I would only use raw milk for cooking. Some recipes are better with it. Clotted cream needs un-ultra-pasteurized cream.


How did Alaskans become Astros fans?


Tried ordering some good quality canned Salmon on Amazon for my wife’s Christmas stocking, wouldn’t get here until Dec 28th. Went to company’s website, increased my order and got free shipping and it will here next Tuesday Amazon loses, I win and Fishwife wins



More discussions to be had, but the Sous chef floated the idea of me taking over managing the luau (kitchen portion) rather than going back to being lead dinner chef. Luau is run twice a week, a buffet. Sounds very interesting. Less hustle and bustle. Did it last night, not difficult.


So there IS a medical angle. I also have spondylolisthesis. It requires daily attention. I discovered aqua therapy which was a game changer in managing symptoms and avoiding surgery.

Family of suspect in health CEO’s killing reported him missing after back surgery


Boom. First day back, 11k + steps.


I’ve been getting mail from United Healthcare since I’ve been Medicare eligible. Never gave it much thought, straight to the trash. I won’t go all in to Medicare for a few more years and definitely won’t go with United for Medicare Advantage. If we’re in Hawaii, I’ll use Akamai Advantage from HMSA

First day back. My injury was 214 days ago. Surgery 157 day ago. I’m back 4 weeks early, I worked hard

I remember my Grandmother taking me to see the Chargers in the San Diego Stadium in the 70s (wasn’t renamed the Murph til later). Air Coryell with quarterback Dan Fouts, wide receiver Charlie Joiner, and tight end Kellen Winslow. Damn they were fun to watch.


When I want to just put on Music, I put on Paradise Radio. I like the mellow station. It’s free, I make a donation monthly. They’re based in Paradise California. No commercials. The founder worked at a Honolulu radio station for a spell.

Watching the new The Day of the Jackal series on Peacock. After 1 episode, I like it.


David Foster Wallace. This is good to watch every couple of years. Especially this year. We’ve seem the GOP doesn’t care about other people, just themselves

Remembering when I was young, Liberty House would have free holiday wrapping. It was great and they did a good job. Drop them off and stop shortly later.


This wind mill on the Kona Royal hotel property is a thrown back. Look like it used to pump water somewhere at some time.


This is from the newish Kahului bridge on Alii Drive in Kona. The bridge was completed in 2021. To the County and Isemoto Construction’s credit, it was completed during the pandemic.


The south looking coast of Kona from the ocean access beach (no sand, just grass and rocks), just south of the Royal Kona Hotel. Sunday morning.
