cool to see Takahashi-san back in Hokkaido. it’s snowing and i’m hoping to go visit him in January for some powder snow! 
had a great time this morning with Takahashi-san. she is a good surfer and it was her first time surfing in Hawaii. so yeah, she caught 20 longest rides of her life! haha. the waves were good and so was her surfing! 
that guy on the left is in jail because he shot a 16 year old kid to death. the kid on the right is the dead kids friend. they are in court telling their side of the story. the story is that kids friend went into the guys house to burglarize it. the man chased them away and the kids came back a few hours later. this time, the man got out his gun and shot at them. one of the kids died. it’s a huge controversy here in Hawaii now because the laws protect the thieves. what ever the judge decides, it will change everything. because if the man is found innocent, a lot more people will start shooting people that break into their houses. and if man if found guilty, more and more kids will start burglarizing houses all over Hawaii. so yeah, when this trial is over, things are going to get crazy here in Hawaii. stay tuned…
