Nothing new to report.  Just doing the daily upkeep.  Luau leaves were moved to the third farm and are doing well.  Ti leaves were started on the third farm too.  Animals still damaging plants at first farm.  Can't catch'um, we find the damage the next day.  Too many hours of not being there is the problem.  Not enough food in the forest to feed wild pigs.   We started selling ti-leaves again to halau's and laulau makers - dad is able to help bundle the ti-leaves.

        THE CURSE OF PELE 

Hawaiian legend says that anyone who removes a piece of volcanic rock from the Hawaiian Islands will incur the wrath of Pele. The Hawaiian volcano god, Pele, is a jealous god, and is very protective of her children. Being a volcanic god, her kids are the rocks that come from molten magma cooling off, and she wants them to stick around.

Taking a small volcanic rock home may not seem like much of a big deal-until the curse settles in. Many vistiors returning rocks report all manner of bad luck striking them; the death of family pets, the loss of a job, a sudden illness- all of it and more are linked back to a belief that the act of taking a rock from Hawaii is bad mojo. This is the legend behind the superstition, and the reason why people who believe it are willing to send rocks back to the Islands, at times personally returning the stolen rocks as an act of redemption.

Is it true? Some say that this legend is a result of modern Hawaiian park rangers; those stalwart protectors of nature, who grew tired of seeing visitors making off with the local landscape. Sure, a small rock or a bottle of sand from a beach is no big deal...unless of course a million people, annually, walk off with the same souvenir!
