Something Rotten In Hilo???

[Chuysmom]

Well I don't know what it was but it was very stinky like someone didn't wash their bottom for a while.[:p]

Is it the "corpse flower"?

I wasn't hijacking, Obie. I was talking about the trees blooming on the Bayfront that Carol mentioned. The topic is things that could smell rotten. Do you need to be so rude?

Even though there's only one corpse flower, Paul, that was a cool article. Thanks for posting it. Here's a photo of what the titan arum looks like when it opens. Stunning flower.

Maybe we should have a topic dedicated to the sewage spill and aging pipe problem. It's an important issue.

I didn't think it was rude to point out that you always have to hijack every thread on Punaweb.

If you want to talk about bees attacking your car, just post that !!

The sewer smell that is coming from a break in a sewer line has nothing to do with your bee attack.

I missed the election for new Moderator. Dang.

I don't ever hijack a topic on purpose, Obie. I free associate and think of things that are related.

Carrie mentioned a bad smell on the Bayfront.
Yes there is a sewage spill, but I drove the Bayfront this afternoon, and you cannot smell the sewage leakage over by the airport on what is generally referred to as the Bayfront, so that's probably not the answer to Carrie's question.

Carol mentioned the seasonal trees with stinky flowers. The intense concentration of bees in the area is an illustration of how heavy the flowering is on those trees right now, which supports the idea that the pilau flowers could make Carrie wrinkle her nose.

There is no call to refer to people as nitwits if they don't read the Herald every day. I don't see a banner on the forum warning people not to post here if they haven't done the assigned newspaper reading.

Actually the trees that stink by the bus station are different from the trees Kathy is talking about. And I work on the Bay front and am quite sure that the smell is not the corpse flower or the sewage leek, the sewage leek is all the way over by the airport, and will be dumped into the Bay well outside the break wall.

I also think a slight deviation from the topic is typical human discourse, not a hijack, but personally attacking someone in a hostile manner is hijacking a thread.

Sometimes a very low tide will create a yucky smell (bottom muck exposed to air), more normally by the ponds at Seaside Rest. & Wailoa Park....

This months' lowest tides are this weekend during the morning hours.

If the smell is closer to the lighthouse & singing bridge, there is the street drain outlet...

@ John. I love the "raptured" sewer line. Your unintentional typo made me laugh!
