Simulated Funfire
I guess street signs like this don’t faze residents who live near frequent Hawaii Five-O filming sites.
So it’s not surprising when I drove by and saw (real) police monitoring as set workers walked around with pistols.

BAIT in Hawaii
Didn’t even know BAIT was considering coming to Hawaii, but the apparel and footwear retailer is open on Oahu. I haven’t been there and don’t know the parking situation, but they are at 1500 S. King St.
Bonus – they have the Yeezy Wave Runners available (for now).
Ross Windward Mall…Almost
The forthcoming Ross location in Windward Mall, Kaneohe is seemingly almost ready to go. The signage is up, and the receiving area in the back is ready.
Once open, this location will complete the Thanos-like collection of Infinity Gems aka Ross Stores in the major Oahu shopping venues of:
Pearlridge- Waikiki
- Ward
- Kahala
- Ala Moana
- Windward Mall
From Lane to Lovesick
Fortunately for those on Oahu, Hurricane Lane spared this island from significant harm. But what Lane did provide was extra time. After preparing for the worst, what’s one to do? Watch Netflix is what, and that’s where Lovesick comes in.
A great three-season romantic comedy about the lives of Dylan, Evie, and Luke, oh and chlamydia. This show about love is simply great and the episodes just go by too easily. One season done then two and finally the third is binged.
You gotta watch then hope for a fourth season.
AT&T Assistance During Hurricane Lane
Got this text message from AT&T informing customers that the company is not charging overage fees for impacted areas of Hawaii.
According to att.com/hurricanelane, AT&T mobile customers have access to unlimited talk, text, and data from August 24-28. This applies to all AT&T wireless customers with billing addresses in the state of Hawaii.
Thanks AT&T! And I gotta say their Disaster Preparation page is very informative letting customers know what actions AT&T has taken and what customers can do for themselves. I just hope AT&T won’t have to activate their National Disaster Recovery program for us.
No Trash Pickup Due to Lane
J
ust had to double check, but yes, regularly scheduled trash pickup for today (Friday) has been cancelled due to Hurricane Lane. The Opala web site provides more details.
The challenge is dealing with one more week of trash while waiting a week until the next pickup.
Mamba Day and Hurricane Lane
Wait… Just when is Mamba Day? Supposedly it’s tomorrow, Friday, August 24 that marks the release of the new Kobe A.D. But then again, the Internet says Mamba Day is April 13 (the date of Kobe’s last game).
In any case, the Kobe A.D. release will probably coincide with the Oahu landfall of Hurricane Lane. While I personally like this new design and all the potential color combinations possible with the shoe’s components, I’ll have to pass (for now).
But if I try them on and they actually fit well then I may have found my next badminton court shoes.
Hit Up Safeway for Your Lane Necessities
We hit up Safeway this morning for last minute necessities.
Still had water
Who knew peaches were a hurricane staple?
Besides the peaches will go bad so how about food that will last longer? Like these cotton candy Twinkies?
Or these Cookie Monster cookies?
If water is not your thing, there’s always wine in a can.
Hey, just trying to bring some levity during this waiting time…
A Lane Precaution
For precautionary measures, we’re emptying out our refrigerator of non-essentials to hopefully maximize the coldness if when a power failure should occur.
So this root beer float frees up space in both the refrigerator and the freezer!
And don’t worry about refrigerating the leftovers from Round Table pizza – there won’t be any.
Whole Foods Kailua Ready for Lane
Preparations for the oncoming Hurricane Lane continue, but it looks like Whole Foods in Kailua is ready. Boarded up windows and sandbags are in place, and they’re still open for the time being.
Remembering Pizza Hut Pearl City
If memory serves me, this building was once a Pizza Hut in Pearl City off of Kamehameha Highway.
