Mahalo to Scott for this pointer. The conclusion: “We like sex and plenty of it, with lots of different partners, oh, and a few toys to give it that extra edge. And we’re not averse to a bit on the side either, if the opportunity is there.” Egads, what would the new pope think?
That’s What Friends Are For…
Honolulu Police stopped a man who was allegedly driving a stolen vehicle in Haleiwa at about 9 a.m this morning. As officers were arresting him, his friend, sitting in the passenger seat, climbed behind the steering wheel and drove off. Another car thief was caught sleeping behind the wheel of the stolen vehicle with its headlight on early this morning. Transplanted Floridiots perhaps, Scott?
On the other hand, there is some good news…
the Hawai’i County Council voted 7-1 last week to issue $500,000 in general obligation bonds that would help pay for the purchase of a large tract of land on the Ka’u coast and keep it out of developers’ hands.

Buy a lot and build a house in the wrong area and you’re likely to find it burned to the ground some day by your pakalolo (marijuana) growing neighbors. When we are shopping for property around 7 years ago we look at HPP and said “Thanks, but no thank you very much.” Lots could be had in the $5,000-10,000 range even then. Nice for current land and home owners in…
Busy, busy, busy!
Things have been hectic in East Hawai’i for the past few weeks. I spent a few days in Honolulu toward the end of March, setting up an XServer at UH-Manoa. It’ll be the eventual home of Ulukau, our Hawaiian Language Digital Library. Our son returned from Iraq to Honolulu that week as well, so I stayed over and greeted him and the other returning soldiers at Wheeler Airforce Base. I got heavily involved in writing up a big grant proposal for our technology section at Ka Haka ‘Ula O Ke’elikolani, and then our son and some of the other Hawai’i…
Irish bookmakers take bets on next pope…
though they suspended betting on Sunday out of respect. How nice of them.
