What’s life like in Honolulu?
If you like the changing of the seasons, you probably won’t want to live in Hawaii. Not everyone likes a tropical climate. If that be the case, stop reading, go into the garage, and enjoy inspecting your snow shovel blade and handle, or snow blower’s moving parts and lube schedule. Clearing the driveway makes for …
The Debt Ceiling-Inflation-and-Central Banks
While things like inflation seem to be unpredictable and labeled as a trailing indicator, one thing everyone seems to know off the bat–is that we’re all going into debt. Covid stimulus checks and staying home to avoid a commute to the office, saved us a lot of money. But two years later, what with the …

My Channel
What’s your dream job? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV2YwyNXSK0ozP73hWyNohw I wanted to be a television weatherman, a game show host, or have a comedy club–when I was young watching black and white television in the sixties. Google has made this possible whereby anyone can start their own YouTube channel. I remember how I yearned for a camcorder, but couldn’t …
Gold Wake Up Rally
The time to stack never closes, but the volumes of precious metals moving off of western exchanges is historically breathtaking.

Now is a good time to look at our ancestral line, or take a look at life with a wide-angle lens, juiced up with the buzz of strong new energy. My personal drug has been that of anticipation, and staying in my head in trying to get answers found in my heart. Striking beauty and …
Walks on Waikiki
I’m excited that my life is still full-on with new lessons and increased skills–realizing that becoming an old dog doesn’t mean I can’t learn new tricks. I see how patience can pay handsome dividends if I don’t demand an instant gratification of the greatest version of the grandest vision I choose to be. I’m actually …
Living on Oahu
Who do I envy? I’m green with envy for people living in San Francisco in a rent-controlled apartment. I gave up my rent-controlled apartment by Japantown and the Kabuki, of twenty-two years, to move away from the city. This was in February of 2021, about one year into the pandemic. The ability to go to …
Cyclists Today
Here I stand by the Twitter HQ where the 21 Hayes merges onto Market between Tenth and Ninth. Having a bike rider count of 1700 by 4 p.m. was an average good day here in December of 2014. I’ll be interested to take a peek at this counter next week and see what effect the …
