I’m old enough to have been a waiter when tips were not taxed. I was a waiter a Nick’s Fishmarket. Was making $300 a night easy.
The `olelo Hawaii at the begining of this song by the Peter Moon Band is spot on (pono). Spoken by Larry Kimura of the UH Hilo. He doesn’t over accentuate the ‘okina of the kahakō like so many do. Hawaiian is a smooth and flowing language.
I’ve know Larry for 20+ years. He is an amazing person.
Our investment advisers have gone crickets.
Luckily a lot of our stuff in healthcare real estate. The 401ks are now about 201k and dropping
Kai Kahale is in Washington trying to persuade the Trump administration to not cut funds to Hawaiian programs. He said a lot of Hawaiians voted for Trump and he’s hoping that helps. Good luck, but If that isn’t pissing into the wind. Doesn’t seem the be helping Medicaid
Just saw an interview with Nainoa Thompson (Hokule`a) on PBS. He said Hawaii’s culture is not based on race but is more based on values. Many Hawaiians don’t follow this, it’s all race to them. I proud to have spent a lot of time with Nainoa through the years.
I have all but one Peter Moon Band albums (12). This one is the most bizarre album title and cover (1994) of the lot. The one I’m missing is Oasis and I shoud have it next week.
I have driven up & down Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway in West Hawaii 1000s of times in the last 30+ years. Seen everything from stupid driving, unattentive driving, fender benders to life claiming accidents. It feels more dangerous now with very high speed cycles weaving in between cars.
So Executive Orders and Musk pronouncements are the law of the land. The legislative branch and the judicial branch are not going to do a thing about it.
The American press is despicable
When I was playing sports as a kid, for fundraisers we sold huli huli chicken, lau lau, chocolate, christmas trees, kulolo and more. Now I see youth sports teams on the side of road with signs and fish nets. WTF. Teach them panhandling.
Nice see space travel success (not Musk). fireflyspace.com/missions/…

Growing up in Hawaii in the 70s there were 3 local super groups Cecelio and Kapono who were mostly feel good, up beat. Kalapana Mostly love and heartbreak songs & Country Comfort who’s songs were about island life. I most connnected with Country Comfort, their music still reverberates with me.
