IRT/Joanne Lee: do us all a favor and buy a push broom or rake or shovel and take a moment to clean the dirty side of the Ala Wai.......the exercise is good for you and you'll come away with a warm feeling of doing community service  for the greater good (or the feeling you are chopped liver).

There are plenty of homeless around me who keep stealing shopping carts for their stuff......so I live dangerously and try to get those carts back to their store owners under the cover of darkness.....so far I have dodged a bullet or a crack up side the head.

I find using the City's or the States' websites to report things that are amiss and I always leave a phone number asking for an update..........ya, sometimes it takes forever to get things fixed/done.....but hang loose Hawaii, why pay more?
