JEM's Hawai`i Is Dark And Dreary!
Pouring rain, ligntning, thunder. That and the yells and the running of people caught in the sudden downpour are all I see and hear right now. It's raining so hard that the neighboring building has waterfalls pouring off its rooftop, and I can barely see the building just beyond that one. We are...

Some Local Words/Phrases And Their Common Meanings
I use the term "local" in my title because not all the words/phrases I list here will be Hawaiian. Also, I give common meanings, not literal meanings--though in some cases I may mention the literal meaning as well. Mahalo -- thank you (though you'd be amazed at how many tourists think it means...
