Hi Paul! I just wanted to share with you this photo my family took of me while on vacation this summer in Kauai. The photo was taken at Tunnels Beach, Haena, with Mount Makana (Bali Hai) in the background. I was so happy I finally remembered to bring a copy of your paper with us! ~ Denise Gebb of Santa Rosa

I’m driving with this guy, and he runs right through a Stop sign. So I say, “Hey, that was a Stop sign.” And he says, “I drive like my brother!”


A few blocks later, he plows right through a red light. I say, “You just ran a red light.” And he says, “I drive like my brother!”


So now we’re coming up on a green light, and he slows down. I’m confused, so I


say, “It’s green; why are you slowing down?”


He says, “My brother might be coming.”
