A gecko on the window at sunset.
With a palm tree.
Ogii's scratches on her elbow are healing.
As are the ones on her shoulder.
And the cat bites on my foot.
Yoda.
Ogii found her sandals in her size. No silver, though; only gold.
Temu has ads on Facebook for other interesting shoes.
And also this poster, which is a horrible AI mess.
Hikaru Nakamura is much better at chess than Levy Rozman, so they both thought it was funny when Hikaru mated Levy with four knights.
A mongoose watching me in the parking lot.
Scattered patches of pink in the clouds.
Reflection.
Almost down.
The geckos like to hide behind the fridge and peek out.
Our balcony spider with a rainbow.
A self-use blood pressure cuff. I'm doing well.
The Pizza Hut Express at Target has a few items at 10:50am. They seem to be all sold out by noon.
This is the first time I've seen pasta there.
Lunch at Hawaii Fresh Specialties.
Their plates.
And some sides.
It was all very good.
The parking lot has many plumeria trees.
Halloween decorations east of Pualani Park.
Graveyard.
Pumpkins.
Many different items.
Very tall guy.
I'm not sure if any trick or treaters will come by our place, so we put candy out just in case.
Ogii with her witch.
Turning her around so she can see the sunset.
The spider with the sunset.
We watched Sleepy Hollow.
It looks like no trick or treaters came. Only one pack of M&Ms is missing, and our neighbor ate that.
MyPro for student massages.
They're very good.
A gecko hopped in our cart at Target.
Checking out the baking soda.
6am flight to Oahu on Sunday.
Nice picture of a rainbow at the Honolulu airport.
The rental car shuttle is only a few minutes walk from the Hawaiian Airlines terminal, but the rental car shuttle comes fairly often.
The Skyline rail now comes to the airport.
The first segment to the west, from Ewa Beach to the Aloha Stadium, opened on 6/30/23. The second segment to the airport opened 10/16/25. The third segment to downtown and Civic Center is planned to open 2031, and then a fourth segment to Ala Moana Center is planned later. That seems backwards; it seems there would be many more people headed to and from the airport from Waikiki than from the west, but maybe it was harder to get permits and perform construction in downtown. Plus, the buses to and from Waikiki and the airport seem pretty good, although a bit slower than cars; I wonder what the travel time comparison will be versus the rail when it's done.
We don't even have to stop at the checkout counter to pick up our Budget Rental car; we just go straight to it.
Ogii dropped me off at the Oahu Country Club for a CE meeting.
It has a nice golf course.
Interesting sculpture.
Ogii took the car to go shopping. She saw this convertible with a surf board sticking out.
And the Waikiki Landmark.
First shopping stop: Eco-Town Select at the Ala Moana Center.
It's a great place to get cheaper but good aloha shirts.
This one is really nice.
Some funky glasses at Saks Off 5th.
I'm not sure who would wear those.
A performance at the stage.
Lunchtime for me at the meeting.
Vendor booths.
A very low rainbow over a golf course.
Back to the airport at 6pm.
Ogii wore one of the men's dress shirts she bought to stay warm on the plane.
