to be a monster huli-huli chicken barbeque started at 4 am.

It smells soooooo 'ono, damn!

Anyway I think we are in for a comparable experience this Nov. when results roll in. Based on our primary in this admittedly deep blue state, which rejected the Dino if favor of the Blue Warrior Neil Abercrombie (yes, our former Representative) in the Governor's race by a whopping 60-38?, and the loons that the wingers are fielding, I predict an ass kicking of historic proportions.

I've been wrong a lot, including laughing at the idea that anyone would vote for Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush. I haven't been on the continent for years, and I don't know many people there...perhaps I'm seeing the world through blue tinted glasses. But I'll bet my fins and boogieboard that we're going to come through this ok.

Also, please give Russ Feingold some money. http://www.russfeingold.org/

Amazing and real creature. I've seen them in action: Each type of camouflage helps them from each angle of view.



Aloha, mahina!

Not to eat...just to see.

8. Hey did you know you can freeze poi?

I mean, I guess you can freeze anything, but you can eat it afterwards. It's still edible.
