One of the nice things about living here in Kekaha, the Waimea Library is only about three miles away and has plenty of books of interest to me. It is so relaxing to read in 15B. The only problem is that I start to feel guilty about not doing other things on my agenda...like making these web pages. I'm just finishing the last of two books I checked out.
I read a lot about Polynesia's past and present. In my readings of explorations in the Pacific, the Wilkes Expedition would be referred to frequently, but I had never read any journals or other accounts about that expedition. When I checked the recent titles rack, I saw and checked out these two books:

Pirate Ray is a farmer...bersides the one above, he's working two other farms...banana, basil and flowers. They pretty much keep him busy at home. Kaua'i is the Garden Island, but I'm not even a gardener. I want to be free to travel and not have to worry about animals and plants being cared for back home. My little garden in front of 15B doesn't take much of my time and will be able to make it through three months of me traveling. It's different, but I like looking at it while I cook or do dishes. These photos were taken on the 30th before I did some weeding:

Greg, a classmate of Farmer Tom's from Florida high school days, who has been working in Saudi Arabia, sent me some photos of a couple of ancient (~1000 yr old) Neolithic throwing sticks which have been found in a lava tube "cave" -- in Harat Kisb, in western Saudi Arabia. They are bent, and have an aerodynamic shape, and were probably used in hunting. Boomerangs!

The photos are by Greg's caving buddy John Pint, of SaudiCaves.com. Thanks Greg.
That's it for this Artmail.
