A DVD set for friends to help him with his English and a little pin that says "chaos demon"

Darwin → Mo - A t-shirt with Darwin's cutie lil face as he says "thank you for support" + that photo in a frame. You know the one, where Darwin became Mo's bodyguard/sleep paralysis demon

Mo → Kostas - Some weights and a DVD on how to get abs + a t-shirt with a photo of Mo's abs printed on it in the meantime

Kostas → Thiago - (I told you the wheel is a Liverpool girly) Maui and Fuerte in cuddly toy form for their the new baby + a donation to Thiago's charity

Thiago → Domi - a beard care set, like one of those high end ones, and the game werewolves (iykyk)

Domi → Trent - (y'all, we were YELLING) a chain necklace "because that's what the girls like" + Hungarian schnapps/pálinka + a temporary tattoo of the CL trophy because his mum said no to the real one 🤭

Trent → Andy - (SCREAM) a BFF necklace, a Dua Lipa album, and his fave biscuits

Andy → Klopp - Andy would give Klopp the Scotsman treatment: full kilt + a set of bagpipes (bonus: Kloppo promising to wear the full get up when they win the league)

Klopp → Diogo - An annotated copy of Cruyff's book about football because Jots wants to go into coaching after his playing career

Diogo → Lexi - a personalised gaming chair with a maté holder, and a personalised game controller

This was so much fun, thanks babe!!

Brozone and the bunker part 3

We're in the second hallway now. Hopefully I don't get more problems. I added props and decorations in tubs. I tried to add the boxes with the shoes to be like "they belonged to the boys when they were little" but it doesn't really fit. Added a cork board with notices and such, like this brother is doing this on that day type thing.

Bruce, like Floyd has comfy vibes going on, he's got stuff for his kids like books and medals/ribbons. I went with sandy, beachy kind of vibes. Cosy but in a different way, like you'd wanna relax and take a load off. I added a couple of "restaurant" related items like the chalk board and cooking poster. I added neon lights (that for some reason don't act as lights so I had to cheat to get them to light up). I added workout equipment bc he may have a dad bod but he's built like Maui from Moana. Several lotions and body products. And a box of condoms bc they don't need no more kids (they were put there by John as a half-ass joke) and some baby stuff.

On to branchs room. Ignore anything that's floating, some cheats are harder to get to work than others. He's smart and resourceful so he has several bookcases of books. Unlike clay, he puts his books back on the shelf when he's done read. Poppy's added a few things here and there to bring some 'pop' into his space. The crocodile plush is meant to be crocko (I'm assuming it's from the TV series, I'm trying to watch it), branchs favorite childhood plush that has been worn and loved ( like that one Garfield plush).

Finally onto John Dory's room. Johns room was the most difficult to fill but probably my favorite. I'd like to imagine that once moving in he takes on that caring big brother role again. Not the bossy one, the one that tucked his little brothers in and patched up their scraped knee. I can see John (and maybe Bruce) being the only ones who know how to work the washer and dryer, so John does the laundry. He complains about it the whole time but he enjoys taking care of his little brothers anyway he can, he's trying to make up for lost time. I imagine he paces, a LOT, so I gave him room for that. I also gave him a white board bc I see him as someone who needs to visualize their ideas. I gave him the comfiest looking desk chair I could bc he's probably still gonna try and write all their songs but with his bad back it's hard sitting for long periods of time.

So there's all their rooms, the last part is gonna be the kitchen, dinning room, living room and bathroom and probably the girls if I can fit them in

Sheila and I and another couple drove US 35 through Wisconsin and along the Mississipi River today. I like the small towns that dot the route. For lunch we stopped in Stockholm, WI at the Humble Moon Folkstead and Saloon.

If it's Sunday and there's an NFL game on anywhere in the world I'm contractually obligated to order a bloody Mary. Here I am trying on someone else's nice sunglasses as I enjoy a bloody made with horseradish vodka. It came with a beer chaser too! My own non-prescription sunglasses have a little distortion. These Maui Jim shades made me think I was wearing prescription lenses. They were so nice.

This restaurant saves trees by having a single menu, handwritten on small sheets of padper. We ordered at a counter and passed around the list. Sheila and I each got a cheeseburgers with fried onions (hers had mayo too) and side of fries. The meal was excellent.

The four of us sat in the patio area which had a few of these propane heaters. Sheila ansd I are thinking of getting one for home. Had the heaters not been enough, there was a barrel of clean blankets we could have used to sit on or under.

Other ways to indicate "his" and hers," including an explanation if the first word wasn't enough of a hint:

For dessert we crossed the street to the Stockholm Pie Shop and General Store. A slice of pie wasn't cheap (like what is these days), but it was huge. We shared one slice.

From Stockholm we motored further south to Nelson, WI where we bought beef sticks and ice cream at the creamery there.

I started the 90 minute drive home. After a short time I asked Sheila to take over because I thought I might fall asleep. Excellent lunch, a cocktail, followed by a sugar rush. It took a lot out of me.
