More then one person has been charged in the murders of Chris Mohan and Ed Shellenberg the two men that were in the wrong place and the wrong time. The march to justice can be a slow and lonely one.

Yes the world is falling apart but Shelley and I decided to Go to Maui and it was wonderful in ways we never expected. My wife and I trips to Hawaii have always been about the where land meets the water. Maui's beach have a rusty color. The water has soft green color that reflects the coral reefs that line the beach and shoreline. It around the reefs that magic of Maui reveals it's self. The bright colors of tropical fish and the smooth movements of sea turtles as they fly away into caves to get away for tourists in the rented snorkel gear. The next sea creature that totally captures your attention are the humpbacked whales that are vacationing in Maui just like we were. The whales provide hours of entertainment for shoreside hill McGregor Point. We stay near near Kamaole Beach 1 at Maui Coast Hotel in Kihei see my review of the hotel on trip advisor.

What a difference three days makes
Today President Obama starts his forth Day in Office and as the photo below shows many Americans could not wait for the end of the dark night the was the bush presidency.
The End of the War on Terror is a Key Point of Light that Obama Presidency is sending to the world. No More Gitmo and it's water boarding. The State Department under Hillary Clinton will use a robust diplomacy to spread the message of democracy around the world.
Since President Obama has asked Americans to part of this change and in my small way I want and International investigation of Israelis use of White Phosphorus in its attack on Gaza
I left my digital camera at work so there will be no photos with this post but. Here are few observations about Vancouver Boxing Day Sales.
Rockport Shoes Not on Sale. Samsonite Travel Bags (had not changed since the last time I looked at 50% off list price). Christmas chocolate 25 to 50 % off wait a few more days and it will be 70%,
I went to the coffee bar at Oakride Mall in Vancouver and asked the clerk anything on sale for boxing day she said no. Shelley was able to find a night shirt at 75% off and we able to pick up a quality towel for 50% retail price. So after about 1 hour at the mall we got in to the car and took the snowy drive back home.
Vancouver Secret Lantern Festival this seemed well more like the secret this year because in happen in the middle of a large snow storm here in Vancouver B.C. Only about 250 people attended this year to see the Morrismen sing there classic Wassail this year the did not build a fire sculpture to burn and a sign of the added daily light of the sun. Festival provided wonderful fire dancers to mark the winter solstice.
