LIFE OF PI - AN ADVENTUROUS MOVIE OF SURVIVAL
THIS MOVIE I SAW THIS WEEKEND WAS QUITE ADVENTUROUS AND SCARY. IT WAS ABOUT AN EASTERN INDIAN FAMILY WITH TWO BOYS WHO HAD TWO BOYS WHO WERE NOT USED TO THE ANIMALS. YOUNG PI WAS TAUGHT A LESSON BY HIS FATHER TO NOT HAND FEED THE BENGAL TIGER. HIS FATHER CAUGHT HIM BEFORE HE WAS JUST ABOUT TO HAVE HIS HAND EATEN. HIS FATHER TIED A GOAT IN FRONT OF THE TIGER AND HE IMMEDIATELY ATE IT.
AS THE STORY GOES BY THEY DECIDED THEY DECIDED TO GO THE ZOO AND MOVE TO CANADA WITH A FEW REMAINING ANIMALS. I ENJOYED THE ARTISTIC WAY AND THE STRUTS OF INDIA LOOKED AND THE BEAUTIFUL OCEAN.
THE FILM SHOWS THE ADULT PI TALKING TO A MOVIE SCRIPT WRITER ABOUT HIS ADVENTURE. A TERRIBLE STORM SINKS THEIR SHIP. YOUNG PI SOME HOW GETS OUTSIDE THE SHIP AND GRABS A LIFE SAVER AND JUMPS ONTO A SMALL BOAT. THE LIFE BOAT HAS A ZEBRA , A JACKAL AND SOME SUPPLIES AND AS HE FINDS A BENGAL TIGER ! THE TIGER EATS THE OTHER ANIMALS AND PI BUILDS A SMALL RAFT TO BE EPARATE FROM THE TIGER. AS THE STORY TURNS INTO MONTHS. NO ONE RESCUES THEMAND FEEDS FISH HE'S CAUGHT AND TRAINS THE TIGER TO TRUST HIM. HE IS NO LONGER AFRAID. THIS ACTOR WAS GOING THROUGH QUITE A LOT OF CHALLENGES ON HIS RAFT WITH FINDING DRINKABLE WATER FOR HIMSELF AND THE TIGER. IT WAS VERY AMAZINGTO WATCH AS THE SCENERY KEPT CHANGING AND THEAUDIENCE NEVER KNEW IF THE TIGER WAS GOING TO ATTACK HIM OR NOT. NO ONE RESCUES THEM FOR A MONTH AND PI CATCHES FISH AND TRAINS THE TIGER TO TRUST HIM AS HE FEEDS HIM FISH AND EVENTUALLY THEY BOTH SLEEP ON THE BOAT. HE'S NO LONGER AFRAID OF HIM. THEY SHOW FLYING FISH COMING BY ONE DAY. THEY SURVIVE MORE STORMS AND HE LEARNS THE TIGER CAN SWIM WELL. AS A VEGETARIAN HE LEARNS TO EAT RAW FISH TO SURVIVE AND CATCH DRINKING WATER AS IT RAINS FOR HIMSELF AND THE TIGER.
AS WE THINK THEY ARE GOING TO DIE THE BOAT FLOATS TO A LUSCIOUS ISLAND WITH LOTS OF FRUIT. BOTH HE AND THE TIGER BECOME HEALTHY AGAIN.
HE DECIDES TO REPLENISH HIS BOAT AGAIN AS HE DOES NOT WANT TO LIVE ALONE ON THE ISLAND. THE TIGER COMES WITH HIM. AFTER MANY DAYS HE FINALLY FLOATS TO MEXICO AND IS RESCUED BY SOME
MEN. THE TIGER GOES HIS OWN WAY AND HE CRIES AS HE WILL.NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN.

ART FOR ART'S SAKE
YESTERDAY I WENT TO CHURCH AND THEY HAD A GREAT SINGER AND THE MINISTER WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW WE CAN ALL IMPROVE OUR LIVES. THEN AFTERWARD I MET SOME FRIENDS WHO SAID THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE ART SHOW. I CAME BACK TO FEED MY CAT AND I DECIDED TO HELP WITH REMOVING AND TAKING DOWN THE ART SHOW. IT TOOK SEVERAL HOURS AND IT WAS PRETTY CONFUSING. NO ONE SEEMED TO BE ABLE TO DIRECT THIS WORK, BUT WE FINALLY GOT THE ART PIECES DOWN AND THE HEAVY BOARDS THAT WERE USED TO HANG THE ART WERE CARRIED UPSTAIRS ALONG WITH ALL THE ART. IT TOOK SEVERAL HOURS AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO ASK MORE PEOPLE TO COLLECT THEIR ART BEFORE THAT DAY SO THE MEMBERS WOULD NOT HAVE SO MUCH WORK CARRYING ALL THESE PIECES UP THE STAIRS. WE GOT TO MEET SOME NEW PEOPLE I HAD NOT SEEN BEFORE AND OTHERS WHO I DID KNOW.
WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE WORLD'S LARGEST SHARK SANCTUARY
THESE ISLANDS ARE IN THE NORTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN. THE COUNTRY IS PART OF THE LARGER GROUP OF MICRONESIA WITH THE POPULATION OF ABOUT 68,000 PEOPLE IN 34 LOW LYING ATOLS AND AND 100 ISLANDS.

