Postcards from Hawaii
Cynthia and I are visiting family in Kauai. (Yeah it's awful, I have inlaws on a tropical island.) Here's some signs and things we thought would be interesting to Stay Free! readers...
This I got on the plane. As if my first postcard from Hawaii would be to Rubschlager asking for sodium content.
Cynthia spotted this gem at the county fair. So many macho Hawaiian men have been searching for a way to wear pearls without being called "a Nancy."
This we found on a Café bulletin board in the middle of nowhere. As far as we can tell, it's a rock. And not even a very large one. I'll be happy to pass the full phone number on, but serious inquiries only please. P.S. This picture will be framed in our living room within the month.
Kauai is the kind of place where someone who has a yurt and someone who needs a yurt can get in touch through a handmade flyer at a pizza place. By the way, in my fantasy world the yurt seller uses the money to buy a geodesic dome.

I used "yurt" in a poem once and got a lot of confused comments from the workshop class. Just saw the word in the dictionary and thought it sounded fun -- It stuck out to me, like a handmade flyer. Did you get any inquiries re: the rock?

Welcome to our lovely state!
I hope you are enjoying our nazi-esque (and I mean "Nazi" in a good way) statewide ban on outdoor signage and billboards.
I've been here for 33 years, so I'm bored with the place, but it's nice that our tourist-oriented culture still rejects the level of public-space advertising that makes cities like LA and NYC so headspinning.
