Aloha: Wow. Today is the last day of the month of May. Time is going by so fast is is making me feel a little dizzy, and my anti-vert pills are all out of date. Yesterday the wife and I went to Cosco and boy, the money went faster than if we were in Vagas, and not as much fun. We also stopped at Petco and kissed $100 good-bye. The lady at Petco told us that Petco is looking for a place to build in Hilo. Why do they have to build? Why can't they use one of the many empty store fronts in Hilo and the outlining areas? Just a thought.
The weather report is great! We could still use a little wind but other than that a beautiful day. The volcano is just chugging along. Everything is SOS.
At this time in the history of the United States there is talk about the first Hispanic Justice on the Supreme Court. Some people point out that she is not going to be the first as there was a Portuguese justice a few decades back. There seems to be a little confusion about the definition of the word Hispanic. Some include Portuguese and some do not. I guess the former group never got the memo that Portuguese is a brand name.
Take care of each other and may God bless and keep each and every one of you.

Day 2
Aloha: Wow, another great day in Volcano! It is not as sunny as yesterday, but it is a glorious day here in "God's country".
To answer the comment on yesterday's post: Durning the run for the White House, Obama said that, if elected, anyone making less that $250,000 would not see their taxes go up. The tax on tobacco and proposed tax on beer and the "VAT" hits just that group of tax payers. Do not forget that the lowest 40% of wage earner in the United States, do not pay income taxes. The only way to get tax money from that group is to tax the items that they buy and use, hence tax tobacco, beer,soft drinks, and everything else with a "VAT".
As I said above, the weather is great! The volcano report is SOS.
I am still waiting for ideas for this blog. My brother, Manuel, has suggested that I take the rest of the year off, or limit my posting to once a month. I have these pearls of wisdom e-mailed to my siblings so he gets them whether he wants them or not. Lucky him. And the others.
That's it for today. God bless and be good to each other.

Another day.
Aloha: Today is the kind of day when one realises that there is no other place more beautiful than Volcano! The only thing missing is the movement of air; ie wind. There is a slight breeze that is keeping the vog out of the village, but it would be perfect if the wind would pick up about 5 to 7 mph. It is now 72 on the "sunny" side of the house, cloudy bright and dry. We have a dog that lives on the porch and it does not bother him on bit that the doves and myna birds eat his food. Boy, do the birds leave a mess.
Tremor is up at our volcano. Other than that all else is SOS.
I am feeling a little depressed. It seems that our ship of state is going down by the nose. The idea of a "VAT" was run up the flag pole and nobody in the majority party voiced any objection. The tax on tobacco was raised and the tax on beer is going up. Do you know that most people who smoke and drink beer earn less than $200,000 a year?
Say "good bye" Elemakule! God bless and take care.

Auwe, heat and humidity!
Aloha: Here I am in Hilo where the temperature is about 500 degrees and the humidity is in the low 200's. Auwe. I had to come to Hilo for a doctor's appointment, otherwise I would have stayed in the cool country of glorious Volcano. Topher and Anakam took CJ to the beach for the day so I am here with nobody to tell me what to look up on the Internet. (Like spiders and bugs and race cars.)
The weather was very voggy when we left the volcano this morning. I did not see anything of note on the HVO websites this morning.
Well, it is time for my afternoon nap so I will close for today. May the Lord be with you and take care.

Family Holiday 2
Aloha: Well here we are back at volcano on the windward side of the island. It was very sunny and clear in Kona this past weekend. A great time was had by all! The weekend went by way too fast. As usual there was too much food and all of it good!
Today is cloudy and wet here in "God's country". It is now 60 on the "sunny" side of the house. I do not think it will get any higher today. Topher does not work this week so I do not have to sit my mo'puna this week. I will be going to the doctor tomorrow as I am having a little trouble with my friend "Arther". He is getting way too interested in my hip.
Our volcano is just puffing along, doing its thing. The report is again SOS.
That's it for today. May God bless and keep all of you in the palm of his hand.

