NEW PARADIGM

SLOW IS THE STANDARD

10 runs for less money that I was metering at this time last year, when the old (lower) meter rates were in effect.

Picked up a 4-some from Sarento's last night and took them to the Four Seansons. The older couple, mid-30's, had "near-teens". The younger couple, mid-20's, had a 4 & 6 years old. The younger mom made the comment that she totally knew her childrens personalities and could see how they would turn out as they grew up. This topic covered the entire 6 minute ride. When I dropped them off, I couldn't help it, I turned to the younger mom and told her that she wouldn't really know her kids, at all, until they reached puberty. And then she will probably wish she didn't know them at all. The older couple laughed and told her I was right. You could see her little brain trying to grasp this alien concept. I tried to ease her fretting by telling her that she shouldn't worry too much. Most grow out of it by 18. Most.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE THIS IS?

Thats what these two ladies, Anna & Jenny, asked when they handed me a piece of paper with two street names on it (Kaiwahine & Kaiolohia). I told them I new it well (Duh, I've only been there 1,000 times - minimum). So off we went from the "Triangle". Two totally lost young ladies from the Twin Cities area.

NEW VETTE

I don't know about you, but I am not real thrilled with it.

RAINBOWS

Even the First Hawaiian Bank uses a rainbow as their logo.

TREE ATTACK

This tree viciously assaulted a drunk in the FoodLand parking lot this morning. It was a close duel but the drunk managed to fight his way free and fled to the safety of Kalama Park.
