		<description><![CDATA[[Title with apologies to a band I never got into, but I know my college roommate liked them.]

Autumn has been gaining hold lately, with colder winds, rainy spells, and generally unsettled weather. I don't understand weather well enough, but unsettled weather on Kauai means there are also periods when there are almost no clouds. When [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One unique character of Hawaii is that each island has evolved in the motoring age without the benefit of vehicular passage between the islands. This makes each island so much more independent and unique due to the limited movement of people and goods. For example, there are very few RVs (camping-cars) blocking the roads on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Update: I wrote this post without realizing it's Geography Awareness Week.

I've always had a passion for geography and maps. I love to just "read" an atlas, looking at details on maps and trying to imagine what life would be like in remote places. For the longest time, I wanted a globe, and now I have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An updated map from USGS shows the large aftershock which didn't appear as large on the first map. The magnitude of both has been revised upwards, now listed as 6.7 at 7:07am and 6.0 at 7:14am.

Both earthquakes were deep (18 and 12 mi--29 and 19 km--below sea level I imagine, so somewhat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We were woken up this morning by the earthquatke centered just off the Big Island's NW Kohala coast. The house shook gently for maybe 10 seconds, the wall hangings banged, one cupboard swung open, but nothing fell or broke. As I was waking up, I thought it was maybe a strong wind buffeting the house [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, it's not one of the Hawaiian islands, those are already all taken. But it's the closest you can get: Johnston Atoll is around 750 miles (1200 km) SW of Kaua'i. And it has all the trappings of a tropical paradise: 4 islands making up almost 700 acres in a blue lagoon, 20 miles of [...]]]></description>
