Waikiki Update - 3

As to expected, the Waikiki experience has rapidly degenerated into a metaphorical amorphous blob. Overall, Waikiki is following the same trajectory of collapse as that of empire. Fortunately, the “old folks home” is in stasis. Well, maybe not.

The laundry rooms in the new building of  the “old folks home” are still devoid of laundry appliances. However, the security fob to enter the older building was finally obtained. During the last episode of laundry chores, a conversation was engaged with one of the geriatric residents of the older building. Many truths about the “old folks home” were forthcoming, too numerous and laborious to list. Nonetheless, all warnings given will be heeded.

Nothing more, nothing less.

There have been extreme internal debates concerning the disposition of the Nissan® Quest minivan. With only a few days of the two-month “grace period” remaining, time is running out. The stalemate was originally thought to be incongruence with the “ownership society.” However, subsequent analyses point toward mortality issues. At this point time, the Kelly Blue Book® Instant Cash program has valued the minivan at $12,400 maximum.
