A few things to relate:
1. a random old local dude struck up a conversation with me at the Safeway gas pump in Hilo, asking why prices don't go down when oil goes down. I guess ordinary people are thinking about these things too, not just us keyboard jockeys.
2. Both Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab straits are being attacked again, so expect the gas that never really went down in price here to go up again.
3. First Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii died in the Iran war. I think that is our first casualty from Hawaii. He was killed inside an American base in Jordan, which the mightiest and most expensive military in the world was not able to defend.
