Suffice to say…its not cheap to find a place to live in Hawaii…I haven’t asked but I wonder if they want a deposit on that closet? First and last? cd I have a closet for rent – there is space in it for one person sleeping upright; you’re able to lean against the backboard if…

Toilets, sinks, and flush valves disappeared from 28 Oahu public rest rooms over the last 3 weeks. Can you picture this gang?? [Cue Mission Impossible music…] Thieves in the last three weeks have hit scores of city park bathrooms and made off with a valuable commodity: $10,000 worth of brass toilet flush valves. City officials…

As a person who lives here, let me just speak out and say that none of the flies need to be protected. Does this mean I can face fines if I kill flies? If you try to sit in my yard and eat something or read or just enjoy the day, you will see that…

If that doesn’t stop you from getting in the water, the box jellyfish are also out in force. And a tornado warning has been issued for Lana’i. We’re getting out of here and…

You may remember me blogging about these guys a while back. Well, it turns out they are getting attention as far away as Iraq. On Oahu you can’t go a block without seeing one of the stickers. As a matter of fact, I have one on the laptop I’m typing this on….Nice job guys (and…

If you are planning to come to Hawai’i, this might not be the best time. It’s been weeks since I’ve been in the ocean due to sewage spills that resulted from heavy rains. We’ve had lots of flooding and rain for the past month or so with no sign of it letting up. Luckily, I’m…

I hope they gave this kid a good talking to…the best part of this story is that it made it into the newspaper… cd StarBulletin.com | News | /2006/03/10/ Boy, 10, arrested for stealing $1.50 Police arrested a 10-year-old boy after he allegedly stole $1.50 from a 9-year-old boy on Wednesday.
