We had lunch at that pink palace over there last time we were at Waikiki.....checking out all the downtown Starbucks trying to hit them all on Oahu. There were a total of 33 at that time.

Bad Moon Risen'
I had to chain up today, and one of my chains came off and got wrapped up between my duallies.

So I wound up spending about 45 minutes lying on my back underneath the package car in a pile of slush trying to get that damn chain untangled, while melting snow dripped off of the bottom of the truck and down my back. Then I had to put it back on so that I could get out of the driveway I was stuck in. My hands were frozen into claws and every fiber of clothing I had on was soaking wet. There was so much snow on me that the seat absorbed it like a sponge. I wound up stripping down in the back of the car so that I could wring the water out of my uniform. I picked a hell of a day to wear shorts.

I can deal with cold wet hands and feet but when your ass is frozen and soaking wet by 10:00 AM its gonna make for a long day.

I am not sure about who took the pic( over or menotyou) but whoever did , did you notice how much larger the moon seemed with your eye than with the photograph? I know that there is a psychological effect in play when the moon is near the horizon, and that seems to be discussed in some scientific literature but it seems to me the moon seems larger to us than it actually is no matter where you see it.

Some planetariums bring this fact home when they depict actual size to scale models of the solar system . The moon always seems too small to the observers of these models. It is something that I have researched over the years and I have never really gotten satisfactory answers and those that have researched it more thoroughly and scientifically than I have admit that there are no scientifically proven answers to this as it seems to involve psychology and biology at the very least. Hence a lot of theories.

Sober......I often try to get the red/pink sunrises out my back door. It's usually looking through the pine trees. They are so vibrant and the camera never seems to capture what I see.

It's usually best when there's some bad weather predicted that day....you know, "red in the morning" ? I'll be seeing the sun rise here shortly and then off to Pala (Indian casino) for the day.

​At our PCM yesterday our center manager was pissed. Someone has ruined 2 seats by pouring something on them. They had to be replaced. He threatened to fire anyone who is caught doing this. And rightly so........................

Hawaii was part of my district when I was in charge of air operation compliance... I couldn't stand going to Maui and auditing the airport especially in February or March.
