Took advantage of the health club’s dressing room mirrors to get a picture of the hair combs I bought on Maui – they’re joined by beaded elastic. Available online soon, will post link later. And yes, I’ve lost some wait. Makeup? How quaint. Via: Flickr Title: Recursion! Hair Gadgetry By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 7 Mar ’10, 12.46pm CST PST

Locals now starting to arrive up here, they…

We moved to a nearby church lot after getting coffee and bagels. Now have power, water, restrooms, snacks. David now giving tech support on how to send texts to other tourists that don’t know how. Traffic light on Hwy 31. We heard that access to south Kihei Rd. will be restricted, cops want it cleared by 10am. Latest update we had is 7 ft waves expected at Kahului after 11am, monitoring radio and Pacific Tsunami Warning Center website. Friend is working at my office today (I’m a corporate travel agent) reports OGG operating for now, no delays. Airport here is…

Latest radio report: mayor of Maui County reports 7-8 ft wave expected at 1130am HST at Kahului. To me this may mean airport closed, it’s going to be a long day. NOAA Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
