I’d like to congratulate Hunter Bishop for his new job working with the County. I’m sure his expertise will help all of us on this island. It may surprise a lot of people that he will be working for the new Mayor, Billy Kenoi. It doesn’t surprise me at all, as I’m sure the Mayor [...]

I just saw a pretty cool site that show’s the air quality now in Hawaii. I’m fortunate that the area of Puna that I live in, the VOG isn’t that bad. It was actually much worse living in the location that I lived in on Oahu, then it ever has been here in Pahoa since [...]

More peace seemed to be had at this Walmart on Oahu then some of the mainland Walmart that I posted videos of earlier. I still wouldn’t want to be dealing with that mess though.

One of the primary reasons that I would submit written testimony when I want to provide testimony is because I’m often afraid that I will get cut off before I get through saying what I want to say. Another reason I hate to attend meetings, is because sometimes peoples testimony just goes on and on [...]

I just noticed Hawaii247 featured an article on some HAAS Students. Check it out “Students and volunteers bring in the harvest for the Puna Community”. Nice article Kristin, it’s good to see good articles on schools that are doing positive things in the community. So often the mainstream media seems to focus on all the [...]

If you get a chance, go check out Larry Gellers blog today on “Newspapers vs. the immediacy of the Internet“ I’ve been saying for about 10 years now that newspapers are a thing of the past. Just in the last few weeks alone we have seen many layoffs at both the Advertiser and the Big [...]

Mike and Carol Riley start feeling the weight when the trick-or-treaters disappear with buckets full of Halloween candy. The sadness never evaporates, but it lifts a bit after the last note of the last Christmas carol. That’s the reality of the holiday season for the Rileys, whose 19-year-old daughter, Kimberly, was killed along with 5-year-old [...]

They sell Deep Fried Spam Curds at the Minnesota State Fair. Why they haven’t come to Hawaii yet is the big question? And no… I wouldn’t buy one if they did! Although they do look just like chicken nuggets:

Argh! My turkey has been cooking for about 2 hours now… and nobody told me I was suppose to tie the legs with string. The skin is crawling up the legs leaving some ugly looking bones instead of nice tasty legs! Also no one told me I was suppose to put extra foil around the [...]

I just noticed this article in the UH Student Paper, Ka Leo, by Kris DeRego entitled “Oral sex is good for the mind, body and soul“. Among some of the claims in the article, it claims that semen is good cure for cancer: …Cure for cancer: Semen contains selenium, an important antioxidant. I don’t know [...]

Everyone knows I’m “Addicted” to my computer. I’m a bit leary to start letting my son play games or jump online just yet. The other day I mentioned a PBS TV show that Leslie Wilcox from PBS Hawaii turned my son on to. Tonight, I broke down and let my son jump on the computer. [...]
