My Mai Tai Chieftain

More action, more pictures, so bossy some of you readers are! What the hell Jimmy!

Big Island Traffic Jam

Well I could post a video of the corn growing but you might think it's a still photo.... I have to admit, things don't move as fast here as in the Bay Area where cars go zooming past you at 25 MPH in commute traffic (we only have 2-way roads after all), but let me see what I can come up with. I could tell you how I picked 2 bunches of bananas yesterday and 2 bunches more were ripe today so now I have a couple of dozen bananas and my peeps, who are reading this, are giving me NO HELP with recipes (I did skewer and freeze 2 dozen last night for future frozen chocolate covered bananas rolled in chopped Mac nut use)!

Last night I decided to have a Mai Tai and, in keeping with tradition, John did a chieftain chant for me... John Sr. would always do this as he prepared our cocktails when we vacationed together on Maui and we have continued this and thought of him when the occasion arises... thanks to John for being a good sport and allowing me to record this sacred ritual! I just hope he doesn't ever get it mixed up with his rain dance!
Also, instead of just telling me you want more, tell me more of what!!! You want pictures, stories, specifics??? What? I could tell you about the specifics; we don't get water accept what is caught by the roofs and put thru a filtration system into 3 huge storage tanks or about the care and feeding of cesspools (well, maybe not the feeding of them, yuck)! Tell me what you want to know folks! Oh, and maybe I'll get John to be a guest writer so you can get the "farmer's perspective", what do you think?
