		<description><![CDATA[Jenine just asked an interesting question in a comment to my post about kayaking the Hanapepe River: If you keep going up this river, does it lead you to Manawaiopuna falls? or Jurassic falls? Is the river county of kauai property? or does it become private property? Manawaiopuna is the &#8220;Jurassic&#8221; falls, seen in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In two evenings of protest, demonstrators and activists on Kauai blocked the channel of Nawiliwili harbor, forcing the ferry to turn around without docking. This is the culmination of months of efforts to force the so-called Hawaii &#8220;super&#8221; ferry to perform an environmental impact statement (EIS), during which time grass-roots activism on Kauai and Maui [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently discoverd Monkeywire.org, which has lots of interesting articles about primates in their archives. Many articles report on the latest behavioral research, wherein we learn that primates mourn their dead, understand money, steal only when others are not watching, try to fit in, and pick up human habits such as smoking. With more research, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another attraction at the fair was the vendor&#8217;s tent where we talked to Bob from Sol Systems, a local solar electricity contractor (website currently broken). Somewhere down the line, I&#8217;d love to install photovoltaic panels all over the garage roof and get free electricity. The problem is that the panels and all the other electrical [...]]]></description>

Today crews were still extinguishing the last of the smoldering piles. I went to the edge of the field near the marina today and saw a crew coming back and [...]]]></description>

Back in December, I saw a government notice in the newspaper about some company applying for permits to build a hydroelectric plant on Kaua`i. Alternative, renewable energy is good, especially for an island that [...]]]></description>
