I woke up before my alarm, which is unusual. (Yeah, I often set two alarms to be sure I am on time.) The traffic on H-1 was fine, and the sky was dry. And my alarm was still sleeping, so I daydreamed a bit. Maybe it's going to be a fine day, which would be good because I will go out to have dim su ...

Sunshine, rain, horizontal rain...

The best thing to do is to look at the sky before you step out. The wind is so strong that umbrella does NOT help much. The light rain drops simply go horizontally. I wanted to go to the CMIP5 workshop, but my shoes were getting soaked in the morning (so I quickly stepped into my office building) ...

The sun is out again, but it's very cold

Right, 73F (23C) in my living room, which is a record low. I think some of my colleagues would be very happy to get a break from the rain since their arrival on Sunday...

Monthly activity in the Paradise
热度 2 2012-1-4 05:53
Every month, on the first working day, such as today, Jan. 3rd, at 11:45 am a siren will go off. It is to test the emergency alert system for the state. Yes, we live in a paradise, but we are not always safe...

What does 60% mean?
热度 1 2012-1-2 07:12
Alaska Airlines flight #864 is 60% on time. This morning, it is delayed by 300 minutes! I know somebody was happy to go back to sleep (yeah, at 6am, I would, too). But, a lot of tourists are probably very unhappy now, since they already checked out of their hotels and headed t ...

Waiting for the New Year to come to Hawaii...

In Hawaii, you have no choice but to stay up. Why? The firecrackers will NOT let you sleep, which started around 9pm, and will reach the climax at midnight. Happy 2012!

Are you ready for the New Year?
热度 3 2011-12-31 18:27
About 24 hours before the New Year arrives in Hawaii, I received a call from a good friend. I was surprised, because hardly anyone calls this late unless it's from China, from someone who cannot figure out the time difference correctly. Oh, she is stuck at the NRT due to flight cancellation. Luckil ...
