"Tiffany Kidder Winn’s gift store Whaler’s Locke...as she assessed the damage Thursday, she came upon a line of burned-out vehicles, some with charred bodies inside them. “It looked like they were trying to get out, but were stuck in traffic and couldn’t get off Front Street,” she said. She later spotted a body leaning against a seawall. " #Maui #wildfires #disaster #death #Lahaina https://apnews.com/article/hawaii-wildfire-maui-lahaina-f5a7047d407f836f89e90dd7f10faa94

@ai6yr and @BakerRL75 can you please let me know if you have seen anyone posting numbers for family members trying to find loved ones in #Lahaina ? I swear I have seen them here but can’t find them again. Just found out a family member was living there and no one can reach them. Thank you.

"Harvesting" a lot of large tomatoes today, which appear to have been picked (and dropped, randomly) by #squirrels. No teeth marks, so they are all well washed and brought inside for ripening. #gardening

The pumpkin patch with a few dahlias and sunflowers mixed in. All done in pots - using about 25% compost to improve water holding capacity. Dahlias especially need more than just potting soil. #gardening #pumpkin #dahlias

LOL very large #spider currently #hunting on my #desk. Maybe it's telling me it's time to neaten my workspace up a bit. Moving too fast for a photo, however!

Many black-eyed susan flowers in a summer garden. Flowers have large, reflexed yellow petals with a brown center.

This was supposed to be a pumpkin. Hmmmm. I was waiting to see if it would round out but nope. #gardening #zucchini

Deep watering the dahlias tonight and hanging out with the garden supervisor. The boss says more catnip - but I can’t grow the stuff. It “mysteriously” disappears. #dahlia #gardening #heatwave

Beautiful reddish dahlia in full bloom

Hmm, maybe won't be doing much #beekeeping this weekend. Not without some serious hydration + A/C breaks.

Sigh, the mini parade that just drove up my street with American flags flying would be patriotic in prior times; now, it was a bunch of lifted pickup trucks and motorcycles full of what I assume are Jan 6th/antivaxxers. (same lifted pickups who were "rolling coal" at the local Muslim mosque and that accompanied the conspiracy-theory protests on the local freeway overpass).
