I just finished a brief early morning interview on “The Jeff Portnoy Show”, AM 1500, featuring attorney turned sports commentator Jeff Portnoy. If you are checking out this site after listing to Jeff, you might want to check out the entry he quoted from regarding the June Jones Foundation and the settlement with UH. Click [...]

Wednesday…Crash victim fished with my dad, more on the spay-neuter contract
December 31st, 2008 · No Comments · Cats, Dogs, General, Politics
It wasn’t just the clouds and rain that cast a pall over everything yesterday. It was the fourth-hand rumor received mid-day, confirmed late in the afternoon, that the victim in a fatal motorcycle accident in Waipahu the day before was part of a small group of men who, up until recently, fished together regularly on [...]

Tuesday, continued: Rainbow dogs
December 30th, 2008 · No Comments · General
I was hurrying along Hauhele Road trying to get the camera out while keeping the umbrella between myself and the rain. Precious and Kala were oblivious to the rainbow above them, focusing instead on my arrival with the daily dog biscuits. The rainbow was quickly fading, and I only caught its fleeting tail end (aplogies [...]

Tuesday…PUC report on 2006 blackout, ‘Tiser staffers bemoan blackout edition, more on spay-neuter contract, a pre-war parade?
December 30th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Cats, Dogs, History, Media, Photographs
KITV caught the Public Utilities Commission report on the 2006 blackout which was issued December 19, just days before the latest island-wide loss of power, and the Star-Bulletin followed with a story today. Neither online version of the stories includes a link to the PUC report. You can find it on the PUC’s list of [...]
Monday…Spay-neuter program changes coming, a failing grade to Germaine’s Luau, Carlson on Perry & Price, and Ala Moana/Ward in 1955

I have to admit very mixed feelings about the change in the city-sponsored spay and neuter program. According to an Advertiser story today by Will Hoover, the program will change substantially when the new contractor takes over in February from the Hawaiian Humane Society, which has coordinated the program for decades. Instead of surgeries being [...]

Sunday…Apologies for missing the S-B’s blackout edition, Meda’s quoted in Indiana newspaper, and finally some morning dogs
December 28th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Dogs, Media
Apologies to friends at the Star-Bulletin, who are obviously upset by my comment yesterday about the online availability of the Advertiser’s Saturday edition that never made it into print. Apparently the Star-Bulletin actually got a paper on the streets and to some subscribers despite the blackout. That print edition never made it to Kaaawa and [...]

Saturday…Black Hole swallows Oahu, Black Cat makes an entrance
December 27th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Cats, General
The potatoes were about 5 minutes from mashing and the artichoke just shy of tender when the power went out around 6:45 last night. Luckily, we were planning on leftover ham, which could be eaten cold. So we sat down to dinner in the dark, relying on a small Costco electric camp light, and waited [...]

Friday…Christmas passed, legislative ethics, spotting lobbyists, and catnip for Feline Friday
December 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Cats, Ethics, Photographs, Politics
The Delhi Union of Journalists has issued a public statement asking “newspapers and TV channels to stay away from reports smacking jingoism and war mongering,” according to published accounts. Let us strive to be part of the solution through balanced coverage rather than fester fresh scars of fanning hatred not against terrorists but between two [...]
