Spaghetti That Stuck to the Wall

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!

“Veil after veil 

of thin dusky gauze 

is lifted, and 

by degrees the 

forms and colours 

of things are 

restored to them, 

and we watch the dawn 

remaking the world 

in its antique pattern.” 

                            Oscar Wilde

" Better an 
ounce of happiness 
than a pound 
of gold. "
                          Jewish Proverb

" If 

you have a talent,

 use it 

in every which way

 possible.

 Don't hoard it. 

Don't dole it out 

like a miser. 

Spend it lavishly 

like a millionaire intent 

on going broke. "

                     Brendan Francis

" One accurate 

measurement

 is worth a thousand

 expert opinions. "

                Admiral Grace Hopper

and the heart

of we who

Scene At The Post Office

A  L  O  H  A   from Honolulu 96815

Feels like

nothing really bad

could happen here.

I enjoy

checking the mail

at the Post Office.

and Caesar, I’m out

 to conquer the world. -

at Walmart and 

pick up some supplies.”

Hawaii is largely 

a natural environment.

Being born in a large city, 

living much indoors,

makes this a 

strangely nostalgic 

space to me

Is that a drone

 waiting patiently?

It IS indeed!

Someone's pet

sent for their mail?

[ Is a drone a critter? ]
