We were wondering if being Mayor of Tiki Island is about like being Mayor of Margaritaville. As my sister said, the title just seems so…illustrious.
It’s almost 7 pm. Clouds are moving in and winds are picking up, though our average wind speed is only about 10 miles an hour. I haven’t checked on our highest gust yet.
Here is how the extended Ideus family hunkers down. We all tried for a nap this afternoon thinking we wouldn’t get much sleep as the storm rolls in overnight. Then, in a display of true haute cuisine, we supped on mac-n-cheese and bratwurst. 
And we have a little hummingbird visitor who hunkers down in his own way, clutching on to our maple tree.
And, for your viewing pleasure, more on the infamous Galveston Sea Bear:
Aloha,
Glad to get the word that all of you are safe and together. I finally got word this morning. Mom forwarded Johanna’s e-mail to me and it had the link to the blog. Oh and check out honolulu.gov, Mufi Hannemann does seem to be “illustrious”. Hopefully some “Aloha” will spread your way.
