Fuck It Friday - Hurricane Edition

Fuck It Friday (FIF)! Sporadic news and commentary of no interest to anyone ... FIF! Hurricane Lane is the primary focus of this edition. Yes, this is Fuck It Friday!

Waikiki

Strong winds continued until midnight, then settled into usual trade wind patterns with very little precipitation. About three hours were spent in the community room at the “old folks home” in the early evening after a circuitous return trip through downtown from Ala Moana Center. Fuck it!

Coffee and what could be described as breakfast was prepared and consumed in the community room at the “old folks home” this morning. A useless drive to Kahala Mall revealed that the entire complex was locked up. Fortunately, the fast food joint was open. So, a continuation of coffee time ensued. The free Net wireless access was also exploited. Lots of Asian tourists were there, no doubt foolish enough to believe that all shopping venues would be open. Obsessive consumerism knows no bounds. Fuck it!

Very little will be accomplished for the rest of the day. There’s no place to loiter. No bus service. Dinner will be procured at the fast food joint on Ke’eamoku Street. Or, one of the two non-perishable microwaveable dinners will be prepared at the “old folks home.” Hot water from the laundry room at the “old folks home” will be used for bathing since the gym is closed. The recently purchased plastic trash bin will be used to transport the hot water to the cell. Fuck it!

What is everyone else doing? No doubt, sitting in front of the tube or playing with the “smartphone,” all the while stuffing themselves with all the junk food that was hoarded during the hurricane threat. Fuck it!

Hurricane Lane continues to weaken and slow down. No telling when it will pass O’ahu. The various local news sources are continuing to exploit the event to keep unwitting fools locked in and subject to advertising bombardment. There may be some rain and strong winds, but that’s it. No further updates in Notes is required. Fuck it!
