I stopped by Kaiser the other day and they decided that they want to run some tests. I had a blood test today and they are scheduling an MRI. To have an MRI, Kaiser will buy me a plane ticket to Oahu (a few islands away).
Wednesday I was heating a bagel at work and the microwave caught fire. Seems the person who had problems with it on Tuesday didn’t unplug it. It is a good thing I was standing in front of it, because the smoke was horrible and we might have had a fire.
Wheel of Fortune has wrapped up their taping. The shows should be broadcast in January I think. It will give our island a bit of a bump in tourism!
The other day they had a funnel cloud on Oahu. When they touch ground they become a tornado.
On the way home, an Ambulance passed by and again everyone on the road pulled over. Cool, because that doesn’t seem to happen other places as smoothly.
At work I tell visitors not to walk into the water in front of our resort. A guy came in Wednesday and said “Remember when you told us not to go in the water here? Well my wife did it anyway and now is picking sea urchin spines out of her foot”. I tell people and they hear me, but they don’t get it. It is like a wet paint sign that people just ignore.
I did some shopping for sandwich stuff so I can make lunch and snacks for tomorrow. I will be at the polling place at 5:00 or so to help set up. I will man the ballot box at the Painted Church. I’ll be working until about 7pm!
A little while ago we had an earthquake over my the volcano. I’m at least 45 miles away as the crow files but still felt the 4.2. It shook the house for a couple seconds, but was not enough to get me to leave. besides, it was pouring down rain outside at the time.

Aloha for now!