Family Hoilday
Aloha: Well, today, after pau hana, we will be heading out to Kona for our family holiday. Do not expect to see a post till next week Tuesday. Topher, CJ and Anakam will be going early to check in and Ka'iulani and Burida will be heading out after work. I do not think they will be in Kona till after 9p. I hope the wife and I will be able to be there by 7p. Check in is at 4p so the burden is on Topher and company to get us all settled in. Last year my wife and I were the last to arrive.
In today's volcano report from HVO, tremor is at moderate levels, and RB2S2BL quakes are at background levels. Other than that it is SOS. Just heard on the news that Mexico City just had a 5.8 quake.
The weather for today is bright and sunny. However, the winds are light and the plume is headed in the direction of the village. The other day as I was walking to the PO a guy stopped to advise me that the vog was coming and to be careful I do not get caught in the "cloud".
Nobody took the bait yesterday. I guess the note about sending the column to my reader yesterday may have put a damper on more comments. I hope not.
Take care and be good to each other. May God bless all of you and may God bless America.

Got to get back in the habit.
Aloha: Just like yesterday I forgot to get busy and do my thing. I only got one bite from my "Speaker and CIA director" bait yesterday. Poor thing, I sent her a copy of Dick Morris's latest column for her to read. I was just wondering, after Obama shuts down Gitmo, where is he going to put all the new high value captives we will capture in his expanded war in Afghanistan and maybe even Pakistan? Do you think he will do the "Laurence of Arabia" thing? I hope not.
The winds are light today so the vog is quite noticeable. The Volcano is SOS again and the earthquakes are being nice.
Tomorrow we are all going to Kona for the long weekend. It will be quite interesting as no one is doing any planning. All in favor of just kicking back and letting what will be, be, just raise your hand. (Hard to type with one hand.) One thing I know for sure is that we will have a very good time; we always do.

Auwe!
Aloha: It does not take long to get out of the habit. I forgot to post today. Just forgot all about it. I see that two of my followers have posted today. One a pretty picture and the other a funny picture. They are just showing off because they know I am challenged when it comes to this technology stuff.
How about a story from our latest travels. When we got home from our trip the plane flew over Hilo to land at the airport. Taxied to the end of the runway, turned around and come back to the gate. At the far end of the gates was a large plane with about 20 armed guards all around the plane, facing the plane. There were also several cars with flashing lights on the taxiway. When we got off I asked one of the airport security guards what was going on and was told that it was a prison plane and that it had developed problems and that it had been diverted to Hilo for repair. I guess that all the prisoners were on board as a plane that size could hold maybe 200 and Hilo would not have any place to keep that many people locked up.
Weather and Volcano reports are the same as yesterday. SOS.
How about the dust-up between the Speaker and the CIA? Obama's CIA director, Panetta, just about called the Speaker a lair. Any comments????
Take care and may God bless.

Guess who is back?
Aloha: Well, I am back. Denver is a very nice place. I have found that most places I have gone to are quite nice. The heart of Denver is the 16th street mall. Only special buses are allowed on the mall. Well, not quite. there were rickshaws and horse drawn carriages. A lot of places to eat at very reasonable prices, which was quite a surprise. Every restaurant had open air dining on the mall and much to my surprise there were no birds begging for food at the tables. As a matter of fact I saw very few birds in Denver, Very few bugs too. I did a lot of walking while my wife was in her meetings and now my "friend", "Arther Itis" is pestering me.
I was to sit my mo'opuna this week, but Topher went to work yesterday and completed the work that his boss had planned for the week so I do not have to sit this week. The whole family will be going to spend the holiday weekend in Kona. We have been doing this for the last few years now and always have a very pleasant time. We are all looking forward to this time together. I am one very lucky guy!
The volcano report is like I never left. SOS. The weather in volcano was a little voggy this morning, but it did clear up. Now it is cloudy and quite dark.
While we were waiting in Salt Lake City for our plane to Denver I saw an interesting thing. We were sitting near the gate and a girl, about 20 years old, went to the agent for reasons unknown to me. The agent looked at her boarding pass and called another agent over. The second agent had a police officer with him. The officer stayed back about 5 steps while the second agent talked to the girl. After about a minute the officer steps up to the girl, they then pick up her carry-on's and the officer takes her away. Now, those who know us, know that my wife has very good hearing and at the distance we were from the scene, she would have no trouble hearing what was going on so I turn to her and ask. Well, she had been reading and did not see or hear a thing. It was like finding out your ace in the hole is a deuce. She was sorry that she did not know what was going on as she is just as noisy as I am, although I think she would deny it.
I guess that will be it for today. I am kind of out of practice and will need to get back in the groove. Take care and may God bless all of you.

