The Eve Of Eves

Aloha kākou and happy Saturday (Pōʻaono). It is the Eve of Monsters. Or what I call the impending sugar rush. It’s a fun time of the year as we move into November and into the Thanksgiving month. October ends with the celebration of All Hallows’ Eve, or All Saints’ Eve, it is a celebration observed in many countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows’ Day. It begins the observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints, martyrs, and all the departed. All cultures celebrate this day with spooky costumes and go house to house collecting candy.

The timing of Halloween couldn’t be better this year. It falls on a weekend, on Sunday which I consider the end of the week. Monday’s always start the week for me. Sunday is always the day of rest. I live in very rural area of East Hawai’i Island in the Puna district, and there’s not a lot of Trick-Or-Treating in my neighborhood. It’s very quiet here and I like it that way.

In Hilo, there are lots of Trick-Or-Treaters that will be coming out this evening. Our community is very close and tight-knit. I will say that practically nearly everyone here knows everyone. Despite being the second largest city on the Hawaiian islands, we’re still pretty rural as apposed to Honolulu which looks like Los Angeles at times.

During the World Series game between the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros President Trump shows his support for the Braves doing the Tomahawk Chop in the crowd with First Lady Melania Trump. The stadium loves President Trump and Melania.  Afterwards, the stadium chants “Fuck Joe Biden”. Of course the Fake News Media ignores the anti-Biden chants. I had to laugh at how desperately the fake news media tried to spin this as anti-Trump. Nice to see the President and First Lady again. The momentum is growing to get President Trump to run for President again. I hope he does because we need to undo all the damage the Marxist democrats have done to this country. Fix the election laws to prevent the cheating and voter fraud from happening again.

On this Eve of Eves. I’m going to runout and to my favorite Mexican restaurant for some shrimp tacos. Coco Cantina has some great food and drinks. I need to get some more non-ethanol gas for my lawn equipment. I like finishing up the week in preparation for Sunday’s day of rest. I’ll be starting up the Barbeque tomorrow to grill a Cornish Game Hen. Watch a little television and relax with a glass of red wine. Can’t think of a better way to spend the weekend.
