OT: Leaving on a jet plane..
« on: June 01, 2003, 04:54:38 PM »
This Tuesday right after work I'm flying out to L.A. then on Wednesday I'll catch a flight to Honolulu. I don't think I'll have much time before then to stop by, so I thought I would say Aloha! before I left!

I plan on calling you, Al...but I forgot what days you are available! Ooops! Email me or PM me before Tuesday if you see me online and let me know.

BTW, I went camping this weekend and I found this guy crossing the road. It's an Eastern Kingsnake.

Nice critter.

Have a great time!
Do not fear your enemies.  The worse they can do is kill you.  Do not fear friends.  At worst, they may betray you.
Fear those who do not care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exist because of their silent consent.

Ask Al about the Brown Tree Snakes, John.

Find one of those (in Paradise) and you'd be a hero!

 I know the whole history of the brown snake...how it came to Hawaii via cargo (probably fruit) and how it is eating up the native bird population. If I do see one I'll be sure to kill it on site.

Leaving On A Jet Plane


All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here outside your door,
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn,
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn,
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry.

So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down,
So many times, I've played around,
I'll tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll think of you,
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you;
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring.

So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Now the time has come to leave you, one more time let me kiss you,
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come when I won't have to leave alone,
About the time I won't have to say:

Leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again.

 " Just make sure ya come Back " Have a Great time smile.gif

Ha ha, that's Guam guys, brown tree snake.  Once in a while they get through cargo, but have not established themselves here.  But in Guam..... listen for the birds chirping in the morning...Oh, the silence.

John, looking forward to your arrival, I noticed on your plans one of those days you are going to come out to the east side of the island where I live.  Sounds like a good time to meet up and shake da paws.

I'm on vacation until friday afternoon, so let me know.   biggrin.gif

Guam eh? My bad...I knew they were taking over some place. Still..Hawaii wouldn't want them!

I'll let my buddy know about meeting up for lunch. BTW, what's the weather there supposed to be this week?

So far clear sunny skies, light winds and hot hawaiian weather (near 90 degrees).  No rain forcasted for a while.

BTW.  Neat snake!

Bill, you still have her around?   jawdrop.gif  whistling.gif