HOW TO ENJOY KAWAII WITH A SMALL BUDGETI
MY FAMILY HAS VISITED MAUI, KAWAII AND THE BIG ISLAND MANY TIMES. IN MAUI WE SPENT MANY DAYS SWIMMING IN THE BEACHES, SNORKLING AND FINDING LITTLE SEAFISH AND BEAUTIFUL VARIETIES OF FISH. MY MOM CAME WITH US SEVERAL TIMES TO BED AND BREAKFASTS. ONE TIME ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO MY FAMILY HADA FUN VACATION AT A LARGE RESORT HERE. THEY HAD MANY FUN WATER SLIDES, SOME BEAUTIFUL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND SOME WONDERFUL POOLS NEAR THE OCEAN. THE OCEAN WATERS WERE PRETTY CHPPY HERE. WE WATCHED GALS DANCING HULA WITH FLOWERS. WE SAVED MONEY BY BRINGING OUR FOOD TO THE BEACH. WE PLANNED A NEAT TRIP TO HANA WHERE WE STAYED IN A BED AND BREAKFAST. THIS IS A RUGGED ROAD THAT IS ABOUT ONE LANE LARGE. WE SAW MANY FUN WATER FALLS HERE AND MY MOM STAYED IN THE SHADE IN THE CAR, WHILE WE EXPLORED THE OCEAN. THEY HAD MANY MOSQUITOS AND WE SAW SOME RUGGED PARTS IN OF MAUI. THESE ISLANDS HAVE MANY SUGAR CANE PLANTATIONS AS WELL AS SHOPS FOR TOURISTS. LAHAINA IS A LARGE ARTIST COLONY THAT HAS OPEN STUDIOS WITH ARTISTS WORKING THEIR CRAFTS. THIS ISLAND IS WHERE WE TOOK BIKE RIDES DOWN FROM THE TOP OF A LARGE CRAGGY MOUNTAIN AND RODE AROUND THE TOWN.

MY HUSBAND LOVES TO BODY SURF HERE. WE ENJOYED A B & B HOME AT HANALEI AND A EASY AND CALM BEACH WITH MAGESTIC MOUNTAINS AND A HISTORIC PLANTATION. THERE IS A CHILD'S SONG WRITTEN ABOUT THIS TOWN. WE ENJOYSED ESPECIALLY THE WEST COAST OF NAPILI STATE PARK. THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN FIND SOME NEAT 100' SEA CLIFFS ANDS A FEW HEIAU OR PREHISTORIC LAVA TEMPLES. BUILT OVERLOOKING THE SEA. SOME ARE NEAR PREHISTORIC LAVA TEMPLES BUILT OVERLOOKING THE SEA. SOME ARE NEAR PREHISTORIC VILLAGES AND OTHERS ARE NEAR FISH PONDS AND PETROGLYPHS.
WAIMEA CANYON IS A NEAT PLACE WE ENJOYED HIKING IN WHEN I WAS PREGNANT. THEY HAD MANY FIELDS OF TRADITIONAL PLANTS AND WE STAYED IN A B & B OVERLOOKING THE SEA. POIPU BEACH IS A FAVORITE BEACH WHERE FOLKS CAN VIEW SEALS AND SOME TIDAL URCHINS. KOKEE STATE PARK ABOUT 4000' HIGH AND IT RAINS MOST OF THE TIME HERE. THEY HAVE MANY CHICKENS RUNNING LOOSE HERE. THEY HAVE SOME NICE WATERFALLS AND VIEW OF A SMALL GRAND CANYON. THIS ISLAND IS FAMOUS FOR THE VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK WHICH IS NEAR THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE ISLAND. THEY HAVE ROADS THAT GET CLOSED OFTEN BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT FLOWING OF LAVA. THEY HAVE TRAILS BUILT OVER LAVA. THEY HAVE TRAILS BUILT OVER THE LAVA AND IT IS VERY RUGGED THERE. IN THE PARK THERE IS A BIG CRATER WHERE PELE THE VO0LCANO GODDESS LIVED.
THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL TROPICAL BOTANICAL GARDEN NEAR HILO THAT IS 17 ACRES OF BEAUTY. THE THEY HAVE A THREE TIERED WATERFALL. THE WAPIO VALLEY WAS HOME TO MANY KINGS AND HAS A HORSE DRIVEN WAGON RIDE.
THERE ARE MANY CRATERS AND TUBES IN THIS ISLAND. WE ENJOYED MANY OF THE BEACHES ON THE WEST COAST AND WE STAYED IN B & B HOMES.

