There’s a big Catholic church in Kona, on Alii drive right in the middle of town. The parking lot always has lots of big SUVs and trucks in it as well as a noticeable number of luxury type cars. Religion and protecting the enviroment don’t quite go together.
Community Service message, if you’re driving in Kona today and on Kuakini Hwy going in the Kohala Direction. HPD are up to their old tricks, one officer hiding in the pulmeria tree by Kona brew, 2 more with ticket books down the road. Saw a couple of guys pulled over. Put your phone down.
At the Thrift store looking to catch lightning in a bottle and find an old gem of Hawaiian music. Think I’ll pass on those beauty.

Back at work. First time in the FOH since before CVOID. I was a multi-unit manager at a Marriott. Talked to lots of guests today. Crossed my mind that nobody was MAGA or progressive or an Immigrant or anything else. Just people with questions about dinner, the pool, the shuttle or where to go today.

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.
Have this classic from 1951 in my collection.
George Kainapau became a falsetto phenomenon in the 1930s when microphones improved the ability to hear the singer’s voice. He was known as “Hawaii’s Falsetto King”

My Great Grandfather a year after he arrived in the US. He was born in Parma Italy and died in Brockton, Mass

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?
Secured a copy of Nina 1844. Very rare and hard to find. I have found record collectors on the mainland have very limited knowledge of Hawiiaijan music and are willing to let stuff go for a pittance.

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.
