The Only Way to Ride a Moped
If you’re driving(?)/riding a moped during busy traffic hours, the only way it’s done right is wearing a pair of Yeezy 500 Super Moon Yellow.

Escalators Are Not Exercise Machines
Please keep that in mind the next time you’re riding an escalator and repeat to yourself, “Escalators are not exercise machines.” If you forget, this sign will help you remember.
Now I would have expected something like this at Ala Moana where it seems mandatory that at least one set of escalators is broken. But alas, I guess some Windward guests were overly zealous with their exercise routines in the mall and caused this outage.
So remember that escalators are not exercise machines.
Amazon Echo Wall Clock, I Want One
So Amazon announced a bevy of upcoming products featuring Alexa. While many of these make a compelling case for any household, I won’t lie by saying that I really want the Echo Wall Clock. Yup, it is what it sounds like. It’s an old school analog wall clock with the big hand and little hand to tell time. But is it really an analog device or just a digitial display made to look analog?
I know there’s a ring of LED lights around the clock face that indicates timers set by Alexa and that alone makes this $30 device useful. We’ve been looking for a wall clock for some time and haven’t found anything that we liked – too expensive, too small, too big, too gaudy, too plain.
The Amazon Echo Wall Clock is utilitarian in appearance, but it’s not ugly. And if it really just runs on batteries would make this a guarantee purchase. Unfortunately, it’s not available to buy or pre-order just yet.

eBay Peeve: Real?
Okay, not an eBay tip but a pet peeve. Just how are you supposed to answer questions asking if your items for sale are real or authentic? Um, yes… What kind of question is that? If fake, would I admit to that? And how am I supposed to determine the authenticity either? Yeah, I’ve been around the kicks game for awhile but I’ve never seen every shoe model.
So is this Under Armour Curry 1 “Candy Reign” All Star edition legit?
Simulated Funfire
I guess street signs like this don’t faze residents who live near frequent Hawaii Five-O filming sites.
So it’s not surprising when I drove by and saw (real) police monitoring as set workers walked around with pistols.
A Secret Source for Madagascar Bourbon
So aparently there’s a global shortage of Madagascar Bourbon aka Vanilla Extract. Because of this scarity, price is exceptionally high at the stores. But… next time you’re shopping, check out the clearance, price-reduced section. You may score yourself some cheap but still good Madagascar Bourbon.
Smeg Dolce & Gabbana Toaster
While walking around Williams Sonama, I came across this Smeg toaster featuring visual designs by Dolce & Gabbana. Truly an eye catcher from the Sicily Is My Love collection, but then I saw the price tag of $650. $650 for a two-slice toaster!
Okay, okay, the slots are extra-wide, and at 12″x7″x7″, this appliance is big so that $650 is well justified. Although a WordPress blog theme based on the Sicily Is My Love collection would be kinda cool.
Hello Kitty-man
Can’t get any more Asian than this – Kikkoman soy sauce in a Hello Kitty themed bottle!
Get your Kitty x Kikkoman collab at a local Longs/CVS. Be sure they check the backstock too.
Ross Windward Mall…Almost
The forthcoming Ross location in Windward Mall, Kaneohe is seemingly almost ready to go. The signage is up, and the receiving area in the back is ready.
Once open, this location will complete the Thanos-like collection of Infinity Gems aka Ross Stores in the major Oahu shopping venues of:
Pearlridge- Waikiki
- Ward
- Kahala
- Ala Moana
- Windward Mall
Mamba Day and Hurricane Lane
Wait… Just when is Mamba Day? Supposedly it’s tomorrow, Friday, August 24 that marks the release of the new Kobe A.D. But then again, the Internet says Mamba Day is April 13 (the date of Kobe’s last game).
In any case, the Kobe A.D. release will probably coincide with the Oahu landfall of Hurricane Lane. While I personally like this new design and all the potential color combinations possible with the shoe’s components, I’ll have to pass (for now).
But if I try them on and they actually fit well then I may have found my next badminton court shoes.
Hit Up Safeway for Your Lane Necessities
We hit up Safeway this morning for last minute necessities.
Still had water
Who knew peaches were a hurricane staple?
Besides the peaches will go bad so how about food that will last longer? Like these cotton candy Twinkies?
Or these Cookie Monster cookies?
If water is not your thing, there’s always wine in a can.
Hey, just trying to bring some levity during this waiting time…
A Lane Precaution
For precautionary measures, we’re emptying out our refrigerator of non-essentials to hopefully maximize the coldness if when a power failure should occur.
So this root beer float frees up space in both the refrigerator and the freezer!
And don’t worry about refrigerating the leftovers from Round Table pizza – there won’t be any.
