When I woke up, I had 250 messages in my spam folder.
Most of them were Substack and EA verification codes, but the one at the top was from Alaska Airlines.
Which said my phone number and email had been changed.
The phone number didn't make any sense.
And the email didn't show any results when I Googled it.
However, a new trip had just been booked.
From Chicago to Orange County.
For me and one other person.
I Googled his name, and found out he played basketball in high school.
And was also arrested in Illinois.
For unlawful use of a weapon. So I called Alaska, and they said he had used my points to book a free flight, so they would return my points back to me. I called them just after the flight was scheduled to leave, so hopefully they either kicked him off the plane or pressed charges after he landed.
Partial double rainbow.
I got the new Amex mirror design. It's a little more reflective with a hint of a rainbow sheen.
A table of new cruise ships being released. Norwegian has teh most.
Southwest is announcing new awards.
Fly four one-way inter-island flights, and get a fifth one for free. But who flies inter-island one way? We are always round trip.
They also have a sale for $69 flights.
However, continental and inter-island are restricted to different months.
Also, while it says $69...
... when I try to book a flight, it's $105.
Because the cheap flights are only in the middle of the week.
A gecko peeking out from behind the oven.
When he runs out, he keeps a close eye on Ogii.
Eating.
Funky tongue.
Ogii getting pictures of another one.
A bird on a palm tree at sunset.
McDonald's always overfills the ice cream sundae. I don't konw if it happens by accident because it's hard to stop the ice cream, or if they do it on purpose to be nice to give me extra ice cream or to be mean to make me deal with it spilling out everywhere.
That's OK, though. I just toss it in a ziploc and it's fine.
Another gecko peeking out.
And another one.
This woman takes many pictures around Hawaii, especially of the volcano.
She made a new book.
With many of her pictures. She also sells are at the Volcano Center.
A Princess cruise.
Another light rainbow.
Ogii cooking lamb soup.
Another cruise coming the next day.
I don't recognize it.
Which one is this?
Google knows the answer.
Rays at sunrise.
This mongoose is keeping an eye on me.
Aw, there's bird poop on the side of the RAV4.
There aren't any trees above, though, so hopefully it's just a one-time thing.
The cruise ship at sunset.
A little brown gecko. You don't see nearly as many of these as the bigger green ones.
Ogii's video of geckos running around and even fighting.
Amazon released 392 movies. There are a few good ones, and a ton of crap.
We watched The Long Walk, from the Stephen King short story.
I really liked the story. The movie was OK. This scene was rather neat.
Compared to a man actually doing it, the length is pretty close. However, he went slower than what is allowed in the story.
And most people say the 4mph minimum of the story is fast enough to be unrealistic.
Neat cloud reflection.
Yoga.
With the Anthem of the Seas ship.
It has a little observation ball it can raise up.
Ogii stretching.
Normally the trees block the sun, but it's starting to come out from behind them now.
Some plants coming up.
One on its own.
Some tomatoes.
Gifts to mail for mother's day.
I hid under the bed when Ogii got home, but she found me.
She found her favorite noodles to cook tsuivan at KTA.
She had also gone to a sidewalk sale at Not Too Shabby.
This guy bought some items.
Ogii was featured on their feed about it.
A jewelry store.
With a closing sale.
However, the BBB says it's a scam.
You can find the same pieces on Amazon.
And they get horrible reviews saying they're crap.
There are ads for game apps on TV.
Pieces of this rug outside are coming up.
Birds come and pull them out for their nests.
We tend to cycle through the different types of grapes. I love the cotton candy ones, but there's only one left, at the bottom right.
They look OK, but they're probably old now, so let's wait until there's a bunch of them so they're more likely to be fresh.
We can grab some Nathan's hot dogs, though.
And some caritas from the roadside on the way home.
Their sign.
Making them.
They were gone for a while. I wonder if they didn't have a permit before, and then got one?
So good.
Ogii ordered a new laptop.
Scrubs.
With a cameo from the janitor.
Ogii showing her dad a rainbow.
And sunset.
Very pretty.
