Jan.22

 I tried my luck fishing  this morning.
We went to the beach across from where Barb Nixon , Karen McKay and family stayed last year.
It is now referred to as Barb's House and Barb's beach.
Of course I never caught anything but it was fun anyway.
We saw this house across from the beach and 2 doors north of Barb and Karen's that we hadn't noticed before.
It had a sign out front for  Last Shot Taxidermy.
Most of the animals on the house are Axis deer which were introduced to Maui and are now over populated.
After fishing we went to a little used book store that Inger, one of our condo neighbors ,told us about.
Incidentally, it turns out Inger and her husband live only a few blocks from us in Nanaimo.
Anyway the book store was neat, run by the Friends of the Library. It was located up a long dirt road in behind the  sugar mill in Kahului in a building that used to be part of the Puunene School which is now on the historic registry.
All paperbacks were 25 cents except for all on the shelves outside which were free. We bought a few and picked 2 free ones.
The sugar mill is the only one left on Maui and is 140 years old. They also supply 7% of Maui's electricity by burning what's left after the sugar has been extracted from the cane.
A little patch of cane near the mill had just been burned which is very controversial here.
They traditionally burn the fields before harvest but the smoke and air pollution is becoming increasingly unpopular.
