@djsundog yep. Most definitely. I can pretty much trace every ache back to a specific time and place Football, volleyball, baseball, outrigger canoe paddling, putting my body on the line at work, etc.
@RickiTarr Blazing Saddles all the way. Also runner up Pulp Fiction
@Miraz @jean. We have a beach called Magic Sands. The sand disappears during the winter and returns in the summer. It gets washed off shore. bigislandguide.com/white-san...
@Miraz fascinating. We’re on the west side of the island, but predominate weather is on the east side or windward side. The difference in hemispheres.
@Miraz Interesting. Hawaii is more affected by tides and periods of high surf. The upper part of wide beaches above the high tide point kind of stays the same.
@Miraz that happens here when a super high tide come in and buries all kind is stuff on the beach. Kind of looks like your might be shifting sands
@ptrck my MRI not till this week, then we’ll find out what’s going on inside. Feel like torn rotator cuff to me
@odd one of my total faves
@larand yep
@stupendousman After just watching Franklin and John Adams and knowing my family's history, it makes me very sad. We had a revolution and have maintained the democracy for so long, only to see if destroyed.
@Archimage when we set up our trust a few years ago there was a portion about what we want for the end of life. We both chose to be cremated, then whatever. We’re leaving up to whoever is left dealing with it. We’re planning on buying cremation plans so no one had to deal with figuring that out. It will be enough work dealing with whatever stuff is left.
@mitchw the apocalypse
@eurobubba I recall shoveling coal into the back of the CPU
@xxxx good stuff. My ex wife is a 13 year grad. K-12, and was Dr Chun’s secretary before he retired. Most of the staff at my cafe were KS grads from Maui going to UH Hilo’s Hawaiian studies
@xxxx I had the Hawaiian language dictionary on my desk for years when I built websites for local businesses
@xxxx my ex-GF’s granddaughter went to an Hawaiian immersion school, so everyone in the house took Hawaiian language. I understand more than I can speak. When I had my cafe in Hilo, most of employees with Hawaiian language students. We printed the menu in Hawaiian
@odd my family goes back to the Virginia militia in the revolutionary war. It’s fascinating history to me.
@Seadave nice. I had a ‘65 impala in college.
@larand I grew up in Hawaii, I can make a go if it. Local knowledge.
@larand I guess with age and more health issues, it's back on the table. What changed since the last time we discussed it is that they showed their back side politically during the pandemic.
@odd yep. I’ve gone to Dodger games as part of another trip. Don’t have the means or time to fly 5 1/2 hours each way to see a game.
Every year I hope and wish and dream they change the policy.
@starrwulfe it's aggravated me since MLB.tv became a thing. I always thought blackouts were to nudge fans to go to games rather than stay home and watch on TV. There's large broadcast money at play and Hawaii is just a small market stuck in the middle. Seattle used to be on this list.
Live regular season games involving the following Clubs are subject to MLB.TV blackouts in the specified zip code: Los Angeles Angels Los Angeles Dodgers Oakland Athletics San Diego Padres San Francisco Giants
@starrwulfe yep it sucks. Every west coast team
@starrwulfe the challenge in Hawaii is back-outs of all west cost teams. I use MLB audio
