Sad to see it go. I played high school football in it shortly after it opened. First time playing on artificial turf (lots of burns). Been to lots of Pro Bowls, UH and high school games and concerts and other events. It was too big
Aloha Stadium officials aim to begin 10-month demolition in August
Iʻve had some luck finding digital copies of Wax Phonograph cylinder recording of Hawaiian music from 1909 - 1917 on obscure archives. Excluding the recording challenges, the music is awesome.
They’re going to grab more people that they shouldn’t to make quote. Like speed traps
I would guess that most of the people driving on Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway on the Kahala coast do not know it was named in honor of the favorite wife of King Kamehameha 1. This painting is by Louis Choris from 1816. She was approx 48 years old
The story of that bowl had me thinking back to 1978. I was living on Date St in Kapahulu about 3 blocks from Jack in the Box, going to culinary school at KCC, waiting tables at Nick’s Fishmarket in Waikiki and driving a 65 Impala. Won’t meet my first wife till the following year. Livin’ the dream
I’ve had this Pyrex bowl for over 45 years. I had it in my first apartment on Date St in Kapahulu in 1978. I think it came from my Mom’s kitchen.
Another interesting aside. The British didn’t send missionaries to Hawaii during Kamehameha’s reign he told Vancouver “these are my gods they are powerful beings who have helped me acquire this Kingdom and from this comes my reign”
Was just reading in Ke Kumu Aupuni that during Kamemeha’s reign there was a kapu on all fishing for 6 months. After which the next month was fish for all of his cheifs and their people and families. The remaining 5 mos was open season. This inspired good stocks of fish. Ecology
Hawaii is more vulnerable to climate change than most of the US. We need to share in the expense with people come and use our beaches and services.
Didn’t realize how difficult it is to change the password on a lot of pretty prominent websites and services. There’s no consistentcy.
Didn’t realize this after driving in both places until I really thought about, but Sonoma County is only 30% the land area of Hawaii County. Except for Hwy 101 in Sonoma, I think it’s easier driving on Hawaii Island. Lots of mountain roads in Sonoma.
The Navy should drop some dead bombs on Texas or North Carolina.

Have spent 3 hours on a long overdue password cleaning up. Yesterday was bookmarks. Getting my digital house in order.
Fighting the good fight
I’ve been fighting for my community my entire life—it’s how I was raised. Much of my advocacy has focused on environmental issues and protecting ocean access, especially for canoe clubs. I’ve volunteered with environmental groups, supported various conservation efforts, and served on business association boards as well as Habitat for Humanity.
Over the years, I’ve testified at City and County council hearings, land board meetings, and legislative sessions. I’ve met with council members, legislators, and government agencies to push for meaningful change. I even once testified in support of legalizing brewpubs in Hawai‘i.
I’ve won a few battles and lost many. These days, it’s getting harder to stay engaged in the fight. I don’t have a stake in as many of the issues, and it takes more energy than it used to. The forces against good at stronger than ever. But my commitment to community still runs deep.
Just out of curiosuity was looking population and size Hawaii County: 29,0790 / Hawaii State: 1.446 million / Sonoma County 481,812 Area of Hawaii 10,031 sq mi / Hawaii Island 4,028sq mi / Sonoma county 1,766sq mi / O`ahu 597Sq mi. Would have never thought Hawaii Isle is larger than Sonoma County
