Three police cars just came tearing up through the neighborhood to come beat on our door with a flashlight to tell us to move our truck off the neighborhood street. Only three people live on this street right now. One lady lives at the top of the street and is super nice, if she had a problem she would have called. The other people are these wretched Oregonians that live across the street. Everyone else only lives here part-time and they are not here. The Oregonians have these awful dogs that bark all day and night. We are going to start reporting them each and every time those dogs bark.
Anyway, back to the story… The donut chaser, I mean cops, pulled up, and then the rude and nasty haole obese porker of a cop told us to move our car. I said, “Did someone complain?” I was very surprised as no one had said anything… So, I said, no problem, we will move it. Then he starts into this tirade about what happens if I don’t move the vehicle and this is while I am walking towards the car to move it!!! IDIOT. So, I get in the truck and they give me NO room to back up the vehicle so I had to pull it in at a weird angle and then that caused tons of trouble concerning the movement of the other vehicles, etc. At any rate, this follows yesterday’s story in the paper titled, “Crime down on the Big Island except Rape is Up 100%” so these donut chasers were over here in droves (probably the WHOLE Waimea department) for a stinking parking violation and most likely, somewhere in Waimea some woman was being raped or who knows what else.
I do not like this country, it is despicable and disgusting and the way it has imposed itself on the Kingdom of Hawai’i is horrific at best. With all the drug, rape, and family abuse problems this island has you would think they would find something better to do with their time then to come over here and be caustic and threatening to us. Jerks.
I have zero respect for authority, especially when so called authority figures have done nothing to earn my respect and only try to demand authority by being small and threatening others. That is just nasty and these officers are without aloha.

We live in the most expensive part of the island of Hawai’i and thus the food and gas prices are absurd. Last week, when we arrived we went to Foodland in the Parker Ranch center to buy some groceries to keep us until we could go to Costco in Kona. We paid $5.99 for a half gallon of soymilk, yes, you heard me right. We also saw that a small box of Cheerios were $6 but we did not waste our money. We only spent $47 that day but that is mostly because we looked at what was on sale and only bought that. So, today we had to go to Kona to check on my TB results (I passed, of course) and so we went to Costco. The gas is 21 cents cheaper at Costco compared to the cheapest gas in Waimea. After that, we shopped around Costco and bought 25 lbs of bread flour for $4.99 total, which is less than what we paid for 2 lbs of flour at Foodland. We also bought 25 lbs of rice, 10 lbs of pancake batter, 3 half gallons of soymilk for $6 total, a giant box of 50 granola bars, a giant box of cheerios (at least 4 times bigger than the one at Foodland and cost less too!), giant box of Newman’s blueberry cereal, giant tins of tomato sauce (gallon size) for less than $2 each(!) and we bought a ton of pasta and other random things. I think we came out at about $90. If we bought it all at Foodland we would have spent a billion dollars, I bet.
On the way home, we saw this guy on a moped driving along the side of the road in Kona (coming from Costco) with a case of beer and chicken in his basket. It was funny…
We also got some books today, a juicer, and a random aloha shirt at Sal’s Boutique (Salvation Army). My juicer cost $8 and it is in perfect condition. It is just like my old juicer that cost about $75-80.
And who said living in Hawaii is expensive? I suppose it is if you are dumb enough to shop primarily at the grocery store in Waimea, love to buy gas at the most expensive place in town, must drive a $50K car, live right on the beach in a multi-million dollar home, and buy all new stuff all the time and only at the mall.
Oh yeah, in other news, I got a job. I will be working for Easter Seals helping developmentally disabled adults… Yay!
Brian will be working at the University of Hawai’i and writing his book about Hawai’i.
