The Amateur Traveler talks to Pam Mendel of Nerd’s Eye View and the Holoholo Wale blogs about two less visited islands in the Hawaiian islands – Lanai and Molokai. Both islands are less developed than their neighbors and better islands for relaxing on a beach than filling up your time with excursions from the activity vendors. Molokai is the one of the two that stole Pam’s heart away with a more authentic Hawaiian experience. Molokai might be best known for recently sainted Father Damien who worked with victims of Leprosy (Hansen’s Disease) on the island until he himself succumbed to the disease.

The slowest series ever. In November 2007, I posted Part 1, arriving in San Francisco; in November 2008, I posted Videoblogging The Conversation; this year it s Vertigo. And they were all shot in November 2006. Holy shitsticks, I ve aged more in the last three years than this movie location has in the last 50! Formats available: MPEG4 Podcast File (.mp4)

Visiting again with friend Kevin, Uncle Weed discusses the negative impact salmon fish farms impart on the local aquaculture. Specifically, Atlantic salmon living in pens attract hazardous sea lice, are unable to spawn, are fed with small fish imported from South America, and are dyed to appear more attractive in the supermarket. Further the politically controversial fish farms add little benefit to the local economy.

The dark clouds have been rolling in over Malilangwe, but with nothing more than the promise of rain. It is November already and anytime from mid-month onwards we can expect the down pours to start. I can still remember last year, when I was caught in a heavy storm and the water was flowing straight through my clothes as I cautiously navigated the muddy roads– it makes one feel like a kid playing in the rain. I’ve been getting some daily exercise walking up and down the hyena hill to check on the new den. I eventually found the two older mothers using a den right on the top of the hill in a different den than I thought previously. When I first spotted one of the older cubs roaming the hill I used my “special call” to attract their attention so they wouldn’t freak out by my presence. They came straight away to inspect and then strolled over to a crack in the rocks. I followed and took up a position on a nearby rock. One big mother then came out the den to see what new clan member had arrived; surprisingly, she was completely relaxed with me being there. I stayed for the morning to observed and take photos and get them used to me being around the new den. The hyenas and wild dogs had a huge confrontation South of Manyuchi two mornings ago, but nothing serious enough for them to eat each other. I received an update on Magwaza the lioness and her three cubs. They were hanging around Chitindigova Hill just North of Bandama Pan, always in the hills these lions, the cubs are growing strong and the ex-Nduna lioness is still mixed up with the pride with one other lioness. This unknown lioness seems to be lactating, which means there might be some more little ones on the way. It may be too soon to jump to conclusions, there is really no way to tell for sure, unless some mad person climbs into the hill to take a look. I think I might camp out in my vehicle over next few days to see what I can spot.

La corrección en el lenguaje de Juan José Millás ( Cuerpo y prótesis ) Un chico y una chica muy jóvenes, de instituto, discutían acaloradamente en el metro. Me acerqué disimuladamente a ellos en el momento en el que la chica decía: -¿Y por qué las mujeres tenemos que tomar somníferos en lugar de somníferas? Lo lógico es que hubiera somníferos para hombres y somníferas para mujeres. -Eso es lo mismo que decir que los hombres deberíamos tomar aspirinos en lugar de aspirinas. Pues mira, yo me he pasado la vida tomando aspirinas y soy tan hombre como el que más. -Ya está. Si no te sale el macho no te quedas contento. Naturalmente que los hombres deberíais tomar aspirinos. Yo, si algún día tengo hijos, les daré aspirinos, del mismo modo que a las hijas les administraré antibióticas cuando les haga falta. -Y los chicos se sentarán en sillos en vez de en sillas, me imagino. -Pues sí, se sentarán en sillos y dormirán en camos y comerán el sopo, no la sopa, con cucharos. Las cucharas son para las mujeres. -Tú estás loca. Vete al psiquiatra. -Y tú al psiquiatro. El tren se detuvo, se bajaron y yo continué perplejo cinco estaciones más pensando que la chica llevaba razón. ¿Cómo era posible que una lengua tan sexuada como la nuestra cometiera unos fallos, o quizá unas fallas, de ese calibre? Todo el mundo, muy pendiente de que los ni�os no jueguan con mu�ecas ni las ni�as con tanques, y sin embargo se obliga a las mujeres a viajar en el metro (en lugar de en la metra) y a los hombres a subir al tranvía (en lugar de al tranvío). Angustiado por esta imperfección que acababa de descubrir en mi lengua materna (perdón, en mi lenguo materno), miré alrededor y vi a una chica leyendo un libro, lo que me pareció una perversión (debería leer una libra) y a un hombre rascándose la rodilla, cuando lo suyo es que se rascara el rodillo y así sucesivamente. Llegué a casa (a caso en realidad) y le dije a mi mujer que todo estaba patas arriba. Cuando le expliqué por qué me miró de un modo raro y me pidió que hiciera unas tortillas para la cena. -Unos tortillos, si no te importa  -le respondí-, puesto que me voy a ocupar yo del asunto. Si quieres tortillas, las tendrás que hacer tú misma. Por la noche, la oí hablar con su madre por teléfono (por teléfona, para decirlo con propiedad), y tuve la impresión de que me criticaba. Al día siguiente, se fue de casa, dejándome una nota en la que me pedía que no intentara localizarla. Le daba miedo ( o mieda, por emplear tu lenguaje ) vivir conmigo. La echo de menos, pero no podría estar con alguien que se expresara tan mal como ella. Así es la vida, o el vido, qué le vamos a hacer. Glossary: instituto means high school in this context. Somnífero means sleeping pill. Si no te sale el macho no te quedas contento (Essentially, You re not happy if you can t be the tough, manly guy.) The verb quedarse is being used here with the same meaning as the verb estar. llevar razón = tener razón = to be right
