This was a normal day of golf for me today at the Ala Wai Golf Course. However, our team won, mostly because Kenji Sumida shot a net 59, maybe breaking his all-time record. Two of the losers were David and Tom:
They are sitting between a plate of pulled pork, one of the worst dishes we've had here yet:
Yet, somebody ate most of it. Only the two of them because Mino and Ron already left when Kenji and I joined Chang Hee Kim at the next table. Kim is a noted golfer and beer quaffer from Taegu, South Korea:
During the discussion David mentioned that either a friend or relative regularly ate chinese roast pork with scotch. He also said this person for his second meal had a plate of sashimi and lived to the age of 97. So on my way home I dropped by Duck Lee and picked up some crispy roast pork and ginger chicken, and will have them later tonight on my roof with three scotches, hopefully to help me live a longer life:
I eat sashimi all the time, so I've already made up for this meal.
Do svidaniya Kenji. He is on his way to Vladivostok to address a distinguished audience about the BLUE REVOLUTION! Here is Russky Island in the background:

Hurricane Henriette is now at 90 MPH, but will tomorrow become a Category 2 storm:
However, Henriette could well catch up and swallow Gil as they both head on a path that will take them sufficiently south of the Big Island that only high waves should be experienced on our south shores:
Henriette is on top of Gil. When hurricanes merge interesting things sometimes happen. And, of course, there is always the danger of a sudden turn north:
Hurricane Iniki in 1992 which had peak sustainable winds of 145 MPH, or Category 4. Many have already forgotten the previous Flossie, in 2007, when she attained Category 4 status at 140 MPH approaching south of the Big Island, but did not turn north:
The bottom line is that Hurricane Henriette should not affect the State of Hawaii much...but you never know.
