The Coleman fuel can - Harvey's. Howard's problem. Sunnie. Harold. Food- diet- money for mother's care- or Medicare? 

The bed fan- the ptgs [[paintings]] of mine left in Honolulu & Kauai. I didn't realize how deeply involved I had been all summer with the big & the little problems of family & relatives. 

[[strikethrough]] Now I [[/strikethrough]] Plane to Kahului at 1130. 
Maui Beach Hotel. A Datsun. A drive to Iao Valley. The very very beautifully strange mts. [[mountains]] there. Took many photos & a great experience of mts. 
Drive to Lahaina. (1) big fancy hotels are Kaanapali, as old old town of small shops in old bldgs. 
Back at 6 to hotel- & a Chinese buffet supper. 

Sun 29th The Datsun wouldn't start easily- its choker was missing. Exchanged it for a Chev. Nova. Then up to Silversword Inn at 3000 ft in Kula. Lunch in lodge. Then a 45 min drive thru beautiful Montana-like yellow-golden grassy country. Then the crater at 10000 ft. The most [[strikethrough]] out [[/strikethrough]] stupendous, awesome, magnificent landscape I have ever seen! How to describe it? 

On[[strikethrough]] the [[/strikethrough]] to a higher lookout point. A hike into the crater. 
Rocks, shadows, and a cold wind unease with breathing. The moon. Down to a lower lookout for a very grand view of the cinder cones, now more somber in color, more deeply shadowed.
