| Dylan Imaikalani Watanabe Facial Imaging Rehearsal (Photo courtesy of Ryan) Hey, you guys! Better get ready! Steve Jobs and the gang at Apple are about to unleash the biggest thing since Aaron Furugen's world-renown Kauai shaved ice! THE iPHONE 5! And guess what? One of its absolutely fantastic features is that it has FACIAL RECOGNITION! That's why I'm not messing around! I am my generation's rubber-faced Jim Carrey--A THOUSAND AND ONE unique faces in my repertoire. So, just in case my iPhone 5 gets lost, I will need to program all 1001 faces into its computer banks. That way, not only will no one else be able to use my phone, but upon its return to me, no matter what face I'm wearing at the time, my phone will have no problem recognizing me. I know...I am one smart little buggah! Aloha until next time! |

CATCH AND RELEASE
 |
| Dylan Imaikalani Watanabe and Octavius (Photo courtesy of "GGMA" or Great-Grandmother Marion Haruko Aqui) Inspired by Grand-Uncle Charlie's capture of two large octopi (see blog references below*), Dylan Imaikalani Watanabe--on his own initiative and all by himself--set about one morning to find his own octopus. He labored long and hard, but his diligent and patient efforts were finally rewarded when he spied Octavius neatly camouflaged and almost invisible in a chaotic cluster of green sheets, pillows, clothing, and toys. After a long struggle, the determined five-year-old finally overcame the wily eight-legged invertebrate. Dylan was perspiring profusely, but we wiped him dry before the above photo was taken. For the advancement of oceanography studies at the University of Hawaii, Dylan tagged the octopus with important details such as beach location, date of capture, weight of the animal, and what fishing method was employed. Dylan is in strict compliance with the Hawaii statute requiring the release of sea creatures that are undersized. When complimented about his catch and even more so about his faithful adherence to state law, Dylan commented, "Well, actually, Uncle, I was tempted to keep him. The real reason I'm throwing this buggah back is because he's too small to eat!" *(See the following two posts.) |

"Any questions, Dylan?"
"Yes, just one, Dr. Amber. Why are we first year medical school students only allowed to dissect cadavers?"
"It dramatically decreases the odds of you getting sued for malpractice."
"Um..I knew that!"

FIRST HAWAIIAN SETTLERS
 |
| Ryan and Dylan Paddleboarding the Anahola River Theory has it that the Hawaiian Islands were first settled by a group of bold and adventuresome seafarers from the Marquesas Islands. While the flotilla of canoes wait outside of the breakwater, a brave advance team of scouts reconnoiter the area by paddleboarding up a river passageway... |

DON'T YOU DARE STEREOTYPE ME!
 |
| Parrot in Belize (Photo courtesy of Amber) Put that cracker away, Mister! I am sick and tired of you tourists thinking that all I eat is crackers! And don't you dare call me Polly, either! My name happens to be Horatio! And Horatio craves MEAT! Yeah, that's right! Red, bloody meat! I don't care what kind, either! Give me beef, give me pork, give me fish...heck, give me exotic flesh like sting ray, crocodile, or Komodo dragon! JUST GIVE ME MEAT! I crave it! What? You don't have any meat? Hmm... You know, in that light, you're looking kinda good! In fact, you're starting to look really prime and juicy! Hey, where you goin'? Come back here! I'm not done with you yet! Ah, so much for that... Now where did I stash that package of dried cuttlefish? |

THE BASICS
 |
| Ryan So, let's review the first safety rule... That's right--while riding your bicycle underwater, come up for air at regular intervals. Okay, listen up! Here's the second rule: Before coming up for air, BE SURE TO FIRST DISENGAGE FROM THE BICYCLE! Young people, you'd be surprised to know the stats--over half of the underwater bicycling fatalities across the nation were the result of athletes forgetting this very important second step. |
