So...I handicapped the first 5 races today...and of the entire 5, I only eliminated 2 hosses...that could win...as I only bet winners...well, try to find the winners, and not those who may come in 2nd or 3rd...as part of the exotics...!...to say that it is very hard to do this, is right on...used to be, I would wager on trifectas...not in this world...figure if I can hit a couple of races, I should cash...yea, depends on how much I put on 'em...BTW, the 2nd BC race today has an Ireland shipper, named Marsha ...really...guess what I am betting on?...

This trip to Maui had it's moments...the initial hit of a thousand lightning strikes , was a shock...and then, the entire island went out of power ...some said it was like 50 years since that had happened...it all changed in a couple of days...and normalcy prevailed...what a place!... It did seem that there were more people there than in the past ...however, at the airport, everything went quicker than ever...BTW, they are remodeling their ancient one ...much needed...odd, though, as the traffic was much more congested...not figuring it out...could be that there is but one road in and out of Kaanapali ...

Hey kids, it’s like normal here on the Islands...80’s and gorgeous.   Last night was the dinner cruise on the Maui Princess.  The water was like glass, and the food was great.   And, the best.   We saw a whale frolicking about!   Just good stuff... Off we go to Paia for a look back to the 60’s...today...and the best fish house in the world...er, restaurant...Mama’s... So...the blog title today...We came in from s snorkeling session from Napili...and Marsh took off her cap...I slippped out of my flip flops...and then I bellowed out, “Rooster Cogburn!”... We started laughing and were dumbfounded...why?...I haven’t seen the flick in like 30 years...what prompted this?... Marsh thinks it could be age and perhaps, senility...hmmm.... Let’s just say for the past couple of days, we have been saying this, often....Rooster... Is this Russian and Trump collusion real?... Cluck cluck Aloha...
