The safety perimeter is set to keep her or him safe from us. UPDATE: The lump sunning itself is a monk seal; that’s about how I feel at the moment. After returning from the scrimmage at the Farmer’s Market and other shopping adventures, we stopped off for deli sandwiches at the place by Brennecke’s and brought them back to the condo to eat, drink, and watch whales. Yay!! Our whalefrenz are here! After that, David wanted to go for a long walk, and off we went with cameras. First back to Brennecke’s and the Poipu Beach area, and then back…

UPDATE: This is pretty typical of the stuff on offer at the Koloa Sunshine Market, which is held every Monday behind the baseball diamond at Knudsen Park. It starts at noon, but you have to be there at 11:45AM SHARP to get your best spot at the starting line. Bring a 90-year-old person or a visibly pregnant woman to get “early boarding.” This stuff was sold as “Jakfruit” so that’s what it is. I have no idea what the hell you do with it.

Waiting for the Koloa Farmer’s Market to open. Gentlemen, start your wallets! UPDATE: Holy COW, these people are cutthroats! The farmers and gardeners line up at the far end of the access drive behind the baseball field, and display their wares off the back of trucks and on card tables set up by their cars. Some take the time to package and price their veggies and flowers, but the real draw are the gorgeous flowers – especially the ones that have already been arranged. That’s where the serious savings is to be had, because local florist shops charge premium prices…

UPDATE: The Waimea Canyon overlook. I just get a kick out of signs that have been improved with stickers. Also: DANGER! Ginny I can has iPhone? Via: Flickr Title: Waimea Danger! By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 15 Feb ’09, 5.53pm CST PST

Teri Burger and Teri Ono (fish) Sandwich: Ono (good) UPDATE: This sandwich was TEH AWSUM. I think the teriaki sauce was homemade. Mine was a teri burger, David had the ono (fish) teriaki. Both were ono grinds (good food). Ginny I can has iPhone? Via: Flickr Title: Ono Grinds in Hanapepe By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 15 Feb ’09, 3.48pm CST PST

UPDATE: Dawn from the lawn in front of our original condo at Poipu Shores; we moved later in the afternoon to a “second floor” unit that was actually the same level as the (lower) parking lot. Better view of the ocean, no vegetation screening the sea, and more privacy. Ginny I can has iPhone?

UPDATE: We had good seats in United’s “Economy Plus” section, only because we paid $69 each to “upgrade.” A further request for a REAL upgrade to First Class was shot down at the gate podium; it no longer matters to the airlines that travel agents are salesperson capable of steering business their way. Ah well, there are ways and ways to get what we want. More after our return trip. This flight was otherwise pleasant, with 3 movies (2 Southern black-white chick bonding movies, 1 Northern crazy white man demands justice movie). Ginny I can has iPhone? Via: Flickr Title:…
