Bad news: There are MONGOOSES in Hawaii!
Picture, if you will, a ferret with coyote or fox fur. GROSS! I know. Mongooses (yes, that is the correct plural) were brought to Hawaii in order to control the snake population. Funny, because there isn't a snake population here. So really, they were brought here to fill the void for the rest of the human population that needed a squirrel fix, I think.
The other day I almost ran over one, they have come up to us at Ko'Olina, and they would totally be Aidan's nemeses if he was here. They still catch me off-guard and make me shriek. They are weird!
Today I went to see two more homes (on the same property) in Kailua (the side of the island where "LOST" is filmed). They were fine - but still, nothing is comparing to the first home I saw, and still haven't heard ANYTHING from the realtor. I left a message for her again today, as well as e-mailing her this morning, to no avail. :( I am SICK OF WAITING! And, as most of you know, I am NOT a patient person. Tomorrow morning I am going to see another home in the Pacific Heights area (same area as the one I am STILL waiting to hear about). Maybe this one could be better? I hate that I seem to be comparing everything I see to that first triplex, but I just want it so badly! So...I will keep you posted.
Hopefully Zac will be here soon. I have received a couple of e-mails from him. He seems to be in good spirits. He is so glad to be out of the ship yard - operating the sub as it should be. Hooray for that! They have an amazing team of sailors on the sub, and I am confident that they are doing great work. I am chair of the Homecoming committee for the sub's return to Pearl Harbor. I scheduled our first meeting in HI for this Sunday, so I am hoping for a good turn out.
Until tomorrow,
RAWE

I always thought mongooses were sweet. Have you ever seen one of those dudes in action? I saw it on Nat'l Geographic. Awe-inspiring really.
