Today was a no agenda Saturday for the most part. Jon and Lou (Lina was at work) wanted to do a drive into Chinatown, Kakaako, Ala Moana Park, and Waikiki for Pokemon Community Day or something like that… to catch poke stops. I only half know what I’m talking about because I’m not into that stuff. I’m just the driver for these runs.…

So many longtime spots in Honolulu are closing!
Another one bites the dust. WTF is going on in Honolulu with all these establishments closing?? These are not fly by night, untested places.
Local news just had a headline and story that Kobe Japanese Steakhouse is closing at the end of the month.
Last week Gordon Biersch at Aloha Tower closed abruptly.
Hooters followed Gordon Biersch’s lead the same weekend and closed down.…

Tai Sei Again!
This place must be our favorite stop-in for meal place when we’re anywhere in town. We were just here a few weeks ago…
Getting out for some Activity again ~ Shopping???
Well alright then, it’s not a nature hike or anything, but we did get out and walk… the mall and stuff… does that qualify?
Got The Hell outta Da House
Last weekend Lou and I talked about doing something more active and out of the ordinary like venturing into Chinatown to just walk around. That’s what we did today. Just to get out, walk, and be away from the Ewa side for a while. So we walked thru the marketplace… Lou bought some atis.
yeah yeah web grabbed photos… I didn’t think to take pics as we walked around…
We thought we would eat at the food court or some restaurant in the heart of Chinatown, but we didn’t.…

Horrific pedestrian accident in Kakaako
It was more than just a drunk driving pedestrian accident. To me it is more than DUI and manslaughter charges. It should be three counts of murder plus whatever other charges for fleeing police, reckless driving, and whatever else can be stacked against this motherf***er for the non-fatal injuries. As soon as he went from simple driving while impaired to high speed, swerve across three busy lanes and plowing into the pedestrian triangle, knocking down the traffic pole along with hitting 6 pedestrians, and crashing into another vehicle across the intersection, which all proved criminal intent and using the truck as a deadly weapon, oh no it needs to be murder.…

Scary high-rise building fire on Kapiolani Blvd
Yesterday’s top and continuing coverage news story was about a high rise condominium fire by the Ala Wai on the mauka side, a place called Marco Polo condos. There are fires every now and then, typically confined to one unit or one house. But this kind of thing I only see on TV somewhere else in the country or world (like the recent London high rise fire).…

Not guilty verdict for Deedy
Local Hawaii news. Read the News Stories on Star Advertiser or KHON TV news. In short, Secret Service agent in Hawaii a couple of years ago for OPEC security has a few drinks prior to the summit, goes to a Mickey Dees in Waikiki, allegedly tries to break up an unfolding beef involving a rowdy local dude, and shoots him in the ensuing altercation.…

Visited Bishop Museum
Sunday, another day out and about. We went to the Bishop Museum. Lou, me, Peaches, Lina, Mom and Noel all went (in 2 cars). I don’t want to say I have no appreciation for Hawaiian history or anything like that, but even if it was Guam or any other historical museum, I just don’t get into it.
There was a young teenager band in the food tents area that was playing fairly decent, and played classic rock stuff which made it all the more entertaining to me..…

Sand Island Shooting incident
This, no doubt, will become one of the notorious Oahu shootings. What a tense standoff and wild ending, to say the leas last week, 11 days ago. This incident also coincidentally has ties to other personal events in my mind…. unmentionables of course.
