Latest radio report: mayor of Maui County reports 7-8 ft wave expected at 1130am HST at Kahului. To me this may mean airport closed, it’s going to be a long day. NOAA Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

Monitoring Pacific Tsunami warning system site, wave heights reported at Easter Island only a couple feet, expected to reach Hilo about 1105am HST, it’s currently 640am HST.

For context, it was a Chilean eathquake in 1960 that caused a devastating tsunami to hit Hilo, with terrible loss of life. This is serious, because although the waves may only be 1-2 feet high in The…

Today being our last full day on Maui (booooooooooo!! WAAAAAAAAH!!) we went for one last snorkel swim at the far end of the beach from the condo. I had been talking big like “Oh, let’s go to this place south of Ka’anapali” that I read about in the Snorkel Maui Lanai and Molokai Guide but in the end my relaxed attitude towards early rising this last week led to some pretty late starts. That’s okay, we’re still on vacation! Anyway, we got our gear out and went down the beach for what turned out to be a pretty enjoyable snorkel.…

David didn’t notice the downsizing until he grabbed 2 different cans the other day. My own can of Aloha Maid was 11.5 oz./ 340ml of uncarbonated cane sugar goodness, instead of a full twelve ounces.

New restaurant in Kihei, open only three weeks, with three young owners. Great food, great prices, nice ambiance makes a change from all the slightly funky places in the same block. Wheelchair access ramp, indoor seating with air-conditioning, outdoor deck under a shady tree doubles the seating area. No liquor yet, but planning to open a new club/lounge section by April. WIN! Three’s Bar & Grill, a new Hawaiian Fusion restaurant, occupies the space of the former Bada Bing restaurant in Kihei’s Kalama Village. They serve up a fusion of Hawaiian, Southern, and Eastern cuisine with steak and seafood specialities.…

UPDATE: Wow! This was a great luau! We’ve been to probably… 8 luaus, so we know a little about what to expect. Some are better than others – we went to one on the Big Island last year that was a disappointment, but so far every Maui luau we’ve been to has been a good experience. We’ve even been to the Wailea Maui Marriott’s show before, remembered chiefly for the mother/calf pair of whales that showed up close to shore doing the show. But tonight’s show, called “Honua’ula”, was one of the best we’ve ever enjoyed. Why? Because they do…

bright enough to know you have to declare a firearm when checking in for a flight, not bright enough to UNLOAD and then PROPERLY HANDLE the weapon when declaring same. Skycap suffered minor shrapnel injury in his foot because this dumbass took a loaded weapon to the Salt Lake airport. Security scare: Gun accidentally discharged at Salt Lake City airport – Salt Lake Tribune A passenger checking a gun accidentally discharged his weapon on the curbside of Terminal I of Salt Lake City International Airport. The passenger was declaring his weapon to Sky Cap when he either mishandled or dropped…

A reminder from long ago – Procter and Gamble being accused of Satanism. I remember a neighbor kid’s mom earnestly telling me to let my mom know how to read the Satanist symbolism on a box of Tide. Thing is, I think this was well before 1980, when Snopes and other websites claim the rumor took hold. I remember it in Utah in the mid-70’s… from a lady who I think used and sold Amway products. Hmm. – Salon.com What we have here is less a political than a community mental-health problem. We’ve seen it all before. Paranoia blooms whenever…
