It's the Eve!   Jay went golfing while I went to the beach this morning at 7:00AM to swim, with Jace, Jarrod, Noah and Kea.  I missed the sun rising out of the ocean, I arrived 10 minutes later than the rest of the family.  Did I mention how beautiful the sunrises and sunsets are with the Vog?  There is a south east front that is coming this way.  That means the volcano smoke is blown in from that direction from the big Island.  Many people are being treated for smoke inhalation and others cautioned.  Tonight, the family here will just sit inside their yard, and light up sparklers, etc., in other words, "legal" fireworks.  There are a lot of people here who disregard the laws about fireworks.  Pyrotechnics, is actually an Asian influence on our culture.  And of course, there are many Asians here in Hawaii.  But it's the newcomers who think all of this is great, and choose to ignore the laws, well, not just newcomers.  So much for laws.  They are made to be broken, is that the issue here?
