California's med marijuana biz booms
Interesting New York Times technology section story today (not sure why it's under "technology) on the growing medical marijuana business in California, now "a full-fledged industry ... taking in about $2 billion a year and generating $100 million in state sales taxes." But keep reading down for a funny story about a security check gone awry at Japan's Narita Airport. Some unsuspecting traveler was either horrified or elated with what they found in their luggage, depending on their perspective.

Visit Kevin's Fight Against Leukemia
I was hoping my friend Kevin Jakahi might be at Saturday's Newspaper Guild Christmas party in Hilo. Local sports fans remember Kevin's work for the Hawaii Tribune-Herald where he and I worked together for at least 15 years. I haven't seen him in months.

Health care in Puna from the ground up
While Saturday's conference at Waikoloa basically outlined the blueprint for Big Medicine and Big Government's top-down approach to solving the health care "crisis" on the Big Island, a more grassroots effort at local problem-solving is under way in Puna.