EASTER ISLAND, A NATIONAL PARK IN THE PACIFIC ISLAND
THIS IS A POLYNESIAN ISLAND. IN THE SOUTHEAST PACIFIC ISLAND AT THE POINT OF POLYNESIAN TRIANGLE. THIS ISLAND IS FAMOUS FOR 887 EXTANT MONUMENTAL STATUES. THESE ARE CALLED MOAI MADE BY PAPANUI PEOPLE. MUCH OF THE ISLAND IS RAPA NUI NATIONAL PARK. IT NOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF CULTURAL/ENVIRONMENTAL DANGER OF OVER EXPLOITATION.
IN THE 1860'S EUROPEAN SAILORS AND PERUVIAN SLAVE RAIDING DEVASTATED THE LOCAL PEOPLES BY THEIR DISEASES. IT IS THE MOST THE MOST REMOTE INHABITED ISLAND IN THE WORLD.
THE MOAI ARE MONOLTHIC HUMAN FIGURES CARVED FROM ROCK IN 1250 TO 1500 A.D. MANY ARE STILL AT THE MOAI QUARRY. 100'S WERE TRANSPORTED. ALL HAVE LARGE HEADS AND THEY ARE THE LIVING FACES OF DEIFIED ANCESTORS. THEY STARE INLAND. MANY WERE THROWN DOWN DURING LATER CONFLICTS BETWEEN CLANS. EACH MAOI IS ABOUT 4 METERS HIGH, WITH THE LARGEST AT 10 METERS HIGH! THEY WEIGH ABOUT 70 TONS EACH! TO MOVE THESE IT TOOK THEM A REMARKABLE AMOUNT OF ENERGY. SOME ARE MADE OF TUFF AND OTHERS ARE OF BASALT. THE MAORI WERE INCOMPLETED WHEN INCLUSIONS IN THE ROCK SLOWED THEM DOWN.
POLLEN ANALYSIS AT THESE SITES DETERMINED THE ISLAND WAS FORESTED UNTIL C.E. TREE POLLEN DISAPPEARED.
SOME ORAL HISTORIES RECOUNT HOW VARIOUS PEOPLE USED DIVINE POWER TO COMMAND THE STATUES TO WALK. 1500 PEOPLE MIGHT MOVE THE LARGEST MOAI.

DRIVING IN SNOW IN THE MIDWEST
WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN OHIO IN THE WINTERS I USED A SMALL RAMBLER AND I WENT TO UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOL. I NEVER LEARNED HOW TO MAINTAIN A CAR. THE RAMBLER FINALLY HAD NO OIL AND THE ENGINE BLEW NEARBY MY HOUSE. OH WELL SINCE THEN I HAVE LEARNED MORE ABOUT CARS. FINALLY I GOT ANOTHER OLD HONDA AND WORKED AS A COUNSELOR IN DAYTON.
WHEN WE WERE ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN SOUTH DAKOTA, WYOMING, AND NORTH DAKOTA WE USED A TINY 2 CYLINDAR HONDA EVEN DURING THE THE WINTER. WE TOOK IT TO DENVER AND MET MY GREAT AUNT THERE. MY MOM TOOK THE TRAIN THERE AND WE DROVE HER BACK TO VISIT SOUTH DAKOTA.
ONE OF OUR TRIPS WE WENT TO MILWAUKEE AND ON OUR WAY BACK WE GOT STUCK IN A BLIZZARD. THIS SMALL CAR WAS JUST ABOUT BURIED IN IN THE SNOW. THE ROADS WERE SO SLICK WE JUST ABOUT SLIDE OFF THE BANCK. WE DID PLENTY OF SURVEYS ON THE PLAINS. WE HAD ANTELOPES AND BISON AND WILD HORSES DURING OUR SUTVEYS WE HAD TO STAY THREE NIGHTS IN A HOTEL IN MINNESOTA. HERE SOME CHRISTIANS SAID THEY WERE PRAYING WITH THE BIBLE. IT FINALLY LET UP. WE HAD NO PETS THANK GOD!
