The Geminids were in effect this week in Hawaii and North America. Monday night, the 15th, was the peak of the meteor shower and a few of us went to go check it out and try to snap some pics. We read that there were supposed to be 50 or so meteors per hour and that was about right. Every minute you’d see a meteor (which looks like a shooting star) or two. It was very cool to see but almost impossible to capture on camera.

Sam, Dan, Reanne and I cruised out to “Alan Davis,” the beach between Sandy Beach and Makapu’u around midnight. It’s one of the darkest spots you can find that’s within 20 minutes of Honolulu.

The shoreline of Ala Moana, where I live, faces Southwest. When the sun sets in the summer, it sets behind the mountain range on the West Coast. But right now, it’s setting straight out over the horizon. The views have been awesome every evening.

Football games bring people together like no other sporting event. We don’t have an NFL team in Hawaii, but we’ve got a really good c0llege team. When it’s football season, the entire state rallies behind the University of Hawai’i Warriors. This weekend the Warriors played their final game of the season. Some friends put together a tailgate and I was able to check out my first ever UH game.

The stadium gates opened at 12:30pm and kickoff was at 5:30. We had plenty of time to do some serious tailgating on this warm December afternoon.
