Today blizzards were forecast for the high-elevation purple areas; we were safely at sea level in the Kailua-Kona area. I’ve always enjoyed Minnesota snow days.

Lab Draw In Paradise
Hiked, labs, Target run, late lunch in beach bar, nap. Life is good. Labs: Waited near palm trees for a blood draw to build the case to be accepted into a phase 2 clinical study. Grateful I can travel while staying on top of my prostate cancer.

Industrial Esthetic
It may not be the prettiest cycling route, but it does have a gritty, desolate beauty. Today, Saturday, was a good time to explore this industrial area as there were no heavy trucks on the road.

Honoring Ordinary People
On my cycle ride: Sheridan Memorial Park. Surrounding plaques honor veterans of ten wars while reflecting on the futility of so much conflict. I appreciate how this memorial focuses on the ordinary people called to fight in wars, rather than leaders.
Afton State Park
Caught a glimpse of a ski run as we hiked the trails of Afton State Park. The snow probably came out of a cannon rather than the sky.
Minnehaha Falls (Fall)
Took the obligatory photo of Minnehaha Falls while waiting for a friend.
