Read this book when it came out almost 40 years ago. Gave my copy away. I wanted to read it again , it was difficult to find, but I’ll take it with me for a weekend staycation.
Won first place tag and release in the 2006 Hawaiian International Billfish tourney on a fluke. We were given a team as sponsoring radio station (KWXX) and were a throw together team. We beat all of the pros. Just deferred to the boat captains. They put us over hungry fish.
One concern in the back of my mind. When prices go up, they grudgingly go back down. The exception is gas and produce. The add on prices for tariffs may be stuck even if tariffs end. Wonder if the foreign and domestic federal programs Rtump cancelled will ever fully come back. Dems lack ruthlessness
The elected Democrats have no scrap. They’re being too nice. Hawaiian style: kicks of slippahs, squares up, bouncing on the balls of your feet “wot u said brah?…. We go! IYKYK
With Honolulu close to built out, saw discussion about 2 big projects on the North side of O’ahu. Relentless development.
Guess we can’t close out the worker’s compensation until I’m back to work. I’m already medically stable. Oh well, I wait
I have an original 1906 White House cook book. It’s not in good shape. The pages are delicate. Gonna see if I can at lease scan the pages before they crumble. Humidity is rough on paper
Fascinating story of the SS Makee. She ran aground off of Kauai in 1897. As if enough wasnʻt already happening that year. Gabby Pahinui did a classic version of this song
White men in the name of Christianity stole native lands in N America, continued west and stole Hawaiian lands. Native populations didn’t believe in land ownership, so they stole rights to the land through paperwork native people didn’t understand and the got governments to do the dirty work.
Just came across these pix of the Keauhou Beach hotel being demolished in 2017-18. Lots of memories went down with it.
