THERE'S A BAD MOON ON THE RISE

FULL MOON MADNESS

All the signs pointed to a good shift.

The Shops at Wailea had more people than I had ever seen.

The weather was dry and the temperature was 75f/24c. A very light breeze.

A full moon was rising.

It was so slow that the usual "die hard" day drivers didn't even stay late, trying to earn that extra dollar.

By 2:00am, I had only had 6 runs. Normally I have 15-20.

The most fun run of the night was at "bar close". Two young ladies from Danville, CA, USA. A town, now city, that I patrolled a long time ago.

Their names are Natalie and Monica

GAS PRICES

Still on the rise

==============================================
DIE HARD

I worked until almost 8:00am.

We had 4 cabs scheduled to be on-duty by 6:00am, but we had 4 scheduled runs between 6:15am and 6:45am. That would mean no coverage for all those unscheduled walkouts that want to go golfing, etc.

Picked up the 6:15am run from the Mau'i Coast to OGG. It was my biggest $$$ run of the night.

The sunrise caught me as I was leaving Kahului.

==============================================
MOONSET

Yesterday, the 13th, was the "full moon" and the moonset was gorgeous.

==============================================
"wanna take a ride?"

This video was made on my ride home from OGG. It starts just before I enter Wailea and takes you to THE GRAND.

Later.....

Well done Wil, that was a great video. It's so lush there and brought back memories of driving up to the North Shore years ago.

Those two girls, a wonderful image begging for an accompanying story. Get that interview technique going mate, they looked like interesting subjects. Or maybe time didn't allow for an in-depth.
