reopening the roads in Puna

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

Talk story again in 2027!

In the meantime, stay dry and sit tight in the back seat asking “are we there yet?” From ironyak’s link:

The Public Works Department says it will resume monthly community meetings via Zoom in order to keep the community informed on the projects. The meetings will be held “every third Friday at 12 p.m. starting Sept. 19.” Officials say the online sessions “will provide progress reports and allow the community to ask questions.”

Ran across this "ride-along" showing off the Pohoiki Road progress (may want to lower your volume, or raise it I guess, depending on your hearing's "blown away" level). "Hover" planks and personal drones? The Snow Crash cyberpunk future is here, just not evenly distributed.

Just watched that a couple nights ago! Def gonna watch again...with sound off (not to my taste, heh).

At the 3:30 mark, look at the rocks to the side of the new road. They sure will end up eating a lot of cars, just like the old Saddle Road used to do.

Cool. As for rocks on the side of the new road, aren't they just about everywhere?
