I really like an afternoon cup of coffee. ☕️ I made blend of Pete’s decaf dark roast and a Pete’s Suncatcher light roast. Half-caf. It’s tasty
I’m in workers comp limbo. In a temporary position. Have applied for a permanent position, but crickets. I can’t get off of WC or even discuss a settlement until I have a permanent position. So I wait for them to offer the permanent position or cut me loose. Don’t want to work somewhere else.
Cause and effect. Interest rates won’t go down until tarrifs are relaxed. The tariff cause constraints on imports would cause inflation if they loosen up capital. Macro economics 101, not hope and dream.
In my 60+ years in Hawaii, I’ve experienced evacuations and dealt with the fallout from tsunami, hurricanes, floods, brush fires and few other odd weather events. I still listen to the officials and trust the science. They’re not always spot on, but I haven’t been swept away either.

People who grew up on, or have lived on Hawaii Island a long time likely have far more respect for what a Tsunami can than most Hawaii people. First hand experience or 1 generation separation with people profoundly affected by a tsunami. It’s not to taken lightly. Better to overreact.
Charging all of our devices. We’ve seen how 1 pole down due to traffic accident knocks out power in large portions of Kona.
Seeing Kauai mayor Derek Kawakami on TV is comforting, and I don’t even live on Kauai. He was a rockstar during the pandemic
I lived in Keaukaha during one evacuation in the 90s. I remember loading 2 TVs and suitcases and going to family’s house up mauka.
Recalling a 1986 tsunami evacuation. I was a manager at TGI Friday on Ward Ave. we were the just out of Evac zone. Honolulu was gridlock. We got crushed. Ran out of everything. The bar was packed until closing.
