Notes

A memory.

Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros, Carries On

I listened to this song for the first time while standing on top of the Haleakala volcano in Maui this summer. My sister and I were sharing ear buds, and my whole family was there. It was about 5:30 in the morning and we were standing on the summit watching the sun rise above the clouds, shivering and dancing around to stay warm. It was very visceral and special and an experience that I will always associate with this song, and one I hope to never forget.

I just wanted to record it somewhere so I’ll have access to it in the future.

It could very well be snow or water, but it’s an ocean of clouds.

A picture I took of Science City from the summit of Haleakala in Maui, HI.
My dearest ambition is to hike to Science City, find Bill Nye, and beg him to take me into his tutelage (a la that scene in Kill Bill 2 where Beatrix must prove herself worthy of studying under Pai Mei).  Because you know that’s where he lives. Santa Claus lives at the North Pole. Bill Nye lives in Science City.

Saw these motionless, rusted out windmills while driving on Hawaii’s Big Island. When we asked a local about them he told us, “Oh, they got old and stopped working. So instead of fixing them they just built new ones over there.”
That’s like buying a reusable water bottle, but instead of refilling it when it’s empty you just drop it on the ground and buy another one.
