Here's hoping they stay in the Arctic tundra for the next 4 days. Tropical Storm Walaka could potentially wreck havoc on the juvenile Pacific golden plovers that's migrating over the Pacific Ocean for the first time. The storm is generating sustainable winds…

Again. Reporters asked Senator Mazie Hirono if having women on the Senate Judiciary Committee will improve how the allegation against a Supreme Court nominee is handled. Here's a video of her reply: "Guess who's perpetuating all of these kinds of actions?…

Don't count on the HSTA to do the right thing. Up to five school days was canceled in Hawaii (depending on the island) in the first quarter of the 2018-19 school year due to two tropical cyclones. The reality is the first quarter ends in about three and a…

We're days away from relief. Hawaii continues to endure extreme levels of humidity that former Hurricane Lane has left behind. Relief isn't coming until Friday. The relative humidity in my home this past Saturday was 80 percent while the temperature was 80…

Your tax dollars are not hard at work. The government in general is plagued with unionized workers who whines like a baby whenever they're asked to do something that's not in their job description. It's a challenge to be a supervisor for those selfish…

A hurricane delays my shipment. A movie that I had ordered was shipped via USPS Media Mail on July 30. I was expecting to receive that movie close to August 27, but to my surprise, it reached the distribution center on August 23. The irony is the USPS…
