| the malasadas i've been dreaming of ever since we first moved here, while living in our temporary accommodation, where this pastry shop, Maleko Coffee + Pastries, was/is located on the main floor, but when we were temporarily staying there, the baker had injured his foot or something, and so, malasadas were not being made, so we got a bear claw, and it was delicious, and then we moved into our permanent residence, and then a year went whizzing by, and so, yesterday, we thought we'd just stop in to see what we would find, and when we entered the pastry shop, the very nice lady behind the counter welcomed us in, and as i approached the counter to say hi, i pointed, "Are those..." "Malasadas?" "Yea." "Yes, and you're very lucky that there are even any here this late in the day on a Saturday." we ordered one cream, one guava, and she threw in the third flavor, blueberry, on the house. we, obviously, tipped the amount of the third. |

| i'm not gonna lie; i probably should, but i will not, because the Truth is that i've been seriously considering not-voting this election cycle. i know. i know. fear not, the bodybuddy/lifemate has done his good work at convincing me that i don't really have a choice, which is not-true, i do have a choice; as an eligible voter and citizen of this great country, it is well within my right to not-vote. if i had to vote, then this country wouldn't be the bastion of democracy it claims to be. fact. nevertheless, i received this mailer in the mail the other day, and it was addressed to me (or current resident), my point being that it was addressed to me, my full name, and when i perused the mailer, i realized that i do not have a choice, i must vote, cause, these three endorsements couldn't resonate with me, as a voter, anymore than they already do. it looks like, in the state of hawai'i, Voters must be Registered to vote by October 28, 2024 for this 2024 General Election *thumbs up* vote if you want. as a taxpaying citizen, it's your right to or not. |
