How To Pretend You're In Hawaii - HereOnThePrimalEdge - 11-24-2020
The NY Times posted a story today on Hawaii, mostly geared for those not already here, although some of us on Punaweb might relate with sections like:
Become an armchair volcanologist
Peer (safely) into the calderas of volcanoes with webcams, curriculum materials and science podcasts on the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park website. Along the way, meet locals like the Hawaiian hawksbill turtle and the wild nēnē (goose), and listen to the dawn chorus.
It's a good story with great photos that you might share with friends and relatives on the mainland this Thanksgiving week. It's not like being here but then what is?

The sounds of a palm forest envelop you in this meditative video from the Merwin Conservancy, which safeguards the Maui home and 19-acre palm forest of W.S. Merwin, the former United States poet laureate and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner. You’ll soon forget you’re at home.
