If you suffer from...

 Mysophobia (fear of dirt/mud) don't try to slip/slide to Alaka'i Swamp. 

However if you can handle the primordial ooze, it's worth the effort. See the photos! 

I scored a rare day when Mother Nature didn't moisturize the rain forest. This doesn't happen often. 

The fickle God of weather is making up for it today. Rain, wind and clouds. Still beats White Death. 

Good day to launder the gunk off of my clothes. Kapaa sports a 24 hour laundromat. This ought to be an interesting experience.  

Aloha Y'all,

PS. Those are authentic swamp flowers. 

I mean absolutely no disrespect to...

my many Christian friends, (and May God Bless all of you) but I have to blog this.

What would Jesus think of Rosa's holiday spirit?

I'm not sure if weapons are the gift that keeps on giving.

Here's to a safe Christmas for all.

And the winners of the...

Notice anything different Kwanhanumas holiday contest are:

Pam S.

"Wait, wait...don't tell me. Someone guessing your age correctly so you got rid of the mustache to look 20 years younger?"

(Pam's is my favorite!)

Sal B.

"Three observations - I'll go with #2:

 1.  You're drinking a Miller Lite, and therefore embarrassed to show the label.

 2.  The Wooly Bear Caterpillar that had been camped out on your upper lip finally turned into a Tiger moth.

 3.  You've started adding home furnishing inside Barley."

And lastly from Lisa P.

"Got Milk?"

These lucky winners will one day reap their awards for participating. Ain't this easier than the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes?

Speaking of self publishing. I sold a copy of Destroying Demons on the Diagonal. That will help defray the costs of three Happy Hours and dinners. (One beers worth of sales).

Good morning from Kapaa,

Jeff
