Sunday miscellany

It’s just 5:35 a.m. and the eastern sky is already lighting up. That’s a big change from the mornings of mid-January, at the start of Hawaii’s legislative session, when walking at 6 a.m. required flashlights. Very soon, the sun will be up before we even leave the house. That makes for a very different morning experience, and for us it passes as “seasons”.

Kauai reporter and blogger commented on the Advertiser’s front page story yesterday about the Superferry’s lobbying tab.

This has got to be a first, a blogger breaking the news, the daily chasing it and actually quoting you about whether you’re satisfied with Mollway’s response. Journalism is really changing.

College students and very recent grads have time to apply for the White House Internship Program’s Fall 2008 positions. Application deadline is June 3.

The Los Angeles Times Daily Travel Blog commented on the escalating air fares between Hawaii and the west coast, now over $800. So we’ve got the double whammy of limited seats and soaring prices. What’s next?

The confusion over just which of the competing Hawaiian Kingdom Governments had taken over Iolani Palace last week, and the reaction I got when probing the quesiton, reminded me of that Monty Python riff in their movie, Life of Brian, where they discuss the sectarian politics of the day.

And I forgot to mention this University of Hawaii story about the UH cat care policy that includes litter boxes on campus and the group set up to do the work. There’s even a contact for anyone who would like to help with one of the campus cat colonies.

Now it’s time to whip up my weekly egg white omelet.
