It’s been an honor covering the communities on the Big Island for West Hawaii Today and North Hawaii News but as of late Friday I am no longer working for these papers. I have friends who are still staff members at the papers and when you see them on assignment taking photos and doing their [...]

Wicked Wind
According to the National Weather Service we’re supposed to get high winds toda with gusts up to over 60mph. It already looks like we’ve got gusts over 40mph via this link to the Mauna Lani weather station. And if you look at the Puako live video feed on this link it looks like it’s blowing [...]
Bossy Flossie
For friends and family in Hawaii be prepared as Hurricane Flossie is on the way and she’s a big one, a category 4 hurricane with 135mph winds. Right now it’s scheduled to track south of the Big Island but from the path it will create some huge ocean surge for the islands, especially the Big [...]

Tab A into Slot B… or does it go into Slot A?
Got a call from Glennon, his buddy Fritz (that’s him in the photo) was over with a cooler full of steaks brought from the mainland, Iowa (not Omaha steaks). So both of them spent the afternoon (and evening) trying to find the perfect grill. They found a suitable grill, not quite the Weber they wanted [...]
Small Faces
Quiz time. Can someone tell me where this neglected artwork of faces is? Bonus points for who the artist is (to tell you the truth, I don’t know who the artist is).
