I am convinced I sat near Spalding Gray, eating outside a cafe in New Orleans, in June of 2000. I remember that I was strolling by with my good friends, Bonnie Raitt and James Taylor, and seeing you there. Small world. I’m so glad to hear this. I was at Joni’s house in Laurel Canyon with David Crosby, Gram Nash, Peter Asher and Mama Cass. Joni was wondering where Bonnie and James were. There were a few famous people there also, but I don’t want to be a name dropper. Mike

I’m with VI, no idea about who this Bill Irwin character is. Does he even play guitar?
I’m up, sun is jopust coming up. Looks like it will be a nice day, but the news says a tropical storm will arrive. This afternoon, wit real rain for tonight and tommorrow. And a flood watch. Princeville is on a headland over looking the bay so we should be good here, but it’s gonna be muddy in Hanalei.
We went to a great Japanese restaurant last night in Kapaa, called Kintaro. They had lots of dishes I had never heard of and I decided to try something out of my comfort zone. Yose Nabe think it was called. It was a HUGE iron pot of seafood, shrimp, clams, crab, mussels, veggies, and cellophane noodles cooked in a fish broth, it was…interesting. I could only finish about a quarter of it. Glad I tried it but I would not order it again. I’ll stick to tempura.
Today, are having lunch here, as the Condo associating is selling a 15 dollar burger plate with all the proceeds going to a local Kauai charity. A burger and a beer poolside while raising money fir a cause sounds good to me.
That’s all I got.

For the record, not that it matters, my feeling toward NPR can be applied to Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and all the major networks' news. So if no one can be trusted, where does one go for news? Mike

Interesting and thought provoking article. I used to listen to NPR, morning and night, for over thirty years. I don’t remember when I stopped, years ago. Around the time I got Sirius radio and found the Gratefull Dead channel maybe. But I still go to the NPR website, and NBC for my news. I look at this story and can’t help but think this is a result of the severe polerazation of political views. And I don’t think that’s gonna change anytime soon.

Morning. Sun is just coming up over the bay and it looks pretty. Birds are chirping, loudly. Yesterday we hit up Costco, and the farmers market, and we are loaded. Strawberry papayas, apple bananas, limes, greens… and sushi from Costco, which wasn’t as good as the sushi we got from the Dolphin, but was about half the price. Today I’ll go for a swim, and poke around Hanalei town. Mike This mornings view:

It seems completely wrong to me that anyone can buy some defunct trademark and use it and whatever goodwill the namesake created for their own ends.

Woke up at 4:30 this morning, but I went to bed at 8:00 last night. Exhausted from our late flight the day before. When I woke up this morning it was raining so hard it sounded like a freight train was parked outside the door. Groceries are really spendy here. Yesterday we went to Foodland, a local store and bought one bag of groceries. It was 150 bucks for that bag. 60 bucks was booze, but still. Today we will hit up the farmers market by Costco in Lihue and Costco too, we had sushi for dinner from the Hanalei Dolphin. Sooooo good and fresh. Tonight’s dinner will probably be a rotisserie chicken from Costco. Watching girls pro surfing on the Telly and going for a swim as the rain allows. Off to battle Wordle and connections now. Everyone stay safe.

Heading to the airport in a couple of hours. Hoping for a smooth flight. We will get in late for us. Maybe I can sleep a bit on the plane. Hope everyone has a good day.

#22 is something else. I’ve never watched basketball before but the Iowa girls have me glued to the games, Martin and Marshall aren’t too shabby either. Mike (you meant me, right?) Uhh, not exactly. Mike

It’s morning and the sun is out. Nita’s folks arrived yesterday and are ensconced at chez Wonders South. We are leaving on Sat for Kauai from San Diego and they will take us to to the airport, then house sit until we get back.
This morning it’s breakfast at Sherman’s, per Nita’s Dads request, then dinner at Pueblo Veijo for their Thursday fajita special. Bike ride and pinocchle in between.

If your car catches fire I would think it’s definitely contributing to global warming.
