My wife is from Kauai and her cousin is one of those who is allowed to harvest the salt.
We visited in 2021 and she gave us 2 gallons of that stuff.

If not for my wife's poor health, I would have moved to the Philipines already.  A friend of mine who grew up in Vietnam and regularly goes back to visit said you could live really well in any SE Asian country on $2800 USD a month.  I like the Philipines because a lot of people speak English.  No tax on tips not going to help my dsughter much.  She makes about $150k as a server at the Hilton.

My friend who lives in the red tsunami zone in Kailua did not evacuate. His wife was in a panic so he loaded the car with important papers and valuables and sent her to a friend's house up the hill.

He stayed home and watched the news.  He figured if he saw a big wave hit Kauai which is about 103 miles from Oahu, he could jump on his bicycle and in 7 minutes be in the safe zone.

Makes perfect sense when you think about it.  It will take a wave traveling 500 mph a little over 10 minutes to get from Kauai to Oahu.

Shows there are a lot of foolish people out there.

Eh, main ting we no stay last place.

QS,
You set a good example for your kids. 


His parents also owned a townhome at Hampton Court but I think he said it was only 2 bedrooms and sort of small.

I guess he wanted to buy his “forever” home on the first crack instead of “upgrading” like a lot of us.

He also owns a studio in one of the newer condos right across the street from Ala Moana SC….im guessing it costed like 300-400k.  I think he now brown bags lunch everyday vs eating out like he used too

I don’t want a big house after living in a 3671 sq ft house.  More area to  keep clean.

My dream home would be something like 1000 sq ft with a big kitchen and 2bed/2bath

attached to a 4000-6000 sq ft warehouse with 16 ft high ceiling.

If I left a firearm loaded and unlocked in my garage, and a kid wanders in, do you think there would be no criminal elements for my mistake if the kid commits a crime with it -- like pointing it at police?

The Prosecutor will just say, “No charges. Everyone makes mistakes.  Flapp is a good boy.”

Then you will get a call from HPD asking if you want to pick up your firearm or have it delivered.

If zoned ag, can shoot as long as bullet doesn’t go out of your property.  Where I live in Puna, neighbors don’t care and gunshots are common.

I don’t shoot firearms for target practice anymore.  I only shoot live things, pigs and other feral animals that I don’t want on my property.

For SD practice, since my SD pistol is a Glock 19, I use a Umarex G19 clone, that uses CO2 and cheap BBs.

I would disagree.  each dog gets a handler.  So 1 dog, 1 cop.  So u still gotta hire more officers.  Unless you have multiple dogs released, but IDK if that is possible and keep their obedience.

You misunderstood what I said, which was it often takes 2 or 3 cops to take an uncooperative person into custody, but 1 cop and one dog and the person becomes very cooperative.

So instead of hiring more cops, have the cops already on duty get a K9 partner instead of a human.  You don’t pay dogs a salary, give them vacation time, retirement pension, car allowance etc.

Guys who like make big body tarun tarun to a human officer not going do that to a growling K9 officer unless they looking to get a very painful dog bite.

Take the Nuuanu case where 3 cops couldn’t apprehend that big black guy and he was beating the crap out of them till they used deadly force.  That guy would have had his hands full fighting a trained police dog.

With the cost of hollow point ammo, I won't shoot an unarmed person who is fleeing.

I'll just let my Rottweilers chase him and play with him for awhile.
