Well, some of you may have seen me talking about being sick. That is true. Here’s the damage:
Acute Sinusitis
Acute Asthmatic Bronchitis
Acute Laryngitis
This is probably why I am late posting tonight. I also haven’t been sleeping very much.
Anyway, on to the show. Tonight we visit the 50th state, Hawaii. I was last in Hawaii almost 4 years ago. I won’t tell the whole story here tonight, because it is is an odyssey all on it’s own. My cousin, whom I have know all my life, and who has been a millionaire twice over, is a true piece of work. He asked me if I would come with him to Hawaii for several weeks, and to Anchorage for several more weeks. I used to live in Alaska, and he wanted my help (but not really) on operating his roofing business more efficiently. he is also a long-distance bicycle rider. So I was to be the ‘chase car’, among other things (including psychiatrist).
These photos are from that trip in March and April of 2004, a few months after I started blogging in earnest and joined the giant orange psych ward.
I shouldn’t be too hard on people, but I honestly believe that if most of the ‘advocates’ went out and worked the streets and towns, they would know the difference between a blog and a Democratic Committee.
The photo at left is on the highway from Lahaina to Kihei. I am a compulsive vacation picture taker, the winner of all time in 200 , when Lisa and I took over 7,000 digital photos on our trip from Virginia to California to pick up the last of my belongings.
The next few pictures are from the Baldwin Sugar Museum, across the street from the cane processing plant. It was interesting, and also kind of like looking at a dying industry. I especially loved the ancient equipment on display.
