Made corned beef hash and enjoying a Guinness.

Light VOG today. $Million+ homes in the foreground. Not for locals. Catching glimpses of how lives there, No one from here.

Lava rock wall out of all Pāhoehoe lave rock. Had to cost a lot. Only certain flow are this type.

Great Article about Alfred Alohikea, Musician “fun” Politician

Way to go Andy. Hula instruction inside.

The Apple Music algorithm has gotten much better when it does “continuing play” after an album. It’s pretty much keeping the same style and era as the album. I played Bill Kaiwa’s 1963 album and the songs that followed were spot on. Didn’t used to be so.

We don’t have county rubbish pick up in Hawaii County. The primary private `opala company in west Hawaii is PFI. The pick up day is Monday on Alii Drive Auwe Pilau loa

We never really had public shootings in Hawaii. Since SCOTUS gutted gun laws it’s almost daily.

Always had drug and criminal shootings

Trump and Musk stole the election. Jail time

Just found the original recording of Hanohano Hanalei by Alfred Alohikea (the songwriter) from 1928. It’s the only recording of the prolific songwriter solo. He was born Sept. 10, 1884 & Died Sept. 15, 1936, he also served in the Hawai’i Territorial Legislature representing the Island of Kaua’i.

Just came across this interview with Ainsley Halemanu. Blast from the past. He played for us at the Princess Garden bar in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center in the middle of Waikiki in the last 80’s, I was GM. He’s family to my ex-wife. Quite the entertainmener and a character.

Immediately thought of this song when we rounded the top of Hawaii Island approaching Hawi and the Kohala Inuwai Ka makani was blowing strong.

Ana `ole Ka makani iā Kohala Boundless is the wind of Kohala❤️

After the Pu`ukohola Heiau and Spencer Beach Park, we decide to go up the road 20 more miles to Hawi for lunch, coffee and some shopping. Lunch at Kohala Grown Market was awesome. 100+ mile road trip was what the Dr ordered

After the Heiau we went next door to Samuel M Spencer beach park. Named after a Judge and county supervisor from the early 1900s. Haven’t been here since we moved out of Waimea in 2008. Great place for camping and family functions

How quaint. But neither of them work. I’d have to dig under my car seat for a quarter.

Today’s adventure was going to the Pu`ukohola Heiau S of Kawaihae. Many Hawaiians consider it the capital of Hawaii Island. There are other Heiau on this site, but this is the primary one. The visitor center is nice and they have a great video. I haven’t been here for 20+ years.

Local coffee. With music in a Sunday I’m Kohala

The GOP will be up for a rude awakening when they realize that even they aren’t in Black MAGA’s plans

The VOG is especially thick today. My sinuses are in overdrive. 2 Mucinex seems to have helped
