So many Hawaiian albums in Apple music have the date of re-release. I’m changing the one I find to the original release date. At least it will be correct in my collection.

Still a great movie


This entire Trump administration is at the peak of their career, all in positions with power they could never had dreamed of. Does anyone think they will ever do a single thing to cross him?

Conservative count from our protest Saturday was 750. The counter person started at the bottom and moved up the line, but a lot of people were still coming behind her. We were about 1/4 of the way up and it got very crowded.


Governor Green was on the morning news. Seems to have the best handle you can in the turmoil we’ve been thrown into. The legislature held back a large fund and will have a special session in a couple of months to fill the cracks they best they can after the federal budget comes out.


They’re talking about this next storm coming our way. We only got 5 min of rain from the last one. Would like to see at least a little more rain.


The scene of the crime. This is where I proposed to my wife in 2005. Hōnaunau bay. We were Married 1 year later. We stopped by today to recall that day and share the story with our grandsons


We finally around to watching it. Enjoyed it. I have faint remembrances of this era.
