We did. Headed to Santa Fe to meet up with relatives for Thanksgiving. I
was coming down with the flu already and seeing my relatives made it worse.
Stayed a few nights at the La Fonda, had Thanksgiving dinner at the Inn of
the Anasazi, plenty of breakfasts/lunches at Cafe Pasquale, and obligatory
margaritas (and dinner) at Maria's. A fun time, while I was in bed with a
101-degree fever in between margaritas and relative visitings. The train
ride back was horrible, even with the sushi prelude. Unlike the ride there,
they didn't upgrade us to the deluxe room, and our "roomette" was a very
uncomfortable closet. So much for Amtrak. I'd fly next time in a
heartbeat, but I hadn't taken the train in many years and thought it would
be "romantic". Romantics obviously never had the flu.

It works different in the Keys.

I fed this really hot drunk chick Sashimi with chop sticks and and she
jumped naked in a pool.

But I spent the night with Limey Dave, so I guess in the end it worked out
pretty much the same.

I hate all places with concentrated populations.

How elbow room you get on Hawaii?

The dez is a great place, especially when you get up in the mountains and
rock formations.

Ade and I sat through an amazing cloud burst/thunder storm north out of
Shiprock as we were coming down out of Utah and Arches National Park.

If memory serves, it is all part of the Great Basin.

Where's the Tidy Bowl Man when you need him?

Ahh, good old route 666. Can you believe that there are people who want to
rename that road. They consider it an affront to the religion. LOL What I
really loved about driving that route was that right there, just outside of
Farmington, where we would turn onto 666 when driving from ABQ to SLC, was
a Baptist Church. That used to just crack me up.



Oahu has a population of ~900,000. 750,000 of whom live in the Honolulu
metro area. You get to some of the outer islands, like Molokai'i, and the
population drops into the thousands.

The number comes from Rev:13:18;
"
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six."

Doesn't say anything about roads or buildings, credit card numbers or any
other nonsense.

But, apparently it was renamed.

Arent some of those islands off limits to Haoulies, or is that urban legend?

You ment "haole."

This is the only state in the nation where it is legal and even encouraged
to be a racists.

I've sat at dinner with very fine, well dressed folks who refer to me as a
"haole." They insist it is not a racist term. Just a description: like
asian-american or latino. As I leave that dinner and walk down the street
to my car, someone will drive by and scream: "you f*cking haole."

"HAOLE" IS A RACIST TERM! However, the racism is on your part! Now do
something about it!

Didja ever hear about "Kill a Haoie Day!"?

On the last day of school ... for decades .... the Haole kids were
roughed-up and worse!

It is the Code Red of Hawaii. Unspoken outside cause of how it would
effect tourism. About 60 years ago it also included the Japanese as
the target population.

After Pearl Harbor .... the Japanese took control of both State & City
Government. Almost like a secret deal was made on the battleship
Missouri after US dropped the bomb.

Kinda like ... sorry .... you can have Hawaii }^;

None of this effects the Groups topic ... still some of the Best Scuba
Diving on the Planet!

P.S. If you ever find out who kicked out that Dogs teeth and broke his
ribs .... Please Post ... would love to get the identity of abusers aka
bullies of animals or people known to one + all!

Anyone remember the movie "Star Chamber" (think it was called) with
Michael Douglas about Judges turned Vigalanties? Where do I sign-up?
Maybe I'll start a Group?
Why not ... Pat Robertson can advocate and solicit for Captiol Murder
on TV and not get a Federal Inditment!

I rather favor the Spike from "Angel" method of torture for those who
favor torture of others. Can never equal the pain they inflected on
others but at least give it a go!

No, all we could learn was that he was in jail for manufacture of meth and
for animal abuse.

To be honest I am glad they wont tell us.

I would be bound by duty and honor to go chain him, by the neck, to
something, feed him generic dog food once a week whether he needed it or
not, and kick his teeth out and ribs in.

Important thing is that Hansamu is all better now. In a home with people who
love him, good food and a nice bed to sleep in.
