I can comfortably say Iʻll never go to any of the red states. Thereʻs a chance I may go over some, or through them in a train.
I went to culinary school in the 70s and climbed the ladder quickly before moving to the FOH. Something gratifying happened at Outrigger in the kitchen before my injury. I would often see young cooks watching me. When I asked why, they said they just loved to watch me work. Old school style
I remember when I was 12 yo, my friends Chuck Jackson and I would ride the city bus on “circle island tour”. It was a treat seeing the middle of the island and the N Shore. Our parents rarely took us past Tripler hospital or past Kahalu’u on the other side. It was these old green buses.
I don’t like the way the IOS files app forces preview to view a file. Often I have a folder of images and just want to scroll through them to see what they are before opening them
Love this rendition of Lizzy Alohikea’s Nani Kauai by Theresa Bright and the Makaha Sons.
Pan American World Airways Clipper Service flew to Wake island in the 50s. This was set up mostly as a refueling stop on the way to Japan or Guam
The R talking heads on the Sunday shows were all reciting the same line about economic growth of 3% which will erase the deficit. Blatant lies, as usual. Trickle down doesn’t work.
If I get bored during the day and work that night, rather than doom scroll or channel surf, I’d rather take a nap.
This has been fun . At 66, iʻm done managing things and people. Iʻm a greeter & Concierge at the Outrigger Kona. 6 times GM or Store manager (missing 2 cards). Owned 2 businesses (cafe 10 yrs, Web co. 5 yrs), always managed others. Still getting calls from recruiters.
Elizabeth “Lizzy” Kahau Kanamu Alohikea (1890–1939) was the first wife of Composer & Statesman Alfred Unauna Alohikea. Lizzy sang with Royal Hawaiian band for 23 years and was a notable composer in her own right with songs such as Alekoki, Beautiful Kahana, Ka makani ka’ili aloha and Nani Kauai
It’s so funny that there’s rain during the Boston v Washington game. Announcers said “that’s not in the forecast”. Get used to that with the deprecation of the weather infrastructure.
This was a fascination perspective on being alone. For my entire adult life, I’ve worked in hospitality, mostly as a manager. This always required me to be among lots of people and be highly interactive. I’ve always enjoyed alone time as a balance in my life, knowing I had to go back and open up
We could see the Kona Fireworks from home. The Kona parade had no companies or corporate interests. All community groups.
