Testing again…

This is a test to see if Google Buzz will pick up this blog post.

I haven’t updated this blog in a really long time… but maybe I should get back to it. Testing to see if this post gets picked up in Google Buzz.

I’m a little worried about the track of Hurricane Felicia. It’s projected to head due west, plowing straight through the islands. That’s not how hurricanes are supposed to behave in Hawaii! They’re supposed to stay to the south as they move westward, and every now and then one might hang a sharp right and zoom north to hit us. When a hurricane moves north to Hawaiian latitudes it’s supposed to weaken because our waters don’t have quite enough heat to keep it going. That is, unless things have changed. Is this a sign of… global warming? DUN DUN DUUHHH!!

Judy reminded me that I haven’t posted a new blog entry in forever. Maybe this one will inspire me to get back to more regular blogging. We had our annual pre-Easter egg party yesterday and were rewarded with a slew of cool pysanky eggs. I’ll be posting better individual egg photos later but wanted to get this group shot up first.

Two great tastes that taste great together? Uhh. I dunno about that.

Chili manapua?
