It was cloudy and wet much of yesterday, although the sun came out by mid-afternoon, at least in our part of the island. Wet weather is forecast to continue through Friday. We’ll see. We do need the rain, as it has been a dry beginning of the year. But we declared a “rain day” and skipped our walk Thursday morning, which we really don’t like to do. Hopefully today we’ll get watch the sunrise and see our canine friends.

I missed Delia Fabro-Miske’s sentencing as I waited for two plumbers to finish up a repair at our house. But Courthouse News Service reporter Jeremy Yurow was there and provided a valuable account. Here’s an excerpt. You should use to link to read Yurow’s full original account. She (Fabro-Miske) appeared for sentencing at the federal courthouse in Honolulu accompanied by her defense attorneys, who had argued that their client was under the control of her powerful father-in-law.

I was just drinking my coffee this morning when I noticed that the cloudy, wet weather was creating wonderful rich light that accentuated the colors in the yard. So I grabbed a camera and headed outside! I think it was worth it. Discover more from i L i n d Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.

HaoBorn May 8, 2007Died April 10, 2025He was a very, very good dog, and lived a very, very long life. Hao was one of the first Kahala dogs we met after moving into town from Kaaawa and continuing our regular early morning walks to the beach at sunrise. And this is one of the first photos I have of him, taken in January 2016. Hao loved the water, and love to hunt for fish, although he rarely caught one.

My dad never talked much about his life as a young man, and a lot of what little I know came from snooping through his personal papers during the nearly two years he confined in a nursing home before his death. I spent an hour or two Sunday afternoon browing Newspapers.com for more information, and found bits and pieces that help answer at least a couple of my questions. Nothing big, but little things that fill out my picture of this time in his life.

I picked up my new 15″ M4 MacBook Air at the Kahala Apple Store yesterday afternoon. It had arrived a week earlier than expected. I ordered it amidst all the China tariff turmoil, putting to an end a long year of procrastination. Both the prospect of future price increases, and the stable trade-in value of the computer I’ve been using for the past 4 years, provided just enough of a boost to overcome my consumer hesitation.
