I’ve been Googled

Just an observation. I noticed that lots of folks have been hitting this blog through Google. If you type-in the words big Kahuna buger picture or maybe the keywords Lokelani McMichael picture into Google and hit return you’ll find this blog page. Sorry folks, you won’t find a photo of either of those things here, [...]

A slow Monday

A slow Monday

Okay, those aren’t my feet, they belong to Chula who took a shot with my camera. Chula says she likes to take photos of herself when she’s bored. It was a pretty slow day, kind of overcast, hot and muggy. I’m not sure about those TV weather folks who said Kona had the low temperature [...]

Ono, outdated and outstanding

Ono, outdated and outstanding

Today lunch was at Quinn’s Almost By The Sea resturant. When you see the fresh ono on the menu for the fresh fish of the day that means it’s a great time to either get a fish sandwich (I like it cajun style) or fish ‘n chips. I opted for the ono fish ‘n chips. [...]

Working on the water

Working on the water

Long distance canoe race day in Kawaihae and I’ve hitched a ride on an official’s boat. Lucky I don’t get seasick as we were pitching around pretty good out there, plus taking photos at the same time. If you’ve noticed the fuzzy camera cellphone photos. I’m still in the protective phase with my new compact [...]

Hanging at the <i>Hippie House</i> aka: Chula’s pad

Hanging at the Hippie House aka: Chula’s pad

Chula attacks a frozen pizza with a spoon. Actually this was a lame attempt to redistribute chicken on a frozen Garlic chicken pizza. The little chicken squares tended to bounce off the pizza when attacked so we had to let them stay huddled together. That’s more like it. The cooked pizza with dusted with red [...]

Dropping in the universe

Dropping in the universe

Today I was having a conversation with a couple of state workers and things started to drift to politics. So I needed an escape hatch, not that I mind talking politics, but opinions always get heated, so I asked them where do the locals go to eat food in Honokaa? We all agreed that Tex [...]

Mud Puddle Mirror

Mud Puddle Mirror

A self-portrait taken in a mud puddle in Waimea with a canopy of eucalyptus trees overhead. Maybe I should submit it to the Mirror Project. Not much to report today. My car is still in the shop, I’m still driving a rental car and for once Waimea wasn’t raining, at least while I was there.

Tequila!

Tequila!

Tonight Travis came by to see what he might want out of the stash of goodies Arlene gave me. He took much of it and went away with Mai Tai and Margarita mix too. I was also going to give him this bottle of tequila that was unfamiliar to me. Then he and I noticed [...]

Happy Jack

That’s Jack, Arlene’s husband, happy as a clam with his 2nd schooner at the Harbor House down at Honokohau Harbor. For their last meal in Kona Jack decided that he and Arlene should go to the place he will miss the most, a place where he says the burgers are the best, the beer the [...]
