This year's Dinsmoor Regatta was the best yet. We had 48 kids on thirty-four boats divided into three classes.

There was some close racing between old hands and newbies. Everyone who trophied definitely deserved them.

When we moved to Maui fourteen years ago there was a nice little park along the coast I'd stop at when I was out biking. Today, the trees and picnic tables have been taken by the sea. This might explain why.

That's a great graphic. Much more intuitive to understand. Unfortunately, still not easy to share in a conversation or even in a tweet. :-)

Love xkcd. This article is not a rebuttal, but it does point out one thing that needs to be clear when considering this chart: Epic xkcd climate cartoon goes viral....

My wife and her buddy from Ohio are on a Ditch The Hubby's trip. First stop Seattle. One of their stops was a tour of the Chihuly Garden. Pretty neat stuff.

Who sez Hawaii is a sleepy backwater? We get cool freeway wrecks just like the rest of the country.
