The West Hawaii branch of Indivisible is having a social gathering in Kona tomorrow afternoon at an undiclosed park. You only get the location if you RSVP. It will be nice to just chill with like-minded people.
Iʻve been going through a number of archives of 78 rpm records, looking primarily for old and original Hawaiian music. The quality recording of the these old records can be sketchy, the by far the best is the 78rpm project by Archive.org. Also more detailed metadata.
The surf shop owner wouldn’t tell me how much the order was, but that it was his big pre summer order.
I talked to a small business owner (surf shop) today who won’t be able to accept a pre-paid order next week because of the additional tariff fees required upon delivery. He said I can’t afford to pay twice. All clothing is made in China or Vietnam. Said he can’t get his money back either.
Still mad at the Dodgers. They’ve shown no contrition. I’m going to remain unattached for the foreseeable future. I’ll just watch whatever game shows up on TV.
Always loved this album by Hawaiian Unlimited. I had the cassette and play it lot. I got to know Roger Naipo, the lead Singer, in later years. Lots of aloha. Canʻt find the album amymore, a little pricey on ebay

The DOJ has their heads so far up Trumps ‘okole. They’ll do nothing about a single law broken by this administration and will make up charges on people they don’t like.
Kind of got the greens covered. I took advantage of Quicksilver’s deep sales on the amphibian shorts when they were closing stores. Love them. They market them as the walking shorts that you can swim in.
4.3% of the world population on a good day. A little self important huh? I think the world would get on without us.
“Take a bucket, fill it with water, Put your hand in—clear up to the wrist. Now pull it out; the hole that remains Is a measure of how much you’ll be missed….
The moral of this quaint example: To do just the best that you can, Be proud of yourself, but remember, There is no Indispensible Man
Iʻve been combing through Hawaiian music archives looking for a recording of Alfred Unauna Alohikea (1884-1936) a Farmer, composer, musician who also served in the Hawai’i Territorial Legislature representing the Island of Kaua’i. I finally found Hanohano Kauai. His bio and photo attached.
Iʻve used mailbox.org from Germany as my email provider for quite a few years. Nice see they continue to add new security features. Often these features are to protect us from ourselves.
Since we’re not at retirement (2 years or so) The bulk of our investments will be untouched for years. Funds will likely trickle out giving the value time to rebound. Unless SS is fucked with, then all bets are off
