Happy Groundhog Day!!


February 2nd...what a great day to celebrate this year...if you're a snow baby. Punxsutawny Phil, the country's leading "authority" on the timing of the winter-to-spring seasonal change, predicted that the U.S. will have six more weeks of winter. Bummer.

Instead of the 15-minute afternoon showers that are commonplace to this area, you receive a gullywasher of a rain shower--cars and buildings flood, the beaches are empty, and some roadways can become vast rivers too dangerous to navigate. But...only in Hawaii would such heavy rain showers bring a enjoyable visual bonus for being placed on indoor restriction. Here it is:


WATERFALLS!!!!
