Palma could do me an ohohia by not posting messages to my private account
out of the list. I am presently receiving more messages from Palma this way
than I am receiving from all of the list (depending by what period covers
"presently" of course).
I raised this a week ago hereabouts in a post to the list - but it appears
that post may have been "helewale". I thank all those who sent me private
messages of support regarding that previous message and also all those who
held back a week to see if Palma would manage to solve the problem.

Knowing that on the outer isles of Orkney there are sheep that have
adapted to a diet rich in seaweed, when I came across dog food with seaweed
in it I ignored the blither on the packet—“Now with Wellboost, the
superfood of the sea”—and bought some. I like this from the Wikipedia
entry on the sheep, “To reduce the chance of being stranded by an incoming
tide, they graze at low tide and then ruminate at high tide." Food for
thought.

Dinner before seeing Kevin Kline on stage in New York was itself a piece
of theater. We ate in an Italian restaurant with waiters and an owner
acting like we were in a movie about the mob. Our waiter’s tried and true
line was, “Da Bronx is one of two places dat begin with ‘da.’ What’s de
udder one?” While my mind was still translating, J. offered, “Da Vatican.”
“Dat’s right!”
I mentioned to a colleague at work that the Hawaiian language has a word
for the guy who gets sacrificed when the chief dies. (Yes, the book I
thought was sold showed up again in the library’s sale rack and I bought
it). My colleague thought it might be fun to print a poster of Trump with
that word on it. So then I had to find ithe word again.
On the third pass, there it was, Moepuu, "a person slain at the burial of
a chief."
What time spent with a thirty page vocabulary revealed was how interesting
it is to read only the English translations of words arranged
alphabetically in another language. If you begin, for example, at
ke'oke'o, which is an adjective meaning, "white, proud, haughty," there
follow: a spur…a mist, a rain (on Kauai)…a pillar, a mast, support,
deer…the algaroba tree... How can one word mean "a pillar, a mast,
support” as well as… “deer"? Kaawe means, "to hang by the neck, as a
suicide." Einei is an interjection that means, "I say!" Possibly you have
to be British for it to mean that?

I was on the phone with my father. Hamish had already charged out the
door twice in his sorties against the enemy and was now lying upstairs.
The chickens came to the door, complaining. I looked out. There, bold as
anything, was a squirrel helping himself to their food. “Hamish,” I
called, “you’re wanted.”
“I know,” he said, half asleep. “I’m grateful.”
“No…there’s a squirrel stealing the chickens’ food.”
Greased lighting, the both of them, Hamish flying, the squirrel flying
faster. Off into the bushes.
“Bothersome,” said Mimo.
“Really quite bothersome,” said Appenzeller.
“Could you install kind of early warning system?” asked Pecorino. “Radar
based?”
“Warning,” I asked, “of the squirrel’s raid or Hamish’s response?”
“The latter,” said Mimo. “Squirrels are a nuisance, but fifty pounds of
fast dog is the true existential risk.”
“He’s very agile…” Pecorino tried for balance.
“It’s hard to complain when he has our security at heart,” Appenzeller.
“But no one likes an own goal, if you take my meaning,” Mimo.
“Friendly fire?” I said.
“Oh no.” they chorused. “No such thing as a friendly fire.”
I told the chickens
