Please Come Back Tako

We really got lucky finding these huge tako last time!  It’s tako season now so I’m craving to go back for more.  I hope they’re back in their little hole.  Please come back tako!

I don’t watch tv so I don’t subscribe to it.  But when Shohei Ohtani was playing in game 7 of the World Series, I couldn’t resist.  Because I don’t pay for tv, this is all I saw the entire game.  Imagine me screaming out of excitement watching the game like this.  Haha.

The waves finally came up in town.  It’s been really small for the past month so it was a treat to get some nice waves today.  Ogasawara-san enjoying the biggest day of 2026 year at Bowls.

Lots of waves and very clean.  It felt like it was still coming up so hopefully tomorrow will be bigger and better.

I passed through Ala Moana Shopping Center this afternoon and couldn’t believe how empty it was.  I didn’t see a single customer in Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Gucci.  All I saw was the staff looking their iPhones.  Is this the new normal?  I’m very concerned for our economy.
