I'll be filling in the gap between today & March 1. I've been in Hawaii the last four days, and for some reason I can't always access the BB codes on Imgur using my phone. But I have pics for all those days, so I'll post some Thursday-Saturday after I get home.

That will also give me a few days to ponder the deep question: is Hawaii adjacent to Oregon? I mean, I didn't cross any other state borders on the flight here.... 😁🤙
