"Special delivery..."

The county provides through the Kauai humane society free plastic bags at approximates 6 locations along the pedestrian trail, these PLASTC BAGS are free and are for filling up with dog feces.

How can the county ban plastic bags for food items but allow them to be given away for free and filled with dog excrement?

I guess it's OK to use plastic bags after your dog has a bowel movement but not OK to use plastic for food items. We are protecting number two,(poop) when we should be protecting number one (ourselves) from a hypocritical law

I have an idea, next time you fill one of the those plastic bags with your dogs business, send it special delivery to your favorite politician with a note that says, just thinking of you, mahalo for all you do! "Not."

"My dog bought me dinner..."

My dog brought me dinner....My best friend bought me dinner....

There is a publication on Kauai that comes out in the middle of the week, it's appropriately titled, "Midweek."

Midweek recently ran a restaurant review on a local Mexican restaurant called 'Verde'. Their food is new Mexican style  fused with a touch of Hawaiian and Asian cuisine.

I had never been to the restaurant but was inspired to go for two reasons, the review made the food sound mouth watering and ono plus the owners were offering a $20.00 credit to any order if you could show you recently adopted an animal from the local animal shelter by showing your receipt.

I went in and was greeted by a smiling server and asked if my receipt was good since it was almost two years since I had adopted my four legged companion, 'Obama." She went back and asked sou chef Jason if my receipt was valid, he smiled and said YES!

He recommended the Ahi tacos along with a side of Sopaipillas with honey on the side. Sopaipillas are a pastry normally made with lard, he changed the recipe to not include lard. I ordered both to go.

When I got home I was in for a surprise, This was the best Mexican food I have had in years.  I admit it being free had a lot to do with it.

The real test will be when I return and have to pay for my meal, if it tastes anything thing as good as the first I will be coming back time after time!

"Our politicians need to cut their own outrages salaries.."

Protesters of project Head start demonstrated in front of the Kapa'a public library on wednesday 02-08-11.

The new Abercrombie administration which promised no tax cuts or furloughs is cutting funding for the much needed youth program of project head start.

Our politicians need to cut their own outrages salary before cutting educational funds.

"The news not reported in the paper..."Costco Fire..."

Lihu'e fire department responded to a fire and smoke inside Costco Kaua'i Lihue, the store was evacuated around 1:00 P.M. on Monday 02-07-11 for approximately two hours as firefighters extinguished a fire ignited in the freezer section of the store.

No injuries were reported and the store re-opened at approximate 3:00 P.M. after two hours of cleanup ad safety assurances.

The photo shows people anxiously awaiting to return to their shopping. To the disappointment of many,  the food sample personal had departed when the firemen arrived and never returned upon the re-opening.  ;D(

"Spiritual cleansing..."

Nothing feels better than swimming in the ocean el natural, there are many clothing optional beaches around the world.

Many people do not know this but some places in North America permit females to be top-free in public on an equal basis to males, Hawaii is one of those states.

It's a naturist type of nudity, people are not aroused just relaxing in their birthday suits. People are usually mellower when they are not wearing clothes, just doing things in the attire the lord gave us.

Jewish people as a ritual cleansing will take a "mikvah," where you submerge yourself in salt water naked to clean yourself spiritually.

Skinny dipping is a spiritual cleansing, for those protesting it, I dare you to try it. you may have a change of heart.!

"Everyone watches..."

The Superbowl was once a championship football game that the guys could enjoy without out all the hoopla of movie stars, musicians and anyone trying to make a buck.
A four hour pregame show,an interview with the president and two weeks worth of commercialism

Everyone watches, women who know nothing of football,  many not even knowing what a first down, or safety is. This means the guys watching having to explain simple concepts to them so they don't feel left out.

I prefer a regular season game, when the woman are complaining that their men are sitting on their asses and there are 15 games on any given week.

This is the biggest game of the season and it's not the time to be explaining things to the ones who watch but once a year.

May I recommend start watching early in the season.  Maybe next year we can start watching the game undisturbed and in  peace.  Guess I'm dreaming, but at least blogging at half time allows me to not have to explain to my guests what a touchdown is.

P.S.- Superbowl seat  true story...  ;D)

"A woman had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl. As she sat down, a man came along and asked her if anyone is sitting in the seat next to her.

"No," she said, "the seat is empty."

"This is incredible," said the man. "Who in their right mind would  have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the world, and not use it?" Somberly, the woman says, "Well... the seat actually belongs to me. I  was supposed to come here with my husband, but he passed away. This is the first Super Bowl we have not been to together since we got married in 1967."

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that, that's terrible. But couldn't you find  someone else - a friend or relative or even a neighbor to take the seat?" The woman shakes her head, "No, they're all at the funeral."

"Be Vigilant...."

I happened to be in Kapa'a town three minutes after a Kapa'a man was stabbed.

I am therefore posting this to inform the people of Kaua'i and around the world that a stabbing did happen in our quaint quiet community that some call "Paradise." December had a cold blooded murder that has had a terrible impact on the tourism market and now a stabbing that everyone wants to keep quiet.

Kapa'a man 'Justin Freemon' was stabbed with a knife in front of Steak burgers in the Kojima Plaza in Kapa'a town around 2:30 P.M. Thursday 02-03-11. The assailant took off on bike going northbound. The victim said he knew his assailant. As of my blog time the assailant is still on the loose.

The authorities are keeping things quiet,if I had not been there to record the incident the paper never would had reported it, when I called the police and county for follow up, no calls were returned.  People beware there is a dangerous person out on the streets with a weapon, be vigilant.
