Vacation over, real work to begin - maybe.

Maui pictures to come. Dolphins later - cheapo "underwater" cameras have to get busted open, developed, and put on photo-CD.
It's cool in this fast-paced world to slow way-way down - fastest speed around 60mph, briefly. Honolua Bay, Wailea, & Ahi-hi Bay were the best snorkel spots. Possible hooker workin' Napili Bay. Black Rock was like a freakin' 14-year old's swimmin' hole with all the improbable hormones and spastic twitches of youth carried out by adults as well as kids.
C-ya.
Mmmm - Hinano beer = GOOD! They had it at Costco...

Open Season, Open Thread - since I'm not bloggin' much.. ;-)

Oh yeh - soon my Blogversary, or whatever it's called.

And soon it's a bloggcation-hiatus - like anybody would even notice the difference, enjoy your Summer!

Red Ensign Standard: Issue XXVII

The Red Ensign, issue number 27 has been hoisted by Shane over at The High Places, chronicling the adventures of our stalwart cousins in the Great White North, the vast and desolate Canuckasphere above 49th the parallel. Desolate except for an incredibly ravenous Governmental bureaucracy with astonishing proportions, appetites, and disharmonic inefficiencies.
Go check it out!

Go John, Go!

I easily echo the President's statement, "He is the right man for the job," Bush told reporters at the White House. "This post is too important to leave vacant any longer, especially during a war and a vital debate about U.N. reform."

Bolton said he was honored and humbled by the appointment. "It will be a distinct privilege to be an advocate for America's values and interests at the U.N. and, in the words of the U.N. charter, to help maintain international peace and security," he said.


The President said, "The United States Senate held thorough confirmation hearings and a majority of United States senators agree that he is the right man for the job. Yet, because of partisan delaying tactics by a handful of senators, John was unfairly denied the up-or-down vote that he deserves,".

Go John, go!!
