This is a window in a room of our former hotel. Notice all the slant stuff? It was hard to know whether you were standing upright in there. Anyway, we moved from there because we are so sharp.+ + + + + + + +
They do not have any grits or collard greens here. Seems like a southern city, though, at least temperature-wise.
They are big on names, too, much like The South, which has Bubba and LeRoy running one-two. Reading the Birth Announcements, I came across this one: Exodus Kekia'iokeanuenueokeola N'u Francisco. His parents call him Moses for short.
But that doesn't hold a candle to this one: Chantilly Kalena'alohaku'ukokaua Hiwahiwaho'okahipukealloha Puha. Her parents call her Burdened.

We have figured out (partially) the bus system. Yesterday we went to Ala Moana (shopping) Center by taxi. Cost with tip: $15. Returned home via bus. Cost: Zip. (The bus driver took pity on an ancient and wizened Ol' Hoss and let him -- and his Scamp -- ride for free. Normally the cost is $2, except for seniors, which we are, who pay $1.)
Almost forgot to report: People here had naming contests to name the bus system and the trolley system, which are run by the city. After much stretching and straining, here is what they came up with:
Bus system: The Bus
Trolley system: The Trolley
People here seem to spend more time surfing and shopping. Creativity is way down the list.

My favorite word today is pome. N., some kinda fruit? Def.: What rhymes in Mobile.
