Lahaina and I go back a long way: Lahaina was the “big exciting town” we visited via inter-island ferry when I lived on the nearby island of Lanai as a teen circa 1969-1970. Lahaina and Maui were touristy even then, of course, as Hawaii was boasting of hosting 1 million tourists a year. (Now the annual total is around 10 million visitors a year.) But Maui was not over-developed back then, the resorts of Ka’anapali and Kihei did not even exist. The soundtrack of Lahaina in 1969 was the Beatles’ Abbey Road. Yes, a long time ago.

A child of the peace and antiWar movements, a Truther with self-diagnosed Opposition Defiance Disorder, formerly politically liberal tho now politically marooned, and Post-Doomer, on any issue, I trend to the conspiracy side, sort through the absurd, fantastical and insane, until I find firm ground usually located just the other side of the censorship firewall of propaganda and orthodoxy, dogma, and other either / or thinking.
