Beer-Drinking Pigs

This is a popular little site: the beer-drinking pigs at the Domino Club.  This started a generation ago with a pig that got hooked on real beer, but he died and the pigs today drink non-alcoholic beer.

Moko Jumbies

These are moko jumbies, characters from folklore that are either mischievous or protective depending on who you ask.  They come out to perform at various events on the island, like Jump Up (which is just a bunch of vendors open late downtown... possibly something we won't attend again).

It's Christmastime! (Can't you tell?)

See?  We can be festive here.  OK, so there aren't any Santas ringing bells, or lights on houses, or - gasp - snow, but we have some cool decorations on poles.

Clothes for sale!

Every morning I pass this guy, selling -- I don't know what... I see shoes and shirts... maybe they're designer knock-offs, but they're probably just a random assortment of items.

More Zaps

I had to add another video showing how much fun(?) it can be to chase around these guys.  (I had to take about a dozen videos before I got some zaps, much less actually caught the flash like in my previous post.)

Fwd: Zap those Mosquitos

We live by the beach and so we have a lot more mosquitos than most, and unfortunately the mosquitos here are very tiny and quick, like gnats in Utah.  One good way to kill them is with a zapper, something shaped like a tennis racquet with electricity going through the lines which gives a very loud, bright, deadly, satisfying shock to insects.  So that's become a common activity around our house: waving this thing around trying to hit these annoying things.
