USA TODAY AND THE HIGH COST OF BEEF?

Posted on 20:54 by Unknown

For the past year now I've been a daily subscriber of USA Today. Why, I'm not sure, for the information is redundant. I most enjoy reading it when traveling internationally. Our "National Newspaper" is approaching a third of a century old, having been first published/founded by Gannett/Al Neuharth. It is the widest circulated print newspaper in the Nation. How many of you noticed that the original logo (left)...

MUGA took me over 51 days, 35,354 miles to six countries. Yes, my carbon footprints were embarrassing. Hokulea (below, left) and Hikianalia (right, sorry, but I've chosen not to add...

Posted on 09:26 by Unknown

Chef Chai Chaowasaree has had a remarkable career. He appears all the time on television: Dining Out with Chef Chai and Passport Hawaii. He is executive chef for Hawaiian Airlines and designed meals with Master Sommelier Chuck Furuya pairing the wines. In the 1990's he was one step away from being deported back to Thailand, but got a last-minute reprieve. How's this for a bio? He has worked for Hawaii's governor,...

WHAT TO DO ON MEMORIAL DAY

Posted on 11:54 by Unknown

I've posted on the meaning of Memorial Day on several occasions, and today will again walk up to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (NMCP) inside Punchbowl (looks like Diamond Head, and is close to my apartment):Perhaps a mile away, but by the time I get there and back, sometimes, creatively, I'll probably walk five miles. Before starting my journey, my views towards downtown Honolulu and below that towards the airport:This...
