A L O H A !
Welcome Back to Waikiki, Friend!

Those hills would seem far away
Those hills would seem far awayif I was stuck in a panic traffic jam
trying to beat a tsunami inland!

Some might just give up and grab a Primo, Hawaii's beer.But there is another solution.
Have you guessed it?
Paddlers carrying their canoe. In the windshield glare it looks likethey are carrying a blur.
It's called "Vetical Evacuation."
Going above the third floor in a solid, modern building
should render one an observer (rather than a victim) of a
tsunami here in Waikiki.
Mom lives on the 20th floor (mountain side) of a cement pile called The Waikiki Banyon.
With modern warnings here in Hawaii,
there should be plenty of time for me to get up there
and to start bickering over the TV news channel to watch.
Of course, she'd have first call on the bathroom!
Meanwhile, our Hawaii Air National Guard has made numerous flights to Samoa bringing medicine, food, & supplies.
Look around you.
If your world is in Normal Chaos
instead of Disaster
count yourself Blessed.
Your visits are certainly a blessing to me!
Thank you, Friends.
