Let the rich jerk who threw a large rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal be a lesson. Thankfully, she is OK. He was arrested in WA state after he fled Maui, has been sent back to Hawaii for trial, and is now facing jail time.

Things that make me happy:
We have a grey whale (CRC-2688) visiting. Every single time I hear about them, it’s in the context of people reminding each other to give our hungry whale lots & lots of space.
No drones! No boats! Back up & slow down!!
