Out today on the Mahana Naia for a snorkel trip. The fish were ... eh...so-so but the whales coming back were crazy good.

More whale tails and a couple of highly manipulated (no shame)
shots at Kamaole Beach 1 in Kihei, Maui, HI.

Calm down, I know it's not a fish. Darlene and I were cruising the Piilani Highway between Ma`alaea Harbor and Lahaina and stopped off at McGregor Point (lighthouse) to watch a pair of whales show out in front of boats. This shot was about 500 yards out near a very small boat.

Road Warrior"s Guide To Restaurants

Living on the road over 300 days a year absolutely destroys many a road warrior's dietary discipline.

Here's a few things I believe are detrimental to you and avoiding them are helpful in the prevention of packing on the pounds.

1. If your restaurant features some kind of stylized figure or cartoon character as it's logo or spokes person, don't go there, you can gain two pounds just by watching the commercial.

2. If your restaurant has a lighted sign on a pole and colored with yellow, red and blue, don't go there. You're a victim of subliminal advertising. Those colors crank your appetite into high gear.

3. Watch the other patrons. If more than half of them can be can be classified as overweight, fat, obese or morbidly obese, don't go there. You are who you associate with and misery loves company.

4. If your waitress delivers you two plates for you to serve yourself, don't go there. Buffet lines tend to make you want to "get your money's worth".

5. If your restaurant always has a cashier that can't operate the register and has to punch the pictures on the keyboard, don't go there. He or she wouldn't be able to spell cholesterol anyway.

6. If your restaurant asks you not to place the plastic trays in the garbage, don't go there. At least a tip isn't involved.

7. If you can't understand your waiter because the cars behind you drown out the speaker on the sign, don't go there.

8. If you find yourself humming the jingle of your restaurant, don't go there.

9. If you saw the restaurant's logo on the side of a truck and trailer on the interstate, don't go there.

10. If you know the menu by number and "super-size" is part of it, don't go there.

11. Finally, don't order diet beverages. Only fat people drink them.

Good advice, I think. Do I live by these words of caution, oh heck no! I fight the pounds like everybody else but I do believe that obesity is associated with these foods.
