and even that isn’t guaranteed. my friend Kevin Kamakura parked his truck at ala moana beach park. went surfing for a little while and came in to see just this lock box on the ground. his truck was gone!!! welcome to new hawaii.

riding a boat and enjoying is the easy part. this is the behind the scenes part of the maintenance that has to be done to keep beautiful, beautiful.

i seen this article about people in argentina taking a wild baby dolphin out of the water and started to take selfies. unbelievably stupid!

and of course, the dolphin would die. unbelievably stupid. if i was there, i would have shot the people doing this with my speargun. so sad.
