Two comments:
- When I was young in Honolulu, and still somewhat young when moving to Puna in the 80's, tradition meant buying long strings of firecrackers that were attached to some type of pole at the end of your driveway, and set off at midnight at the start of the New Year to chase away evil spirits and prevent them from entering your home.
- I watched several newscasts about the Honolulu tragedy, and during one of them while Gov Greene was talking about the horror first responders faced when arriving at the scene he said " brains on the sidewalk ". That image will haunt me for a long time to come.
