I guess winter weather is over. Humidity has been up and fans are back on at night. The volcano going off again.
I think the employers who paid the social security matching funds should be just as pisses off. I had a business for 10 years and paid matching find for my staff. I’m doubly mad.
I’m so disappointed in the Democrats so far. Our senator Brian Schatz is one exception. He’s been very vocal.
I’m old enough to have been a waiter when tips were not taxed. I was a waiter a Nick’s Fishmarket. Was making $300 a night easy.
The `olelo Hawaii at the begining of this song by the Peter Moon Band is spot on (pono). Spoken by Larry Kimura of the UH Hilo. He doesn’t over accentuate the ‘okina of the kahakō like so many do. Hawaiian is a smooth and flowing language.
I’ve know Larry for 20+ years. He is an amazing person.
Our investment advisers have gone crickets.
Luckily a lot of our stuff in healthcare real estate. The 401ks are now about 201k and dropping
Kai Kahale is in Washington trying to persuade the Trump administration to not cut funds to Hawaiian programs. He said a lot of Hawaiians voted for Trump and he’s hoping that helps. Good luck, but If that isn’t pissing into the wind. Doesn’t seem the be helping Medicaid
Just saw an interview with Nainoa Thompson (Hokule`a) on PBS. He said Hawaii’s culture is not based on race but is more based on values. Many Hawaiians don’t follow this, it’s all race to them. I proud to have spent a lot of time with Nainoa through the years.
I have all but one Peter Moon Band albums (12). This one is the most bizarre album title and cover (1994) of the lot. The one I’m missing is Oasis and I shoud have it next week.
I have driven up & down Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway in West Hawaii 1000s of times in the last 30+ years. Seen everything from stupid driving, unattentive driving, fender benders to life claiming accidents. It feels more dangerous now with very high speed cycles weaving in between cars.
So Executive Orders and Musk pronouncements are the law of the land. The legislative branch and the judicial branch are not going to do a thing about it.
The American press is despicable
