Polical Science lesson
My teen Gandson is rather ignorant on politics, so on the drive home from Kawaihae today we did a 40 min PoliSci class for him. One point we covered was one’s needs to know one’s own personal beliefs before choosing a party or elected official to talk to. It all starts with each individual. Politics shouldn’t be a popularity contest
Beliefs on Equality, Social programs, Goverment’s role, Enviroment/Science, fair taxation, importance of culture and arts. Religion is an entirely differnt conversation but shouldn’t be part of this on a basic level, but beliefs on speration of church and state can be someting to think about. If you know your personal road map, the party and politiians that you align with should become obvious.
If this past election is an indication, much of America has no clue what they believe, just ignored it or the divisions truly run very deep.
Costco Kona was crushed today. The parking lot looked like a bumper car derby. No sense of order in any way.
It was also great connecting with Gavin from the Friends of Hokule’a. Long walaau , many mutual friends. www.FHH-Hawaii.org.
We had a great time at the Makali’i 30th year celebration. Lots of people. Great seeing Chad Paison and Pomai Bertleman. Lots of others too. Na Kala’i Wa’i.
Heard a lot of Hawaiians before the election say that Trump would be their best chance to gain sovereignty. I think they were sold a bill of goods.
He only cares about himself. Keeps people in his circle that keep him in power.
Hawaii state high school canoe paddling championships today. Go Wildcats.
Just heard on the news that 1/3 of drownings in Hawaii in 2024 were of Hawaiian ancestry. I’ve known so many adults in Hawaii who can’t swim. I really don’t get it. Maybe they took “Jaws” too seriously.
Also leading cause of under 15yo deaths is drowning.
I would have loved this job if I was younger.

We’re going to the Makali`i 30th Anniversary Celebration tomorrow at Kawaihae. Will be a blast. Our grandsons can go swimming and we can chill.

Had forgotten about this album from 1977. I had the CD and played in my truck for a long time. I still know all the songs.
Well there we go. Gonna replace my 13 Pro. It will have good trade in value and get a zippier device.
New iPhone SE coming next week, here are five things to expect
AI has uses, but I am trying to think, keep my brain active and healthy, learn new things. I’m trying to take the long way around rather than go straight to the answer.
Tax the part time residents in those multi million dollar homes on Hawaii’s prime real estate all over the islands.

I used to be so anal about so many small details in things that I really don’t care about anymore. I just want things to just work at a most basic level. Tech, apps, appliances, cars, pretty much everything.
