No, I'm not in "Sing-Sing!"  I passed under the H-1 and I like that the state made use of the space under the freeway to park vehicles or store equipment for a later use.  Also, it was nice and cool under there and I enjoyed a little respite from the Hawaiian sun!

Continuing in Waimalu, but mauka now, this little valley community had street names that all started with "pono."  Looking in my Hawaiian dictionary, it means well being, goodness,excellence and more!  What a wonderful word to describe where you live!  Small, but convoluted, it still took me 2.91 miles to circumnavigate the area.  There were very friendly people who didn't mind "talking story" with me as I meandered through their neighborhood! 

A sad occurrence in the neighborhood.  A kitchen grease fire gutted this residence and killed one of their dogs, but many trucks lined the street and were busy cleaning up and working on salvaging what they could.  The second picture was taken in their front yard, a reminder that hope, faith and courage linger on and that THINGS can be replaced!

These two mailboxes interested me!  The first had an oriental painting and emblem decorating it, also in the same color of the home behind it!

The second mailbox has writing on it!  After staring and staring at it, I still can't make it out.  How about you?  Can you tell me what it says?

Noting a spinning item in the garage, upon further inspection, I realized that it was an airplane made out of a beer can and the propellers actually spun around when the wind blew making the entire plane turn on its axis.  I would like to know how they did this!

I've never seen a contraption like this before.  I don't know if this was jury-rigged by the owner or this is a new product that makes sure the ball will ALWAYS bounce back a certain way.  What do you think?

In moments of weakness, I sometimes feel that the goal of walking all the streets on Oahu is insurmountable.  But, this sight gives me the encouragement to continue.  This papaya tree should not have survived, but not one, but two branches grew out of the trunk to produce DOUBLE the amount of papaya now!  I hope that you'll see something encouraging today to help you to never doubt your goals!  Aloha! (Bye!)
