Taro bubble tea afternoon.

Beautiful wooden stage at Ka'ahumanu.

...and there she is, reigning over her shopping mall.

Music visit.

Old friend came to visit and play music.

Week I.

Long acronyms, these days.



French waiter.



Upcountry brunch haven.



Growing in the garden.

Guy with cat.

So this is not my cat - I'm just a guest in her house. She's 18 years old and knows what she likes and doesn't like, and licks the sauce out of her kibble without eating the meat.

She tolerates me pretty well. The second photo says it all.

On a rock in the middle of a vast expanse.

Gotta love being surrounded by the vast expanse.

But there are too many people on this planet, too much garbage we make, and too many people suffering from the circumstance of their birth. The world with humans may end, but better do something with the time one has.

Yeah.

Portlandia.

In search of the brown bottle with the white label that said "BEER", I found that Fred Meyer has upped the ante in the generic alcoholic beverage game.

One dollar movies, pizza, and beer as you watch.

Cerf.

Boys from Philly.

Fiddle Fingers, or something like that, at the Farmer's Market. A good place to empty your wallet.

Culture downtown. Downtown Culture.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Man.

The Schnitz.

Mecca for the Literate.

Head West, Middle-aged Man.

But first, you must say goodbye. Don't forget me while I'm out and about.

Out to where the trees grow, turkey buzzards and drones circle overhead.

 Grey sky, green fields and trees. Poison oak and blackberries having their field day in the fields.

Different World. Same big box stores, but here is space, young buildings and streets, and big nature.

But, more West to come. And completely different.

The band plays Asian Celebration Month, 5/19/18.

China and Russia, hmmm...

Feeling dubious to see China and Russia on the list of countries with viewers looking at this blog.

Hack attack?

That is not to say that the other countries that appear on the "stats" page are any less questionable, especially given that they may just be ricochet shots for any number of miscreants.

Who knows what is what, or who is who.

Good luck, guys. I hope you love your mothers more than your nations and your paychecks. I'm not a fan of nations.
