Big Island Paradise Life


 Rainbows
Back to Full Blog  

After my wife returned home from a seminar in Kona yesterday, She remarked after being on the road for three hours of having seen 4 different rainbows that day.

She visited the Hilton Resort for a two day workshop from an expert on autism and social behavior treatments that seem to be improving their lives. Bert teaches high impact special education.

One of the boys in her class is high functioning (I'll say!). With conventional sheets of typing paper and scotch tape, he folds and cuts to create perfect scale models of cars from any picture given him. He recently entered a statewide contest in a related art form and won first place. This is special excepting for the fact that his creations were judged along side art generated by regular ed. high schoolers.

Back to my wife: Another person might have complained about the rain and horrible driving.


This one became unusually brilliant before fading. Although I am getting repeated rainbows in the same location over the ocean, I send this one because, well, it smiled at me also.

Love the rainbow. Sounds like you get a lot more than us continentals.

How about some pictures of the paper cars? Sounds fascinating.

Autism, to us who do not deal with it, is an interesting scientific insight into our brain's functioning. So much work on it in the news lately.

Sinann,
Well the fellow is a savant, and I dare say we are relatively clueless when it comes to explaining these things. Good to see you.

Aloha. Very Good. I noticed on your site you got yourself some roosters. My sister and brother in law have roosters like that on the other side of the Big Island. They got 250 chickens for egg laying. Sexing the chicks is not terribly accurate so they end up with a couple roosters. See ya again.
