Apologies if site response is slow this morning…

Tuesday…Dem’s media guidelines, more caucus info, ‘Tiser e-mail ads, and a beautiful Monday morning

February 19th, 2008 · No Comments · Campaigns, General, Photographs, Politics

The rather uprecedented public interest in tonight’s Democratic Party caucuses might bode well for the party, but it also means a very long day of hard work for those involved. A friend observes that “we have the largest press corps that’s ever shown up here for Democratic caucuses. CNN., Fox, the original networks, major Mainland [...]

Monday…when a brawl is not a brawl, politics, etc.

February 18th, 2008 · 2 Comments · General

Here’s another one, although this time the phrase “large affray” is used in place of “brawl”. From an Advertiser “breaking news” item posted Sunday evening: A 32-year-old McCully man was arrested by police early today on Kona and Pensacola streets on suspicion of stabbing another man. The man was arrested at 3:45 a.m. when officers [...]

Sunday…I’m late.

February 17th, 2008 · No Comments · General

Yes, I’m late. It’s after 9 a.m. and I’m just beginning. I’ll blame “technical difficulties” but, really, sunrise walk, coffee, and an egg white omelet came first. I was derailed by the sunrise, then an inspection of the scene of the 2:30 a.m. accident that took out a long stretch of fence in front of [...]

Saturday…More on Costco thefts, State Party ruffles Obama-supporters’ feathers, Advertiser strike vote and other newspaper news, and more on that (less than) super rudder

February 16th, 2008 · No Comments · General

A regular reader responded to yesterday’s special post regarding thefts in the Costco parking lot: I got the the same email. There has been a problem at the Iwilei Costco for nearly two years. There are a number of men on bikes who have purse snatched from old ladies and have tried the doors of [...]

A special crime alert

February 15th, 2008 · 6 Comments · General

I received this forwarded email this a.m. from a reliable source and thought it worth sharing. Fair warning. I would not normally send just any message via email to everyone I know but this happened to me yesterday and thought it might save you from the same grief I experienced. After shopping at Costco in [...]

Friday…Sun and snow in Hawaii, more on the Dem caucuses, and Friday Felines

February 15th, 2008 · No Comments · Cats, General

Here’s the way our Valentine’s Day started–a magnificent sunrise viewed from the beach in Kaaawa. The day before we caught a bit of a green flash as the sun rose. No flash yesterday, just this great expanse of light, clouds, and ocean. And if that’s not quite to your liking, check out these photos of [...]

Thursday…musings on Hawaii’s Democratic caucus

February 14th, 2008 · 8 Comments · Campaigns, General

I still can’t say for sure where my vote will go in next week’s Democratic caucus. Our precinct meets with the rest of District 47 at Kahaluu Elementary School. Hopefully my mind will be made up by then. Robin Morgan’s feminist defense of Hillary Clinton against outrageous misogynistic attacks speaks to a lot of key [...]
