There are many things to be thankful for on Kaua'i this time of year and I would like to lighten things up in a somewhat sardonic way and share what I am thankful for on our awesome cosmic island.
(This blog also ran as an opinion article on 11-24-11(Thanksgiving day) in the Kaua'i Garden Island News with the title, "Thankfulness..."

1- We have a Mayor that can sing and dance, which of course is a priority when deciding who to cast your vote for.
3-We have no Ferry service even though we are an island community in the middle of the Pacific. The airlines now have an monopoly on flying and it feels wonderful spending in excess of $160.00 on a round-trip to Oahu,(Approximately 60 miles one way) the approximate same price to fly cross country on the mainland with Southwest airlines special holiday fares.
4-We have time to relax waiting in traffic almost everyday therefore allowing us time to burn excess gas and catch up on texting and phone calls.
5- Last but not least on a serious note, the main thing we have to be thankful for is freedom of speech and locally on Kauai being able to express ourselves in Letters to the editor in The Garden Island News.
I believe everyday is Thanksgiving, but it's still nice to have a holiday to give thanks and give! May G-d, Darwin or whoever and whatever you believe in bless America and bring our country out of the worst recession in our remarkable nations history! Happy Thanksgiving.

Mahalos my bruddah, I am thankful that people actually read my blog! Tomorrow I am posting my Thanksgiving day blog, it is in my opinion the most powerful blog I have yet to publish, and hope everyone who reads it will share it, stay tuned.
Doug, how about a blog about the time you told your daughter that there is no Santa?
Dave, a seasonal blog in lieu of Christmas day is great!
via facebook;"Kimo, whaddaya mean there is no Santa?
Haven't you ever read the famous 1897 editorial in the (long since defunct) New York Sun, in which Francis Parcellus Church answers the letter from 8-year old Virginia O'Hanlon asking if there is a San...ta Claus?
It is the one with the famous line "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus."
"I have never told my daughter there is no Santa Claus!
Such a statement would not be true!
So sure, sounds like the "rest of the story" is in order, and I'll have to send you the account of what I did say to her when the question came up and what it led to...."
Yes, the rest of the story would be awesome! looking forward to it....
via facebook;""i would like to hear that story too cuz I still believe in Santa."
