Happy Thursday the 24th!

Another day passes with a bit of scattered rain showers, inching us away from drought. And more showers are expected for the weekend! That's what they say anyway, although by the looks of the satellite image that KHON2 provided it seems like nothing but clear skies ahead.
Speaking of the news, an interesting story was reported the other day about the slaughtering of a sea turtle named "Honey Girl" at Laniakea beach on Oahu's north shore. A memorial was set up for her on the beach where she would frequently sun bathe, complete with her picture, lei and flowers, and even an American flag. On Monday afternoon, a large male sea turtle named "Kuhina" made his way up on the beach toward Honey Girl's memorial, placed his head down and sat in front of it for hours, staring at her picture. A classic example of the animal kingdom displaying human characteristics!
