Special Report Sunday.

Aloha: Today is the day!!!!! The great news for the year is that my daughter, Anakam, and her main squeeze, Topher, together with my mo'opuna are the proud owners of their own home in Hilo!!!! They closed on Thursday and are now waiting for the documents to be recorded in Honolulu. Before I started this blog, over a year ago, my older daughter, Ka'iulani, and her main squeeze, Burida, got there place. It sure feels good to know that one's children are well on their way to success and happiness. God has really blessed us!

Now for the mundane. The quaking of the earth and the spewing out of lava and all else that goes with this eruption is SOS. We have only had a trace of rain in the last 7 days. The birds are still stealing the dogs food and making a mess on our porch.

I just took a 10 question test. Turns out that I am, politically, a Libertarian. It is a test developed by David Nolan, and depending on your answers will tell you just what your political philosophy is, be it Centrist, Conservative, Liberal, Statist or Libertarian. I would venture a guess and say that over half the people in the United States do not really know what they are. When I got out of the Navy in 69 I went to the Hilo Campus of the University of Hawaii. In 70 I joined the Democratic party and became quite active behind the scenes. One of the big jokes in the party was that the people in the 2nd district, where I was from, thought they were Republican. I think that a majority of the people of Hawaii think they are Democrat because of the old plantation era when the bosses were Republican and the "common" folk were Democrat, so if you are a working stiff in Hawaii you are a Democrat, no matter what you believe. This test has you answer question about what you think or feel about a subject and when all your answers are plotted on a graph, and shows what you are within the five groups listed above. Pau for now.

God bless and be good to each other.
