Heatwave

A nauseating heatwave has baked the islands for about a week with last night being the hottest. Inside the “old folks home,” the West-facing cells suffered through sizzling 95^o+ ambient temperatures at night! The common hallways, which lack adequate ventilation, were even hotter. Any kind of electric fan only tends to blow the hot air around with little relief. Running the inefficient antique air conditioners would only increase the utility bill.

Sadly, the cheap Walmart® 4-inch electric fan (made in China) is now malfunctioning. The antiquated wall-mounted air conditioner has a defective manual thermostat, so there’s no way to know what it’s set at. If the situation wasn’t so pathetic, it would be laughable.

Some of the transient homeless and one of the homeless motorhomes (i.e., beat-up minivan) have returned to the Elm & Alder Streets half-perimeter of the State Juvenile Detention Center just in time to celebrate the heatwave. Obviously, the alleged arson has not returned. Oh, the shithole that is Lower Makiki!
