at the beach.
...we want to know what BP officials knew and when they knew it.... But if we don’t broaden the horizons of our questions, we run the risk of reinforcing a fairy tale that says we can have our oil and our environment, too. The worst outcome of the mess in the Gulf would be the perpetuation of the conceit that error and greed can be regulated out of the worldwide oil industry.
why a spill-inspired boycott doesn't make sense by Peter Maass
The current disaster was not anything brand new, but just the same old thing.
Looks like 16 miles (round trip) from Haleiwa Beach Park to the UH Ag Experiment Station on north shore.
I rode on the wrong side of the road on the way out so that I'd be on the beach side. Had to pull over a few times for bikers coming towards me (they were on the correct side, so they had the right of way). Coming over the hill to Waimea Bay was tricky since there is no room and cars parked there. Had to walk the bike around cars.
After Waimea Bay there is a bike path. It's twisty and bumpy and more shady than Kam Hwy so more fun to ride on than the road. And that's not even counting the fact that there are no cars buzzing by.
Coming back was much faster going on the correct side of the road. Coming down the hill from the Waimea Bay overlook I got into top gear. Was going pretty fast and worried that I'd crash, but didn't.
Before my ride I got my stock pedals replaced with some new platform pedals at the Bike Factory.
Tried out the Pearl Harbor bike path today. Not the whole thing, but some of it. Google says I covered 4 miles, so counting back and forth I did an 8 mile ride today. It's a very different view of things than what you see on the road. Some good, some bad.
Friendly neighborhood power plant?
Taro/kalo in the river. You can't tell from the pic, but the leaves were huge. Maybe 4 feet across.
Military golf course.
A very scary bridge. I went across and saw that the path/trail there went no where. I came right back.
A collection of garbage in the water. Ick.
