I got a lot done yesterday: got a PO Box at the Kahului Post Office (had to have the clerk show me where it was since many of the box numbers were rubbed off...why?); got a storage unit to stash all the boxes of stuff for a couple of months, opened an account at the credit union, got my MCC photo ID and UH email.
The MCC campus seems weirdly unpopulated. I guess 4,000 students can spread themselves pretty thin.

When I returned to the Hibiscus Room I visited Ruby the macaw. That beak looks extra sharp - no poking fingers through the cage wires!

I walked around Wailuku looking for a likely place to scrounge up some dinner, without much luck. Since I wasn't able to locate the market that showed up on my BlackBerry navigator, I ended up with a pile of Chinese buffet that was edible, but more or less overcooked and unappetizing. It was somewhat improved by two Steinlagers, but just barely. I'll put out a little more effort next time.
It was a noisy evening in the Hibiscus Room, what with the yard guy raking and chopping and mowing and leaf blowing all directly outside my window. It takes a lot of work to beat back the ever-encroaching Hawaiian vegetation.
Menacing vegetation threatens the doorway to the Hibiscus Room.
But after sunset, things gradually quieted down until all I could hear was the fan in my room.
