Easy chair replaces bus stop for lady in purple
El Aina Danine the lady in purple, AKA the angel at the bus stop is back in Kapaa and no longer at the Kapaa neighborhood center bus stop, but about 50 feet north of the county bus stop. She is no longer on county property therefore the county must feel redeemed having washed their hands of any liabilities?
Now she sits in an easy chair a stones throw away in front of the fence that separates county from state property. She is now making her residence on state property. The state of Hawaii has now taken on the liability should God forbid anything happen to this woman living within inches of the Kuhio Highway. This is not a healthy lifestyle living 24/7 in a chair on a shoulder of a highly traveled road.
It took the county of Kauai over a year to figure a way to get Ms. Danine off the bus stop bench, they made new laws and put a metal bar in the middle of the bench! Hopefully the state acts sooner than the county did since she sits inches from traffic, just one drunken driver or one person making a left turn into Kojima plaza and someone passing on the shoulder is all it will take. Then what? A wrongful death (God forbid) lawsuit against the state?
El Aina insists God instructs and wants her to be there? God wants me to write this letter to hopefully save her life before it’s too late!
I hope that the state takes heed, because six months, a year from now or even next week, just may be too late.
God bless The Angel in the easy chair.

We are open for business
Always happier whenever I see a business sign say, open. I thought it was a good thing for the Army National Guard to step in on a short note and blend in to public affairs to help out. They do our nation a good deal of service.
Now that business is almost back to normal. I would like to point out few things I like about the North Shore. It is always green and cooler year around. It is very cozy and a pleasant place to visit. The people are friendly and easy to get along with. Though it may take time to recover fully from the disaster, and recovering all your belongings, it always good to remind yourselves that a good night out, is a good camp out and a good surf time together. This would be my first thoughts on what I enjoy about Hanalei and Haena, North Shore of Kauai.
When you do fully recover, I hope to also reflect on the finer things this side of the island reflects on. Thinking everyone who helped out throughout this whole ordeal.
