In the news, shenanigans in local politics, bird flu precautions at the airport, the meaning of the word “Hawaiian,” and weird habits of tourists.

We have this bottle of sauerkraut in the fridge, and when I told my wife what you said that saurekraut is the “Haole cousin to Kimchee,” she just cracked up, and said that in some odd oblique way, she feels a little more connected to Hawaii.
