Moving West

Life is like a camera - Focus on the important things - Capture the good times - Delete the Negative - Learn to Develop. And if things don't turn out, then take another shot.

Most of the residents on Oahu can accept that we are very clearly in the 21st century. The Industrial Parks are slowly being permitted again in West Oahu.  We do not hear the "Keep the Country, Country" that the Fat Cats of Honolulu were insisting - that everyone has to do business in Honolulu. There were even rumors that there would be no shoe stores in the country. Slippahs would be just fine. And the tourists could come by and say, "How quaint." Ladies, in the higher classes would be taught to curtsy and men should at least kneel on one knee. Hey, Hey, the 21st century has arrived and we have more freedom.

Kapolei Shopping Centers, has been very good for most needs. But the Present Rail Party had insisted that you do everything in Honolulu. Second City was just shibai, it has remained a bedroom community in the last century. The thinking and the big bucks were in building the Rail Catastrophe. Please Note it is no longer referred to as "Rapid Transit." Everyone has accepted that it will be slower to get from point A to point B. Perhaps Waianae can be Second City. Would be Perfect.

"Education costs money.  But then so does ignorance."

Meanwhile dancers have to find how and where to dance in the West. Let's face it, we can just about dance anywhere, and we don't need any special dance shoes. What we dance is for the masses, not the classes. But finding a place where we could dance more comfortable is difficult to find. Most places that could have been used for dancing have raise the rentals to pay for the Rail Disaster.

 a partner, and many will keep doing it for the rest of their lives.".
