Mahalo.

'Nuff said; now show me some ID and that you have "sufficient means of support" for that bikini!

You weren't confusing me with some Politically Correct person were you?

For the record, here's the real P.E.T.A. Also, see here.

You do know that while dogs have masters, cats have servants!

BTW, when I was in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1992, from a street stall I bought a T-shirt that said the Russian equivalent of, "I was an agent of the KGB." Wikipedia says that KGB stands for "Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti, … Committee for State Security".

This Hawaii Administrative Rule governs certain actions regarding fishing with nets. I guess it means something to the locals, but I was worried that perhaps I'd inadvertently somehow lain my net incorrectly, and might end up spending years languishing in an Hawaiian prison especially during their severe winters!

There I was, minding my own business driving on a back road on Maui when I came across this sign. "Okay, I'm watching out, but what exactly am I watching out for?"

When was the last time you got birthday greetings written using bits of coral on a background of smooth lava pebbles?

So, smarty pants, which of the 50 US states has the British Union Jack on its state flag?

There are various stories about why this might have come about, but I think this part of the Hawaiian flag history remains a bit of a mystery.

BTW, Brit Captain James Cook did name the islands The Sandwich Islands after his sponsor, The Earl of Sandwich.

Ain't that the truth? A hand-made sign in I'ao Valley State Park.
