O Dirty December
Yet Christmas Remember.
This month keep they body 
and head from cold. 
Let thy Kitchen be thy Apothecary, 
warm clothing thy Nurse, 
merry company thy Keepers, 
and good hospitality thine Exercise.

All over America
citizens are marching.

They are not
against the police,
but they are against
the way some police
behave.

The toughest job
needs the strongest
people, not hurt
feelings and resentment
when we ask "Why?"

Every life
is supreme.

Precious.

Time for change.

Hands Up - Don't Shoot.

Thank You

for visiting!

Sweet Air is Back

A  L  O  H  A!

The "Ha" in Aloha 

is the breath of life 

that we all share. 

Try it now, 

just let out a good 

'H a'

Today as is normal

Honolulu's air 

is sweet and delectable,

not too humid, 

not too dry.

Clean, sweet, breezes

 scented with perfumed people,

blossoms, restaurants, 

bakeries, and the sea.

Of course traffic

smells like traffic

anywhere.

This is Feel Good weather.

Hope YOU feel good too!
