Princess Kai`ulani at Parker Ranch

The fun birds

I’ve had this ruled since about 1976. Still work, no batteries or parts to change.

Just finished rewatching Andor season 1. Hadn’t watched since it wad first released. So good

It’s funny reading an article about a long time restaurant in Honolulu that I never heard of is closing after 30 years. I moved to Hawaii island in 1991

This is interesing. Hawaii was trading with ports on the West-Coast when it was still Mexico

Just read an article about the early 20th centyry, an era before music had ever begun to be captured and recorded, a time when if you were not playing music yourself or listening to someone else play, you simply were not hearing music at all.

With Hokule’a starting a new voyage it brings this book to mind (rereading it now) that tells story of the canoe capsizing in 1977 and the loss of Eddie Aikau. the weather and channels around the Hawaiian islands are some of the roughest they will encounter in the entire voyage.

i had a chance to talk to a Canadian guest at the resort today. She said they don’t hold anything against the people of Hawaii for what Trump is doing.

The Dodger Karma tour continues.

The one thing that we definetly can’t undo from Trump and his minions is people dying.

Listening to my Sunday Manoa Playlist. All 7 of their albums. 72 songs strong.

Now that I’m working “guest facing” in the resort, they keep talking about guest surveys. They a card with a QR code . I’ve never believed in that style. I believe that you give the guest an infinitely positive exprience, the good reviews will just happen orgaincally. The hotel sends an email anyway

I had hopes for Starbucks with some of the things the new CEO said. But the employees weren’t the problem, profit based decisions by the company were.

VOG is bad today.

All of the planets in the Star Wars universe have breathable air for all creatures.

Persistence pays, I’ve been looking for additional recordings of the Royal Hawaiian Troubadours from 1904. I had read that they toured N. American and made a number of recordings. My breakthrough was the book “Hawaiian & Hawaiian Guitar Record 1891-1960. I’ve found 10 additional recordings.

Interesting that in 1905 the American Recording Co. had a Native American on the record of Hawaiian music.
