Being in the ocean swimming, or on the ocean racing our sailboat is where I’m happiest. We’re a sr. couple who were recently adopted by a free-ranging calico cat that we adore, she is the queen of our property. Work for J.A. Schmit - Architect in Kaimuki.
A couple of shots from this morning, a study of palms against the clouds and the Sun peeking out over the horizon (this from our cottage).

Post Halloween mood.
She was SO excited, and got over stimulated, by watching the kids walk past our cottage last night and she’s catching some early Z’s at 0729 now.

Grabbed this off Insta, someone here in Hawaii posted this, this is where you can find me 4x/week @ 520am (moon or no moon) for my healing morning swim with other early risers!
The left side of the rocks is the "pond" where we all swim. Outside of the rocks is the many surf breaks at Ala Moana.

A quick video of our Hawaii State Capitol "NO DICTATORS" Protest on 10/18/2025, approximately 10,000 showed up, lining both sides of busy Beretaina Street with some very creative signs and there were lots of inflatable costumes!

At our local Honolulu protest at the Hawaii State Capitol yesterday, lots of costumes were seen!
We had approximately 10,000 people at the Capitol, 3000 more than the last large protest.
The momentum is gaining!

Posting to all my social media, this African Grey parrot was sitting on my dryer this morning, in Kaimuki.
I took it to the Haw’n. Humane Society where Off. Church checked it in. Bird is someone’s pet as it is tame and doesn’t bite.
Hoping to find the Owner by posting this.
