Happy Friday the 13th to all my readers. It is a wet day up in Volcano this morning. Wet all the way down this morning, but here in Hilo it is cloudy but dry, for now. There is always a "sliver lining" and our water tank is overflowing. It is great to take a long, hot shower, although not so nice electric bill wise.

Our volcano is just prodding along, sending up a lot of fume, and not much else. So I guess the "official" volcano update is SOS.

I e-mailed this blog to several, hopefully, readers and got a total of no responses. Hint, hint.

I got an e-mail about the stimulus that was quite funny. Reminded me of something I heard the other day. I am paraphrasing here: To finance the the stimulus we borrow the money from China and give it to the people, the people go to Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart sends the money back to China. Sad but true.

Oh well, will close for now. Take care and may God bless us all.
