Mahalo, WHT for delivery through hurricane
I went to get my paper as usual from my mail can and saw that the mail hadn’t been picked up Thursday, but Friday morning the paper was delivered as usual.
Thank you WHT for being so efficient. If I don’t have the paper in the morning to read while I have my breakfast, I’ll grab a book or something but I thrive on reading the news daily.
Mahalo for being on time and not missing a delivery even with the hurricane threat looming.

Farewell, John McCain
Sometimes the good don’t die young – they get the chance to continue to make a great contribution, and few exemplify this more than John McCain.
His military service and extensive time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam showed the depth of his character when he refused early release as it would aid his captors. This time left him injured for life.
His willingness to continue his life of service as a senator and presidential candidate rather than retire to a life of family and friends further adds to his reputation. His selection of Sarah Palin as a running mate was, however, one of his few failings.
He was better than most and yet a down-to-earth, humble person. We need more like him to help run our countries.
Goodbye to a good person.
