Given the failures of the US justice system as we increasingly slide into fascism, the Democratic Party should independently consult with the International Criminal Court on matters of human rights abuse perpetrated by Trump and his sycophants.

I really need to spend more time appreciating #Sunrises #SaintHelensOregon #SandIsland #ColumbiaRiver #MightyColumbia

More #tropical #tree #tunnels on single-lane roads outside of #Pahoa in the #PunaDistrict. #BigIsland #Hawaii

Take a drive with me through #tropical tree tunnels. This is the scenic drive on the way to the #HawaiiTropicalBioreserveAndGarden, just north of #Hilo. #BigIsland #Hawai’i

We often found ourselves sharing the water with solo #OutriggerCanoes. It’s all part of my #SerendipitousPath.

We ventured into
#HiloBay, past the breakwater, and into the long #Pacific swell. Conditions were so good that we contemplated continuing along the #HāmākuaCoast to #HawiHawai’i. While we had enough water and snack, we lacked a radio and nav lights, so we contented ourselves with the local sunset.

A quick look around #HiloInnerHarbor revealed three #MarieholmInternationalFolkboats, diminutive, but capable, and among my most favorite boats. I introduced myself to a gentleman aboard one of them, and he asked if I’d like to join him for a #sail. Well, of course.

My wandering journey led me to #HiloInnerHarbor where I hoped to discover whether #SuisanFishMarket still lit its neon sign, offering potential as a subject for #photography. Alas, no, though I may try another visit at dawn with an open mind.

I’ve no green thumb, but I appreciate the green thumbs of others. #LiliʻuokalaniGardens #Hilo #BigIsland #Hawaii

Several years ago, we needed a break from construction, so we decided to drive the #RedRoad in search of sprouted #coconuts in need of a more hospitable home. We loaded the truck bed with nuts, and proceeded to “plant” them in several areas of the property, including the edges of the driveway.

#PerspectiveShifting on #BigIsland. I’m already on the #windward side, but this scene from the #Beach At #OldKonaAirport is too nice not to post. So far, the ceiling fan failure in my minimalist #AirBnB is the closest thing to steppin’ on a pop-top.

Commencing my perspective-shifting tour on the #SerendipitousPath. #Kona #OldKonaAirport #BigIsland #Hawai’i #TheFloorIsLava

The marina in which I liveaboard my old sailboat is privately owned. There’s often not much money for wooden dock maintenance or fancy, bathroom affirmation art pieces, but we get by OK. #FDJT #Trump #Politics #GOP #Republican #Fascism #Disney #ABC #CBS #CNN #Fox #Kilmeade #TrumpPedoFile #NoKings

#KalamaWashington, a relatively recent hotbed of activity. This pic is for friends and clients whom I represented in the purchase of a luxury, view home on top of the ridge. #PacificNorthwest #YachtDelivery

Until moments ago, we were only motoring up the #ColumbiaRiver, but it looks like we may be sailing the rest of the way to our destination if the wind holds. #PacificNorthwest #YachtDelivery

We still have to go up the #ColumbiaRiver, but this anchorage will serve as a peaceful interlude, just as it did when I first ventured upriver thirty-five years ago. #PacificNorthwest #YachtDelivery
