More Road-Related Humor

We love living in yet another place with evocative highway signs - imagine - Pearl Harbor!  Much harder to imagine is this part of the sign...

...Interstate.  Really?  To which state might this road actually connect? 

In case you can't read this blinking warning sign, it says, "BEWARE OF POTHOLES" and the reason you might not be able to read it so well is that potholes, though you my know they are present, are really not that easy to avoid!  Apparently large potholes show up during heavy rains, which we have had a lot of this last week.  They really are a menace, and are not at all appreciated, especially by those of us with recently acquired vehicles.

Here is Layden with our new addition to our auto family.  Living "out in the country" is lovely, but we decided that it really would be easier if we had two cars.  We learned several things in the process of aquiring said car.  First, one no longer buys a "used car."  One purchases a "pre-owned vechicle," in our case this nice Jetta.  Second, cars in Hawaii, pre-owned or not, are, like everything else here, more expensive than they would be elsewhere. Third, if you buy a car according to the method endorsed by  Dave Ramsey here, you are a lot more cautious about handing over your money for the first car that catches your eye and a lot more willing to look for a really good deal.  Fourth, we really don't like to buy cars! 

Having cars means maintenance - in this case, our PT Cruiser needed an A/C recharge for the first time in almost 7 years.  So I took it in to the local auto shop.  This is my waiting room.  Only in Hawaii...

Cars and roads are not the only transportation methods used in the Islands.  But sometimes it is necessary to transport your transportation.  Such a BIG inflatable turtle on this little car!
