A vaccine that prevents cancer: ‘Scientists say the HPV vaccine works so well that this type of cancer could be eradicated in the near future.’
Over 99% of cervical cancers are caused by this virus—so preventing the infection prevents the cancer. Amazing news!

Does anyone here on Maui have access to hens of egg-laying age for sale?
We just got our coop and we’re hoping to buy some chickens.

The average family of 5 uses 400-500 gallons of water per day.
This is our water use this week for our group of 5 (plus 2 guests for 1/2 the week).

Egg hunt on Maui: 🥚
The shortage has been real, but today my mom got to Costco early and raced through the store to score a 60-pack (limit 1). 🤯
1️⃣ Who needs 60 eggs?
2️⃣ Wouldn’t half-dozen packs make more sense?
We’ve been giving ours to friends in need. 🤷🏻♂️ #EggShortage #MauiLife"

After only 4 years my Craftsman power washer is kaput.
It is so frustrating when equipment fails after a short time.
They really don’t make things like they used to.

A man in Indiana made an AT-AT costume for his horse, intending to only get a few pictures before removing it. When he took off the headpiece the horse got upset and insisted that he put it back on, which made the horse happy again. Now the horse isn't allowing him to remove any piece of the costume

YES, that is SNOW in HAWAII!
It is a Snow Day today on Maui as Haleakeala Crater gets a dusting of snow after last night’s incredibly violent and intense thunderstorms.
Believe it or not, we will see snow at the top of the 10,000+ peak once or twice a year.

Love this! With so much pressure to act like others in order to fit in or to advance your social or job status, it is becoming more and more rare to find people that are true individuals.
Always stay true to yourself with one caveat . . .
The key is to always be open to improve who you are.

I had the privilege of meeting Larry here while visiting Kangaroo Island in South Australia. This kind soul was rescued and lives on a reserve (he was rewilded several times, but kept returning to to the reserve).
Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

Hawaii is considered the 25th Most Bicycle Friendly State in America.
Here in Maui, there are very few dedicated / safe bike paths and they are disconnected to places people want to or need to go.
A good friend was killed last year here. We need more infrastructure.
