exploring an interesting roadway with sights along the way to a well known town. Unbeknownst to spouse and I, the visit to the top of the volcano required the wearing of a sweater or jacket as the temperature was below freezing with flurries of snow. Needless to say, we were uncomfortable walking around this crater in summer attire. The road to a popular town with renowned sights along the way suddenly found us driving on a one lane road designated for two way traffic. In addition, this section of the road was constructed on the side of a high mountain with no guard rails installed, to prevent a vehicle from possibly descending off of this mountainous cliff side road. I was petrified and hoped that a car would not be coming from the opposite direction. At one point along the way we were finally able to turn the car around. Family members in our rented vehicle were silent until we safely arrived back on the roadway off of the mountain. I remarked to spouse that signs should be posted warning people not to drive on this dangerous stretch of roadway. There is a kind of bird native to Maui that caused me considerable angst while driving. This bird is a mynah bird that travels in small groups and lands at an alarming rate on roadways in front of oncoming traffic. I remarked to family that this kind of bird appears to be suicidal. Having a good time on the island of Maui, we departed with many souvenirs and sections of Plumeria branches that did bloom after a year in potted soil.
Retrospective: It appears as though some people purposely try to aggravate and harass other people for apparently no rhyme or reason. In an evil society, it is very difficult to please many people. All people should be informed of procedures, requirements and other “surprises” applicable to them before agreeing to become involved in a situation. I was aghast to find such a dangerous section of roadway in the United States, State of Hawaii. I could not find any information to explain the strange behavior of the Hawaiian mynah birds.
