there are rules in hawaii but nobody seems to be following them. for example, you aren’t supposed to park for more than 6 hours in this parking lot. why? because it’s for surfers! but you get people that work all day in waikiki parking here everyday so us surfers can’t find a spot most of the times. there are signs posted everywhere but nobody cares.
so pulling up yesterday and seeing my tire marked brought joy to my eyes. it means they are trying to enforce the rules.
they chalk the tire, mark the time, come back 6 hours later and give tickets if the same car is still there. that’s cool, but i just better remember not to surf for more than 6 hours when the waves are good. haha.
when i went to my Grandpa’s funeral, i seen the military pull up. i was confused??? then they brought out the american flag and gave my Grandpa full honor. i had chicken skin.
then i found out right there that my Grandpa is a retired Army Veteran. omg! i didn’t even know that my Grandpa volunteered for the military during the war. yes, he volunteered while we were having the war!!! and he never told me about it. it’s his way of honoring the United States of America for his freedom.
i only see this kind of stuff on tv. now, i got to experience it because of my brave Grandpa Fukunaga. now i’m even more prouder of him! SALUTE!
