Bust out the Allegra and Nasonex – the albizia trees are setting flower buds!

Waimalu, That’s Why

In Waimalu, if you drive into the wrong lane when approaching an intersection, you don’t have to stop at the stop sign, since it isn’t in your lane of traffic!

Hypocrite

Older female in a Saturn Ion fully wallpapered across the back bumper with anti-abortion stickers speeding (like freeway speeding) through the school zone by Royal Elementary School.  So aborting a fetus is murder but running down a grown child is perfectly fine?  F-wit!

Hiroki no Like!

There are three things (other than crossover K-pop bands) that will make me change the station when they come on KORL – Fukuyama Masaharu (sorry, Tarepanda-hi!), Dreams Come True, and Kimaguren.  Of course it sucks equally when I change to a English-language station and get Jack Johnson or Bruno Mars!

No Lane Change for You!

Funny to see a confrontational, road-rage driver in a white Forester XT with a “coexist” religious tolerance bumper sticker!

Here We Go Again

Hm, there went HFD up the street…. Hm, lot’s more sirens….

Yup, sure enough there’s HFD Air 1.

Oh man, that sucks! Da boys are hiking in all the way to the top, and one’s rucking in a stretcher!

I dunno if he just wanted to carry it or what, just about when he reached the top Air 1 hooked up the stretcher it had dropped off on previous pass and pulled out the victim.

A few minutes later it came back with the barf bucket and pulled a second person off the mountain.

When it Rains it Pours

Forgot to post about this last week. Fire trucks went up the street and sure enough HFD1 was back out at the crater. This time saw them hovering here and drop something to the ground crew before they went and got the basket deployed.

Harinezumi no Koi

Is ELT aiming for a comeback?  Another of their tracks has made the Oricon rankings.  Again, Mochida’s voice is an octave above her traditional range back when they were big.  This latest “retro” track would be right at home in a 1980’s Miyazaki film.

Breaking the Dry Spell

Heard the HFD truck go up the street, had to think, could it be? It’s actually been a long time, but sure enough a couple minutes later heard the whine of HFD 1 flying in. The last time they came by was about a month ago at night but they flew past us. They were actually at Kamiloiki Park. my guess was either Mariners of Yoga Twins trail.

Anyway, today it was back to Koko Crater just before lunch.

‘Tard-ism

OK, I’ve seen something that looks more stupid than wearing one’s sunglasses on the back of the head like Guy Fieri – wearing one’s glasses across the front of the face immediately below the nose!  Granted, you either need glasses with extremely long temples, or have a receding lower face more chinless than Rowan Atkinson, or as in the case I witnessed, have the glasses canted crooked so one earpiece is above an ear, and the other just wedged against the opposite cheek!  It’s the ‘Tard version of friendly mutton chops.
