 The Healer Stones Film and Exhibition PremiereFriday, June 17, 2022   5:30 pm - 9:00 pmIf you have ever been to Waikiki, you might have seen these large human sized stones and passed them not knowing their remarkable history and where they came from. In the world of political toxicity, some may claim the topic as too controversial to talk about in an educational setting; bigots will claim it is against the will of their god and as such, anathema; politicians will use spiteful and dehumanizing rhetoric to drum up and drive populist policy against the very idea of it. However, the ideation of transsexualism is as old as history itself and has had a profound and respected place within Polynesian culture, as well as, many indigenous cultures, world wide. Bishop Museum presents the premiere...

While zooming in using Google Maps I saw something out of the ordinary, take a look.  The neighborhood, Moanalua Gardens, is near the Honolulu Airport.The airplane seems abnormally close to the ground, however it's hard to say for sure. Years ago I was a private pilot and routinely flew in and out of Honolulu Airport. The plane appears to be heading to the airport for a landing and I'd expect its altitude to be around 1,500-2,000 feet above sea level at this location. The photo seems to indicate the plane was flying at a lower than normal altitude.Have you ever zoomed in on a Google Map and seen a small airplane flying before?  It's the first time for me.  If you are curious about the exact location, the name of the thoroughfare is Ala Mahamoe Street.Aloha, MikeMike Bates (Realtor Assoc...
