Hawaii Boy

Came home to a flood warning. It cooled it off

Something can’t find in Kona, but I found Pancetta at a Butcher and cheese shop in Sonoma. I’m tired of substituting the wrong thing in recipes

I noticed in California on the highways, put on your turn signal to change lanes and 90% of the time people give you a space, even at 75 mph. In Hawaii, the Aloha State maybe 50/50.

We got home it was 87 degrees. It was 46 when we left Santa Rosa this morning

Almost home

Almost on our way. It was a busy, but amazing trip

We drove 585 mile in our 4 days on the ground with pretty much no issues, other than google maps misdirections. The California highways decided to throw up a curve ball on the way to the airport. Night construction on 580 wrapped up late. Full stop. Finally made it.

Even tech blogs are talking politics

Came across a few MAGA people on this trip. The overriding issue seems to be throw out the baby with bath water over immigration. This same issue has climbed out of the barrel for 200+ years.

My favorite photo of the trip.

Great last day in Sonoma. Went down to Petaluma for some cruising around and shopping. Lunch on the River. Got to spend much time with granddaughter and bonding with stepson’s fiancé. She grew up in Sonoma it lived in Kona for a while

Coming out of Dick’s Sporting goods today was an older guy in a MAGA hat asking people if they’re voting for Trump. If they said yes he game them paper with a $100 bill printed on one side and and a Trump ad on the back. Strange.

We had lunch down by the river, but couldn’t pass up a Five Guys shake.

Peet’s coffee. Been ordering this via mail order since before the internet

Final day in N California. Petaluma down by the river

Had to. No Dunkin where I live.
