I had the pleasure of visiting Kauai a couple of years ago, and some of the locals allowed me to help (read, hinder), and get some footage of their traditional Imu Kalua pig roast for "Gradpa's" 76 birthday. It was an incredible experience. I am sharing that here, and and also posting some links to some wildfire relief funds that are gathering resources to help those affected by the brutal, deadly wildfires that swept Maui recently. Please consider donating, and helping in any way that you can.