Trip Update
Aloha: Just a short note to let all of you, my faithful readers, know that my wife and I will be leaving on our trip to Denver tomorrow. That means that all you lucky people will not have to put up with me, unless I get my wife's laptop running while in Denver.
I am sitting with my mo'opuna for a short time this morning because Topher has to go to a meeting and Anakam had to go to work. As a consequences of this, I do not have to wash clothes. Talk about luck! When my wife is pau with the clothes and Topher is done with his meeting, the wife and I will have to do some last minute running around for the trip. The fun just never stops!
God bless and be good to each other.

Rule of Law
Aloha: Here I am sitting at my computer trying to figure out just what the weather will be like in 10 minutes. Right now it is glorious but less than half an hour ago I thought it was going to be really wet. It is now 61 outside and about 10 degrees higher in the house.
Yesterday I asked a question about the "Rule of Law". Someone sent this in: Rule of Law: That individuals, persons and government shall submit to, obey and be regulated by law, and not arbitrary action by an individual or a group of individuals. I guess that makes sense. I guess in the old days if the king woke up on the wrong side of the bed strange things could happen.
Our volcano is just doing its thing. I noticed that in the Kilauea update from HVO, they will say something to the effect that 6 earthquakes were located under the summit, but when you check the earthquake site it does not show those earthquakes. I think that when the HVO, in their Kilauea update, states "located" they really mean "recorded". As in RB2S2BL quakes. (Recorded But 2 Small 2 Be Located)
It is still a sunny day so I think I will go for a short walk. I did not go to the PO yesterday so I think that is where I will go. God bless you all.

Do not like the weather, just wait.
Aloha: Have you noticed that I have gotten lazy and just use "Aloha" as my opening? I have another question. What does if mean when one says "The rule of law"? Just what is the "rule of law"?
Well, here I am up in God's country and the weather keeps changing. When I got up it looked like it was going to be a cloudy, dark day. Then the sky cleared and when I checked the HVO webcam Halema'uma'u was socked in. Then the sky got cloudy and now it is sunny and bright.
We had a very pleasant evening last night. After the award ceremony we went out to eat. Unfortunately Kaiulani and Burida were not able to go with us. They had company at home so had to go straight home after the event. We were thinking of going to Ken's but decided to go the Don's instead. Anakam had her usual and I started to tease her about it until it was pointed out that I always order the same thing too.
I checked the Halema'uma'u webcams last night when we got home and saw glow from only one camera. This morning's report states that glow was recorded by both cameras. I guess they have better eyes than I do. The rest of the report is SOS. It has been three weeks since the HVO staff has been able to measure SO2 emisions. ( I just tried to do a spell check and nothing happened.)
Do be good to each other and may God bless you all.

Another Day
Aloha: Here it is another day in the life of your favorite blogger. I am in Hilo today as the wife and I will be going to the award ceremony for our daughter, Anakam, tonight. Unfortunately we will be in Denver for her graduation next week. At the end of this month all of us (The wife and I; Anakam, Topher and CJ; Kaiulani and Burida) will be going to Kona for the long weekend. We have been doing this for the past 4 or 5 years now and we always have a great time. The girls will not let me watch my news shows so these trips are very good for my blood pressure.
The weather and the volcano update for today is SOS.
I do not have the news channel on so I do not know just what our "fearless leaders" are taking away from us today. I guess no news is "good" news, but I am not so sure with this bunch in Washington. God bless all of you and may God bless America.

