Initial impressions after arriving Friday evening…The cries of the coqui frogs hit as soon as we got off the Hawaiian Airlines flight. Lots of [...]

Actually, in this case, mostly found. Three items dredged up yesterday afternoon. First…a flashback to being in the JPOs at Kahala Elementary School.
