The U.S. Transportation Dept. will enforce a new ban on lithium batteries aboard passenger airliners starting on January 1. That is bad news if I take more than 1 digital camera, my laptop and other devices that run on these and my spares. It’s going to significantly add to the cost of travel if our batteries are taken away and we are forced to buy new batteries at our travel destinations…. and then either abandon them or ship them back on a separate carrier.

I worked for Dave Reed for a few years in the early 1990s after our ad agency merged with his. He was a nice man and I’ve always remembered him for the story he told us about the attack on Pearl Harbor from when he was a kid on that fateful day in 1941.

I went in to the Symposium believing that the rail is an absurd waste of taxpayer dollars and will do nothing to help the needs of the 90 percent of Honolulu’s commuters who travel by car.
I went in knowing that according to Honolulu’s own Alternatives Analysis, rail will not reduce traffic congestion here one bit.
The symposium (sort of an all-day brain washing/cheerleading event) did not change my mind.”
THE $6.4+ BILLION DOLLAR RAIL PROJECT IS A WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY!
8 months agoUniversity of Hawaii fans at Aloha Stadium are out of control:
The good news: my family and I are now back home in California and had a great 5 days in Hawaii. The bad news? Fights, alcohol, lax security, and thug fans have turned Aloha Stadium into what is likely the most horrible game day atmosphere in college football.
Author’s Note: The following article contains harsh language.
Read the entire article. These is not the only incidents I heard of. Shame on Hawaii football fans. 8 months agoGirls Girls Girls!
So there I was one late night posting away at one of my favorite web boards, Hawaii Threads.com. The subject was “Female Tribute Bands”. I just added a bunch of bands that I made up on the spot without realizing that a real band existed somewhere. The names I made up included Some Girls - Rolling Stones; Girls Don’t Cry - The Cure; Sweet Emotions - Aerosmith; and Girls Girls Girls - Motley Crue - notice all the group names are either after songs or an album. I posted the message and forgot all about it.
Today I get a message from Nikita Sels, bass player for the only female Motley Crue cover band, “Girls Girls Girls.”
She writes: “i was doing an internet search to see what i could find about us and saw your posting on a hawaiithreads message board. Girls Girls Girls was a fantasy all-girl tribute band you mentioned, and alas, we do exist! check us out!”
So check them out at My Space I did and here they are below. Visit their My Space page for more videos, music, photos and info. I bet they can rock with the best of them!
