Saturday…Kitten update, green harvest, the boondoggle effect, and cyber warfare

May 19th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Cats, General

It’s drizzling in Kaaawa this morning, delaying our walk while we try to wait out the precipitation. We’re entering Day 4 of this kitten rescue. The other cats are not amused. This morning I found it is very hard to get anything done in front of a computer with six or eight ounces of wiggling [...]

Friday…Baltimore, legislative disclosures, travel policy, and friday’s feline

May 18th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Cats, Ethics, General

If you read yesterday’s entry and couldn’t find the link to the U.S. News report on American Water, you weren’t alone. But I eventually got that link fixed, so don’t hesitate to try again. After spending last weekend in Baltimore, I couldn’t help noticing a proposal to allow emergency imposition of “public safety act zones” [...]

Thursday, con’t…kitten rescue, Mazie at the DNC, & American Water

May 17th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Cats, General

We didn’t need this complication yesterday after just getting back from the mainland. But…we were only about a block from home, walking up Lihimauna Road where it comes up the hill behind the post office. There’s still a large empty lot that slopes up from that dead end of Kekio to the corner of Lihimauna [...]

May 17th, 2007 · No Comments · Campaigns, General, Politics

I received a response on Tuesday from Ed Case to my post several days ago. It arrived by email via an AOL address, “edcasesenate”. He wrote: This sure came out of left field. I don’t know who you had lunch with, and suspect you won’t tell me (will you?) I don’t know whether he was [...]

Wednesday/ Baltimore, Naked Guy, a Chronicle report, & more

May 16th, 2007 · 2 Comments · General, Media

First things first. Where in the world were we? Frances got it right. We were in Baltimore and happened to run right into the Preakness Parade. Actually, we were heading downtown to walk around the Inner Harbor area and ended up being something like the third car blocked at the corner as the parade arrived [...]

Technical update

May 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment · General

Aha. Several people report the problem of the main content getting pushed down the page seems to primarily occur with Internet Explorer Version 6. Others using Windows XP with alternative browsers, including Explorer 7, say that they don’t have the same problem. So one solution is to update your browser. Meanwhile, I’ve been pointed to [...]

Technical help needed!

May 15th, 2007 · 3 Comments · General

Some readers report seeing a big blank space at the top of this page where the day’s entry should be. I was finally able to replicate the problem viewing the site with Internet Explorer running in Windows XP via Parallels on a MacBook Pro. Sure enough, the daily entries, the main body of the page, [...]

Tuesday/ Campaigning prosecutor, public records column, Molokai, Hilo, etc.

May 14th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Ethics, General, Sunshine

After mentioning the Supreme Court finding earlier this year that City Prosecutor Peter Carlisle did not have the authority to spend public funds advocating a specific vote on a ballot question, a reader called attention to a bill pending before the City Council to specifically authorize such spending. Bill 45 (2007) is on the council [...]
