Why Are Borders Restrooms So Filthy?
I have no idea why but it seems like the Hawaii Borders locations have the nastiest restrooms. They get cleaned and all, but the patrons just abuse these facilities. Ward, Waikele, and Aiea locations all have had serious issues with their restrooms from what I remember. I think the Windward Mall Borders has been okay so far.
Is there any correlation with Borders clientele and abused bathrooms?
Young Politicians at Baby Gap
With all the November elections and recent coverage of President Obama’s arrival in Hawaii, I couldn’t help but think of politicians when I saw this sizing chart at Baby Gap.

Fishing at Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden
Our first time fishing at the Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden. It’s catch-and-release fishing where you use barbless hooks. Fish are aplenty (and so are the mosquitoes), but you need to hike about 20 minutes to the fishing lake. Fun for kids and adults.
Amazon’s Best of 2010
Amazon.com complied its lists of Bestselling Products, Most Wished for Products, and Most Popular Gift Products for 2010. From a quick glance, it looks like there are only two items that are on all three lists – Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether and the WiFi Kindle.
And there are some funny differences in what’s wished for and what’s gifted, like people wish for music from Taylor Swift but are gifted Susan Boyle instead. You want the eBook of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but get George W. Bush. You want an Apple MacBook Pro 13-in but get a Toshiba Satellite 15-in laptop. Women want UGG short boots that range from $100-140 but are given Bearpaw Eva boots
