On The Media this past week floated the idea of bringing back the Work Progress Administration’s Federal Writers’ Project which happened during the Great Depression. During the 1930s’ writers documented what was happening in America during the Great Depression. We’re talking Studs Terkel and John Steinbeck being two of the many writers who participated in the [...]

I didn’t take many photos this night. You really needed a 10 and some Alien Bees. So staffers and even some ex-staffers and friends came out for my farewell get-together. Okay, the food and brew probably would have had them enjoying the night anyway but at least my escape from the paper stood as a [...]

So I decided to test out an iPhone App I have called Yelp that uses my location to make suggestions for places to eat or drink nearby. Yelp suggested Sugoi only about a block away. [...]

Okay, I think I’m going to clean my apartment when I get back to Kona after seeing this apartment online. I wonder if there’s a treadmill under all that trash in the gal’s apartment? She seems to have a bottle of Febreze, a Brita water pitcher and doesn’t smoke in the kitchen. I’m sure that [...]
‘You crash, we dash’

Shaka and suds at 777
Dennis at Triple 7 during my last night in Las Vegas. He hosted a BBQ at his place the night before, no photos of that as it was just too kick-back. Dennis practicing his shaka for a future trip to Hawaii. Â Carly probably wondering if she could finish another Royal Red Ale. Triple 7 [...]
More dough
Fry bread in Cameron. This is fat-free right? Grand Canyon next. The drive west. That’s a lot of erosion. Â My hosts, Matt was at work, in Flagstaff. They used to live in Hawaii, okay, Dooley lived in California until he got displaced by wildfires and couldn’t find his owners but he seems to be [...]
