Just finished “A Gentleman in Moscow” on Paramount. A great story weaved through a large slice of Russia’s modern history. Ewan McGregor was excellent
There was a flood in downtown Hilo Nov 1 2000. We had the same issues when a large park area that used to be a canec plant.
Arsenic and old sugarcane: cleaning up Hawaii in the fallout from wildfires
Finalized a trip to Sonoma in October to see my wife’s son and his new daughter. Short trip, but we’ll get a play day & we’ll see where he lives with his GF and her 3 kids. They were all here in June when the baby was just 3 months old
We did our quarterly financial review of what’s going out. Subscriptions, utilities, insurance. Canceled Evernote this quarter. Took a close look at streaming services. Works out to $140/mo. Most are annual. No changes for now. We don’t go to the theater or shows, and rarely go to pubs.
Classic.
I can only watch or read a certain amount of daily news, then I’m done. One run through the headlines is well enough. If anything comes up that’s urgent I’m sure I’ll get a notification.
Couldn’t pull the trigger on the Playdate pizza box cover. $13 shipping is a bit much for a cool to have.
Interesting history. None of these resorts (save for the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel-1965) were here 50 years ago. This was all barren lava fields, every plant was brought in. These coconut trees were $20k each, brought from the other side of the island. I remember seeing them laying on trucks
Week 6 post shoulder replacement. Good news; I made it this far without breaking the new joint. This is the last week of passive range of motion movement. Next week we start more movement against gravity and introducing light weights (1-2#)
A thrill a minute.
It’s ironic that many tech billionaires are spending millions on trying to find an elixir to extend life but at the same time have zero concern for the environment.
I guess they live in such an insulated world, they can separate themselves from a dying world.
This week’s episode hits home. I don’t want to leave, I grew up here. My wife didn’t and is more open to leaving.

I really want to get tickets to some events in the 2028 LA Olympics. From experience, fringe events will be easy. For 1984, we scored closing ceremony tickets through the lottery. Nosebleed seats, but we were there.
