The chicken chasing started slightly after our seal visit. An anomaly of this island is that there are chickens everywhere<\/i> – by the road, on the golf course, on the beach, and even in line at the car rental place. Following the morning’s seal encounter, and inspired by Rocky 2, I set off to chase one down; they are elusive, and a partial video of the debacle will probably be posted soon. Following that we hopped in the car, took a tour around the island, saw some impressive bird colonies, hiked along some impressive cliffs, and are now hopefully heading off to an impressive dinner. Vacation is a good thing, and I’m very glad to once again be on one.<\/p>\n

For those not familiar with the great moment in cinematic history<\/a> referenced above:<\/p>\n \nMickey<\/b>: Now here’s what I want you to do… I want you to chase this little chicken. I’ve escaped from work to Kauai for our first family vacation since the days when Clinton was in office, “the Google” was still just “the Yahoo”, and Michael Jordan was finishing his second run with the Bulls. Aaron and I arrived yesterday, and we’ll be joining Ma & Pa tomorrow for a couple of days. … Continue reading “Is that where Jurassic Park was?”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[34,16],"class_list":["post-1650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-journal","tag-family","tag-hawaii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/mountaininterval.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/mountaininterval.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/mountaininterval.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mountaininterval.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mountaininterval.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1650"}],"version-history":[{"count":30,"href":"http:\/\/mountaininterval.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1650\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1682,"href":"http:\/\/mountaininterval.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1650\/revisions\/1682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/mountaininterval.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mountaininterval.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/mountaininterval.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nRocky Balboa<\/b>: Hey yo, Mick, what do I got to chase a chicken for?
\nMickey<\/b>: First, because I said so. And second, is because chicken-chasing is how we used to train back in the old days. If you can catch this thing, you can catch greased lighting.
\nRocky Balboa<\/b>: Well, I’ll do it if you say so, but it ain’t very mature.
\nMickey<\/b>: Yeah, well neither are you very mature!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
