{{{Tig}}} Tsk, oh no! What's Tim going to do without his duffle bag? I have a checklist for Mike too, especially when he leaves on long trips. He's leaving for a 9 day working trip to Texas tomorrow night. They are moving their Austin plant south towards Houston. Deadline is Sept 1st. He's been on the phone/laptop constantly in preparation for this move.... I'll be glad when it's done. He's been grumpy for a few days. I hope Tim can enjoy his trip inspite of a couple of glitches. How is Tom?
Phyl, thank you for anniversary wishes.
. Thank you for posting about Hawaii statehood. I will always remember the endless days of fireworks and celebration! Though now as an adult I can look back at what lead to our statehood, and understand the pros and cons against it. The anger expressed at the overthrow of our last Queen. Even now, after Lahaina fires I'm not happy about learning that Larry Ellison owns 98% of Lanai, 98% of Lanai!!! Zuckerberg owns 1600 acres of Kauai and continues to buy more land from descendants, Oprah owns over 500 on the Lahaina side of Maui and looking for more, Bezos also owns 100+ acres on Maui and wants more... no words can express my anger and hurt at it all right now. So I keep my own counsel and will say no more. EDITED: I should add the island of Niihau is privately owned by the Robinson family since the 1800s "Elizabeth McHutchison Sinclair (1800–1892) purchased Niʻihau and parts of Kauaʻi from Kamehameha V in 1864 for US$10,000 (equivalent to about $190,000 in 2022) in gold."
