| 11/30 -- I remember reading on Mauinews.com a few months ago about local students trying to repair the fencing along Maalaea Bay Harbor's beach. Sea Turtles come ashore to lay their eggs. In sections, the road (Route 310) running alongside the harbor can be 10 feet from where the sand ends. Without the fence, the turtles will wander past the sand and into traffic. The students posted signs asking for people to please leave the fence intact. It looks like it needs a little maintenance. |

| 11/30 -- MSNBC.com had a cute article on
Patty Smart's retirement from Alohah Airlines after 50
years of service. The best part I thought was the
description of the prankster pilots.
"One time, she got into a tight spot when her skirt flew out the window. As she was serving pineapple juice to passengers, she spilled it all over her uniform. She changed into a pair of pants and washed out her skirt in the lavatory. When she tried to air-dry the skirt by letting it flap in the breeze from the cockpit window, one of the pilots snatched it and let it fly out the window. "I wanted to kill those two," she said. "I wanted to get their two heads together and whack them. They were laughing and laughing." The joke didn't stop there. Another pilot on the next flight out radioed her plane and teased that he had caught the skirt as it went flying by. Other pilots also heard the radio report of the flight attendant who lost her skirt, and the story quickly traveled around the world." For the whole story, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22025684/
