Long long tones

 It wasn't much of a day off yesterday, with packing that big box and running over to Nijiya and all that, but I did make an attempt to relax a bit. Until a particular large ugly piece of equipment Ken had dragged in here tried to destroy my knee for the final time, because I dragged it into the office and took it apart.

I keep finding very depressing things to watch on YouTube about homeless in Hawaii, but in reality they're just as much end-of-spectrum cases as the wealthy people living in Kahala. The norm is just a regular person, getting along, whether it's near the upper end of the spectrum like my older sister and her husband (the lawyer) or someone like myself, as a young student, where if I had stayed the hell away from college would have had quite a nice life and been able to save up money too.
