Parent Company of Quicksilver, Billabong, Honolua and Volcom filed bankruptcy. 60% off sale on each website. Sizes are starting to disappear. It will leave a hole on the Surf clothing market in Hawaii.
I’m spending championship game Sunday backing up all of our computer and backing up the back ups and going through our important papers to make sure they’re up to date.
If something happens to Trump, the Republican party and MAGA will devolve into a maelstrom. No one is afraid of Vance. Everyone will be out for themsleves. It will be reality TV at it’s finest.
Remember when looking for a job meant going door to door and filling out appications? Then staying home waiting for the phone to ring.
These F’N republicans can’t answer a single question with out saying “Biden Debacle” and taking the long way around but never answer the question.
Trump will make the water crisis worse.
This song aways hits hard. Hawaiian Soul by Jon and Randy, it’s been done by many. It’s about George Helm who was lost at sea. He was an Activist and musician. He was lost off of Koho’olawe in 1977
Polical Science lesson
My teen Gandson is rather ignorant on politics, so on the drive home from Kawaihae today we did a 40 min PoliSci class for him. One point we covered was one’s needs to know one’s own personal beliefs before choosing a party or elected official to talk to. It all starts with each individual. Politics shouldn’t be a popularity contest
Beliefs on Equality, Social programs, Goverment’s role, Enviroment/Science, fair taxation, importance of culture and arts. Religion is an entirely differnt conversation but shouldn’t be part of this on a basic level, but beliefs on speration of church and state can be someting to think about. If you know your personal road map, the party and politiians that you align with should become obvious.
If this past election is an indication, much of America has no clue what they believe, just ignored it or the divisions truly run very deep.
Costco Kona was crushed today. The parking lot looked like a bumper car derby. No sense of order in any way.
It was also great connecting with Gavin from the Friends of Hokule’a. Long walaau , many mutual friends. www.FHH-Hawaii.org.
We had a great time at the Makali’i 30th year celebration. Lots of people. Great seeing Chad Paison and Pomai Bertleman. Lots of others too. Na Kala’i Wa’i.
Heard a lot of Hawaiians before the election say that Trump would be their best chance to gain sovereignty. I think they were sold a bill of goods.
He only cares about himself. Keeps people in his circle that keep him in power.
Hawaii state high school canoe paddling championships today. Go Wildcats.
Just heard on the news that 1/3 of drownings in Hawaii in 2024 were of Hawaiian ancestry. I’ve known so many adults in Hawaii who can’t swim. I really don’t get it. Maybe they took “Jaws” too seriously.
Also leading cause of under 15yo deaths is drowning.
I would have loved this job if I was younger.