A Blank Mind
Aloha: Here I am up here in "God's country" with nothing of great importance to write about. A nephew of mine went to the hospital Sunday with chest pain, thankfully, it looks like acid reflux, and not heart trouble. I had a bad case on acid reflux and had to have the "scope" down the "hatch" for a look around. Now I take a little pill every day and have not had an attack in years. You can tell how old you are by the number of pills you take every day.
It looked like it was going to be a beautiful day at 6a this morning. I went for a walk at about 6:45 and the sun just disappeared, so I cut the walk short. It is now cloudy and kind on misty. The temperature on the "sunny" side of the house is 59 and I would not be surprised if that is as high as it gets.
There was glow recorded, from both webcam at Halema'uma'u, last night. That makes three days, or should I say nights, now that glow has been reported. Other than that everything else is SOS with our volcano.
Well, as Woody Woodpecker would say, "That's all folks". God bless and be good to each other.

Big Island Blogs
Aloha: I got a note in the comment section of my blog a few days ago with a link to blogs from the BI. I had no idea there were more that just a handful. It looks like I will have to spend more time reading just what other people are talking about.
Last night was rather warm up in "God's country". The wind is still blowing in the wrong direction so the air is not as clean as we would like. I am not in the habit of checking the webcams at night so did not see that the two cams at Halema'uma'u showed a glow. The webcam on ML shows that most of winter's snow is gone.
The HVO reports that tremor is up but other than that everything else is SOS. As I said earlier the wind is not blowing in the correct direction so the SO2 has not been measured since April 15th.
Topher is off this weed but I had to come to Hilo to get new lenses for my glasses. I will be down again on Wednesday for the award ceremony for Anakam. Next Sunday the wife and I will be going to Denver for her user conference. I will have trouble posting while there so I guess you all will luck out.
That's all for today. God bless you all and my He bless America.

Lazy Me
Aloha: When we got back from Hilo yesterday I was just too lazy to write about anything. The day was beautiful yesterday up here in God's country. How would I know if I was in Hilo most of the day, you may ask? Well, the temperature in the house when we got home was 80. That's right, 80 degrees! Inside the house is usually 10 degrees warmer then outside so on a sunny day it can get really hot in the house. It is about noon here in volcano on this beautiful Sunday, and it is 64 on the porch and 73 in the house. I hope it does not get any hotter this afternoon.
There has been no real change in our volcano for the last few days. It would be nice if the wind would pick up so that the air would clear up.
Tomorrow I have to go into Hilo to get new lenses put in my glasses. Next week Sunday the wife and I leave to go to Denver. I checked the weather in Denver and it looks like it is about the same as here in Volcano.
Topher will be off for the next few weeks so I will not have to worry about who will be watching CJ while we are away. We will be in Hilo on the 6th as Anakam will be getting an award for her work in school. I really do not know just what kind on job she will be doing when school is pau. She does enjoy what she is doing at Sears, and it seems that she does have a knack for retail sales, so.......
I guess I will close for today. Be good to each other and may God bless each and every one of you.

What are they thinking????
Aloha: As most of you know I listen and "watch" the news as I check mail and do other things on the computer, including doing this blog. Well, Congress, in their infinite wisdom, is now in the process of debating whether or not we should have a national championships for college football. Hey, look at that, Obama just interrupted the press briefing to announce that Justice Suitter is stepping down.
When I got up this morning it looked like it was going to be a bad day for a walk. Now the sun is shinning. It is still below 60 outside. I hope to be able to go to the PO this afternoon.
The volcano is doing its thing. The excitement of two days ago has diminished. I have looked at the webcam over the vent and the pictures taken at night are very grainy. RB2S2BL quakes have returned to background levels. SO2 levels have not been updated since "tax day" because the plume is not blowing over the sensors. My feeling is that this is going to go on well after I am dead, not that I am planning on departing any time soon. The earth measures time on a very different scale then we do.
Tomorrow the wife and I will have to go into Hilo early to pick up breakfast from some sort of fundraiser. My wife gets tickets every year.
God bless and take care of each other.

Tomorrow the wife and I will have to go into Hilo early to pick up breakfast from some sort of fundraiser. My wife gets tickets every year.
God bless and take care of each other.
