About Hawaii kids going away to play football at a mainland school, I think, allows them their freedom. This is a given. But it also allows them to escape being under the microscope, where they are continuously being judged (if they opted for UH) by their relatives, peers and even the media. For the Hawaii athletes opting for a mainland school filtering out this scrutiny relieves them of a little pressure. I think current UH athletes from Hawaii would tell you there’s a huge weight on their shoulders to do well here.

Missed the H-3 accident, but had gone that way about 415 pm. Had noticed at that time there was a down pour of rain. If anyone travels this road note the slow moving vehicles, like the regular cement truck, or some heavy duty Marine vehicle, in the far right lane going about 30 mph (or sometimes less)..and then envision cars behind the slow moving vehicles merging into the fast lane. Not to say that this could have happened in the tunnel. But it’s possible, where the person in the SUV swerved and overturned to avoid hitting the car that crossed into the SUV lane, where the car crossing into the SUV lane could have been behind a slow moving vehicle. Does what I say make sense, too? I do know that cars, in general, drive faster than the posted speed limit on the H-3..a good majority do, and especially through the tunnel.

Kekoa,
cars are pushed to the shoulder of the the H3 Tunnel… There was plenty room for cars to U-Turn inside the tunnel. Right before 6pm the traffic started moving… Weirdly there was only the overturned SUV and a cop left… Just minutes earlier there was 2 firetrucks, 2 or 3 ambulances, and maybe 5-6 cop cars…. I don’t know how the heck an SUV overturned in the H3 during rush hour and no other car was involved… AMAZING….

Also about the same time at the bottom of the H3 (Honolulu bound) was a motorcycle accident, slowing down cars exiting the H3… What a mess.

two of our homegrown generals, Shinseki and Aguba, got forced retirements by the Bush Administration. Thank you generals, our country benefited from your service and loyalty to our country, and you brought pride to your family and our State.

Everyone…. please have a great holiday!
Our clan of families will do the yearly ritual…leaving in a few hours for
Ala Moana Beach to camp out until after the fireworks on Sat night.
The last time, our “young” men got caught with booze in da cups. What a
riot! But the officers were as nice as they could be. We usually take the same space each year… not far from the facilities.
See you later!

Liz, so sorry about your shoulder. Aging ain’t for us, huh!

The biggest reason why we should try not to attack recruits who choose a mainland school…some of them eventually decide to transfer to UH later on (David Veikune, etc.). I’d hate for a player to feel rejected by the local fans and cross UH off the list if he looks around for somewhere to transfer later.

liz bursitis in the shoulder is common from lack of activity, we all lose strength and muscle mass as we age and our joints start to hurt. spend less time traveling and more time doing yard work to strengthen your upper body.. lifting udon with your chopstick and spooning nabeyaki isn’t enough, need more intense sweating…
