Earlier today I saw a Coast Guard helicopter flying around the Kapoho area of the Big Island. I’ve tried to contact the Coast Guard to see what it was about but I just received an answering machine.
Here is a picture I took from my iPhone. You can just barely make out the helicopter:
Anyone know what was going on?

Working at the limits of what can easily be expressed, filmmaker Peter Mettler takes on the elusive subject of time, and once again turns his camera to filming the unfilmmable.
From the particle accelerator in Switzerland, where scientists seek to probe regions of time we cannot see, to lava flows in Hawaii which have overwhelmed all but one home on the south side of Big Island; from the disintegration of inner city Detroit, to a Hindu funeral rite near the place of Buddha’s enlightenment, Mettler explores our perception of time. He dares to dream the movie of the future while also immersing us in the wonder of the everyday.
THE END OF TIME, at once personal, rigorous and visionary, Peter Mettler has crafted a film as compelling and magnificent as its subject.

I just saw this weird looking worm crawling around. I wonder if this is actually one of those Hawaiian blind snakes?

Not all of the world’s wonders can be as cute as the koala or graceful as the gazelle. Today we’re celebrating Hagfish Day, the annual event to honor the denizens of the deep that may be seaworthy, but aren’t so see-worthy. As fantastic as they are repulsive, these marine misfits are marvels of evolutionary ingenuity.
A Hagfish
Slime, or mucus is used by many animals both on land and in the sea, but Hagfish have the outstanding ability to defend themselves by producing an incredible slime when touched.
It comes from the glands along the side of their body, and within minutes literally liters of it can be produced. Despite being one of the most primitive vertebrates alive, this rare species is certainly strange and wonderful! Our oceans harbor amazing species that despite being a bit weird, are still worth protecting.

My brother just posted the following picture on Facebook from the time that he was a Police officer with the Los Angeles Police Department.
"I remember this happened on Dec. 31, 2004. There was a tour bus picking up people from the house in this picture so that they could go to Las Vegas to celebrate the New Years. So you can imagine what happened next. A tour bus, full of tourists, and all of them seemed to have a camera. I'm sure this photo made its way to one of the "Epic Fail" websites." ~ Kane Meyer

I heard one of my dogs barking profusely yesterday and I went out to see why he was trying to get underneath my car. I figured a cat must have been trapped under there… but boy was I shocked when I saw that Maka had found himself a Jackson Chameleon and he was set on getting it!
Maka Meets Jackson
The chameleon ran out the other side of the car… but Maka quickly figured it out and stopped him in his tracks.
I got you!
The chameleon ran back underneath my car… so I figured instead of just sitting there and letting my dog bark his head off until he caught the damn thing… I figured I would tie up my dog and then let the buggah run off on his own.
Brah... you were almost Maka's Dinner!

I guess RJ Reynolds is starting to get into the “Wordless Wednesday” thing as well. It appears Camel Cigarettes are offering a buck off on their packs on Wednesdays at a local store here in Pahoa.
