I’ve been using Kagi Search for about six months now. I am on the lowest tier of the paid plans which allow me 300 searches a month. It turns out that that is quite enough for me. I have never hit that limit. What I don’t know is if I need Kagi? Or perhaps to be more specific, if I should pay for search? I do like Kagi. It generates its own results.
While going through some old notes I came across these few lines:
Who am I when others don’t see me?
Who am I when I don’t see myself?
But don’t let the second be an excuse for the first, because rest assured that the first does happen.
I have no idea where this came from or what prompted this train of thought? However, since finding them these words have been playing in my mind. Not only what did I mean by them, but why did I write them down?
I don’t see these hammer head worms very often. This one I caught a couple of mornings ago. I have since learned that they are an invasive species to Hawaii.
🏝️ Island life. The power went down an hour ago, taking the internet with it. And where we live, the cell signal can be weak. It is improving, but we couldn’t get by without WiFi calling. There is no clear indication when the power will be back on, so it is probably an early night tonight.

Turn the volume up and listen to the bees busy at work this morning.
Monday 15th July, 2024 Dear Friends, I’ll start this newsletter with a subject that the British are well known for talking about - the weather. Our return to Maui has greeted us with a lot of wet weather. Normally here summer is the dry season and winter is the wet season. However in our little corner of the island the weather has been very wet. That is very welcome if unseasonal.
Looking across to the West Maui Mountains from the Pukalani Community Center as I sat having a bite to eat on Thursday evening.
I was introduced to the idea of speaking in ‘I’ statements when I first started sitting with a men’s group back in 2015. The idea behind this simple suggestion is that I take responsibility for my feelings. So for example, if a driver cuts in front of me, making me angry, later when I am sharing the story with someone instead of me talking about how stupid and irresponsible the driver was, I say something like, “I felt angry and annoyed when the car cut in front of me.
👁️ I was sat watching a movie last night and started getting a migraine aura. Within ten minutes the aura was interfering with my view of the screen.
The aura cleared and I waited for the pain of the headache. It did not come to much. I thought that maybe this time I am going to get off lightly.
This morning I have woken up to the dull thud of a migraine. Not the worst, but still making life uncomfortable. I’ve taken a tablet to try and take the edge off of the pain….that and a little more caffeine this morning. I have never found anything to completely remove these.
This migraine will probably be my companion for the next three days. That is the norm for me.

I think that all looks good with the Shortcut. I realized that there was one error that had me banging my head against the wall, but I think that that is fixed. So testing this Shortcut one more time…and I hope that that is it for now. 🤞🤞🤞
If a post had no category was not working properly, and so testing again.
OK, I have to do one other test. Will the Shortcut work and post to Micro.blog if I choose not to add a title?
Testing my Tot to Micro.blog Shortcut to see if it works when I want to add a Title to the post. This post doesn’t need a title…but hey, I can test the title addition if I don’t try and add a title! 😝
The weather cleared this morning and the fire burning on the side of Haleakala is clearly visible. The good news is that forward progress of the fire has been halted, it is 50% contained, the size of the fire has been downgraded to 355 acres, and there have been no evacuation orders.
🌄 It’s feeling warm before the sun is up. A warning of what is coming today? At least the Trade Winds are blowing.

Grilling two evenings ago.
I feel very happy with myself today. I have managed to write a Shortcut which will publish to Micro.blog from Tot, allowing the selection of a category if relevant. The text of the short post is then saved as a text file. Writing, learning…from Tot.
