Abstract
I parked my rental car on the gravelly lava shoulder between the Mamala-hoa Highway and the Ka’upulehu Dry Forest Preserve and tried to rub the sleep out of my eyes. As excited and curious as I was to see how all our plants were doing (it had been six months since that outplanting day and three months since my last census of them), I also yearned to lie down in the backseat and take a nap. But, as always, there was far too much to do and far too little time in which to do it before I had to fly back to Kaua‘i on yet another red-eye flight, so I fought off the urge to sleep, slathered myself with haole war paint (a.k.a. sunscreen), and rolled on out of the car.
