they were supposed to build a super nice building with restaurants and stuff on the ala wai. and once again, the plan fell through. it will be an empty dusty lot for a while more.

on monday in the broad daylight, a mother was sitting in her car waiting for her son to finish soccer practice. a man opened her passenger door, held a gun to her, and said “drive!” he took her jewelry and purse and got out later. and this was at kapiolani park in the day!!! are you kidding?

the guy uses her credit card trying to get money out of the atm machine. a camera caught this image and it won’t be long until he gets caught on this small island. i still can’t believe it happened in the day at kapiolani park. hawaii is getting freaking crazy dangerous.

i was out at bowls today and thought i’d share something with you. coral bleaching! i have never ever seen coral bleaching at bowls before. it’s been popping up the past week and i know this because i’m always looking at the reef. the warm el nino water killing our reefs. the sad part it it will take over 10 years for it to grow back. and the more sadder part is the water is still super warm so more coral bleaching in the weeks to come.

if you take a piece of reef and throw it into clorox, it kills it and turns white like this. looks super cool, but the poor reefs are dying slowly.

closer look. next time you go surfing out ala moana, take a good look under you and you will see what i’m talking about.
