  Aloha mai
  
  I read a posting you made a while ago to give money to support Maoli World, to keep it afloat. Is that still needed? Is Maoli world have trouble?
  
  Just wondering, who owns Maoli world anyways?
  
  Mahalo,

  Hi Cuz,
  
  I don't look at it as being wrong but I never did hear that analogy of `io vs. I`o so mahalo...I take all mana`o into consideration...especially yours...cause you are my cuz...so of course..what I mean by technical conversation is that I cannot have this conversation with anyone else in this manner but a few who know the io and all the belief system around it...and we are all learning so I appreciate "all" mana`o.
  
  K, Have a wonderful day cuz....I gotta get up and strt cutting vegies and meat to make pasteles tomorrow. The family is coming over from Waimea to make em. It should be a fun project...
  
  Talk to you later...
  
  Your cuz....

  especially with all the conference stuff going through possible change but it is all good...I believe it is watching over the whole thing or we wouldn't have gotten the hale. So I know that project is fully guided by akua. I appreciate it. :)

  K, thanks for the mana`o on I`o vs. `Io.... I didn't know that at all between the two...So I trust your mana`o so actually I think they both would be correct cause doesn't the physical represent da akua? K, just having technical conversation...unless we were referring to specifically Akua or the `Io. Wow, thats deep cuz...mahalo...

  Hi Cuz,
  Ya, I don't know what is the correct way but I just thought it was dialect cause of different areas. I'm not sure...I've seen it spelled both. So I'm not sure. Not a big thing cause we know what we mean. Maybe a duality thing there. :)
  
  but ya, the hawks are in mating season...I think it runs from Nov. through Feb. through my observations it is the best time to get their attention by whistling...I try to mimick the whistle I hear them make...it works only during mating season...
  
  but anyway...I'm sure if you come to this moku you will see some...we see them all the time on this island but this one probably lives close by. There was a huge white one in a tree at the Puna shack one morning.. in a tree about 20 ft. from our window. It sat there for a long time...I never saw a white one before or after that. I didn't have the camera with me that time. :) das ok. Maybe it wasn't meant to be on photos...:)

  It flew into the tree yesterday when I was outside....twice...so I got to take this picture...it's not the best but definitly an `io. It flew closer and it circled closer to me and the dog...of course I was whistling for it cuz...and it landed in the same tree again it was about 100 ft. away so that is why the picture aint that great cause i don't know how to use my camera yet. but I thought you'd like the picture. I tried to send it to you in an email but it wouldn't send. I gotta figure it out...camera dillema's but I thought it was cool to get a picture of it.
  
  talk to you later cuz...
