near my house, there is a nice banana tree hanging over the sidewalk. when i parked my car there, i told Koguma-san “these bananas will probably get stolen before the owner can pick them.”

thank you Koguma-san for the photos. seeing this makes me really appreciate my job. i just love sharing the beauty of hawaii that you won’t find in any guidebooks. it’s like living the local style for the moment that changes every single day. yes, everyday in my world is different. one day you will be surfing with a duck, and another day you will be dodging a tiger shark. as for tomorrow, nobody knows?
