    Well known surfers Greg Noll, Titus Kinimaka and some young fellow hanging around with them back in 1999. Only slightly iconic, IMHO. Take care.

    Howzit? Just stumbled across this and realized I had the last name wrong when I told you about meeting William (Boy) Akana in January of 1982 when visiting Kauai. Had a great chat with him at the lookout above the bay on the Anini side. Really interesting man. I thought it was Akano when we...

    Happy Birthday George Soros...

    93 years old today but still a frightening existential threat to right-wingers everywhere, whereas Biden, 80 this year, is a senile, bumbling, incoherent puppet who couldn't find his way out of a room without assistance, apparently. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Cracks me up. "The Soros’s nonprofit...
