Not sure if you saw the news, but Lahaina Maui has been wiped out. Founded by Captain James Cook in 1778, it has been the Capitol of Hawaii, a whaling town with over 400 ships in the bay and a tourist destination for years. We’ve spent a lot of time there and always enjoyed out time. Hard to believe the entire town, businesses, houses, and everything else is gone. It’ll take decades to rebuild. Luckily James house down in Olowalu is ok as of now. He texted me some pictures from there yesterday that I think his caretaker had taken. My friend Jeffrey is on the other side of the island and is ok but his kid had to evacuate his house over in Keahi. It’s been a rough year weather wise, everywhere. Fire is one thing that is hard to prepare for. Up here, we practice fire mitigation by removing brush and dead trees as much as we can. Most of all, people need to be smart as most are caused by man. Prayers for the people on Maui.
Jag has two more days of class and then is done. Of course, we received his tuition bill today as it just wouldn’t be nice to give us even a few days break from paying, ha. Dixie is doing well! She keeps plugging along, just like the Energizer Bunny from the battery commercial.
Lori is working from home today and I have a call at 10. This afternoon we’re all getting together at cigar night to take a picture as we’re all making a video montage for James’ s birthday. It’ll be good to see everyone as it’s been over a month.
Did you know that the Grand Canyon is one of the 9 wonders of the World? Me neither but Ol Joe says so, so according to the Dems, it’s true! You see, everything he says is true, even when facts come out proving he’s been lying. Doesn’t matter though as according to them, he either never said what he said (on camera) or it’s just not true. Reminds me of the Eddie Murphy movie where his wife sees him coming out of a woman’s house and she says, “what are you doing coming out of her house” and he says, “wasn’t me”. She says I saw you but he sticks to his story and says, “wasn’t me”. After saying “wasn’t me” ten times or more, the wife finally says, “I’m so sorry, I guess it wasn’t you”. You see, if you repeat a lie long enough, people start believing it. Especially the liar that keeps saying it, he convinces himself what he’s saying is true. That’s Ol Joe. What a mess, think for yourself people!
Good luck and God Bless.
