So, we decided to try the Summon feature in our Tesla App once more, and discovered settings inside the car regarding Summon mode. We opted for keeping our finger on the Summon button while the car drives to us. I kept my finger on there, unlike in the first video, and it works like a charm.

In this emotionally charged video, join me, as I embark on a 4-day journey to witness the aftermath of the catastrophic wildfires that swept through Lahaina, Kihei, Kula, and Olinda on Maui. From staying with @Mauirunner parents in a home without safe tap water to visiting a friend's 40-acre farm that was entirely destroyed, the realities are harrowing. The Maui airport, once bustling with life, now stands almost empty. But in these dire times, the resilience and stories of my local friends shine as a beacon of hope. Together, we explore the questions: What's next for Maui? And how can we heal a community torn apart by tragedy?

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. Today's video is unlike any other. I recently visited my boyfriend's parents in Upcountry Kula on Maui, just five weeks after devastating wildfires swept through the area.

In this video, I return to Kula in Upcountry Maui, a place filled with memories, love, and a community that stands strong amidst adversity. Just over a month ago, this peaceful region experienced a devastating event that led to the loss of more than 20 structures, leaving scars both visible and invisible in the community that raised my boyfriend and where I spent 14 treasured years of my life.
As I tread upon the land that has nurtured so many of us, I witness the unfathomable impact but also the unyielding spirit of unity and care that prevails. The warmth of the community, helping one another, rebuilds and supports each other, showcasing a beacon of hope and resilience. A special mention to the neighbor and his girlfriend who have been the guardians of hope, taking quick actions that safeguarded many homes including my boyfriend's parent's house.
Join me as I navigate this landscape of contrast, where sorrow meets solidarity, and loss meets love. Let us honor the spirit of Kula, as we document this journey of healing and coming together as one.

In this somber and reflective tour, I bear witness to the near-total devastation that befell the sprawling 40-acre expanse of Maui Nui Farm in the Kula fires on August 8, 2023. The land that once blossomed and provided is now in dire need of support to rejuvenate and rebuild. Thankfully, amidst the loss, the farm's food truck stands resilient, representing hope and the spirit to forge ahead. Join us in this heartfelt journey as we envisage the bright future that we can collectively cultivate through unity and perseverance.

A moment of controversy that was missed apparently, arose during a press conference on Monday, August 21, 2023, in Lahaina, as Governor Josh Green appeared to make an uncomfortable gesture towards Jill Biden. While seeming to console Mrs. Biden, Green touched her lapel, directly on/above her breast, brushing away something that wasn't there, leaving her visibly uncomfortable. The Bidens visited Lahaina, a town devastated by fire, where over 1,000 people were displaced and lost their lives. Why this incident hasn’t raised questions and sparked debate is beyond me.

In an explosive press conference yesterday in Maui, Hawaii, Governor Josh Green took aim at social media in the aftermath of the devastating wildfires that obliterated Lahaina town and continue in upcountry Kula. The fires, which ignited on August 8, 2023, have led to a slow, muddled response, resulting in numerous fatalities. With the local government blocking access to Lahaina, including major media in some cases, social media has become the only voice for the people. Hear Governor Green's controversial thoughts on these reports, and discover why the situation is growing more critical by the hour!

This is far from your run-of-the-mill BBQ sauce. Its flawless symphony of flavors sets a new standard, making it hands-down the best BBQ sauce I've ever tasted. It infuses a smoky essence, just the right tang, and a subtle sweetness, but it's the standout addition of red wine that catapults this sauce into a league of its own. The lingering notes of clove and allspice add a sophisticated touch to the aftertaste, intriguing the palate with every bite. Its versatility shines through - whether drizzled over burgers, swirled into pizza, slathered on pork or chicken, or simply used as a gourmet dipping sauce, the result is always mouthwateringly delicious. A standing ovation for Sean and Mary - you've truly outdone yourselves! My taste buds are already tingling with anticipation for your next culinary creation.
