Whoa, we just had a  6.3 magnitude earthquake  close to Loihi, that seamount on the southeast side of the Big Island.  The water in my aquarium almost overflowed.  I was sitting next to the window and wondered if I should move to the bathroom.  It was somewhat scary.  Reminded me of the  7.1 earthquake  I wrote about in the  Huffington Post  when I was in Tokyo just after that  Great Tohoku Earthquake in 2011 . Donald Trump had a great day yesterday , while  Joe Biden  did not.  He got irritated with the report on his confidential info problem, especially with special investigator Robert Hur, who indicated that perhaps Biden had some memory problems.  The matter of his age seems now to be his biggest stumbling block. Then, there was a  poll by NBC showing that he trailed Trump 47% to  42% .  Here is where he is hurting the most:  16 points behind Trump on being "competent and effective."  In 2020 Biden led on this matter by 9 points.  The economy?  Trump has a 22-point advant

On this nostalgic Tuesday, I look back at my posting of 2012:   Kung Hee Fat Choy , which means Happy New Year.  I said: This is the year of the dragon, which is the most favorable, luckiest and revered zodiac sign.  Dragons are confident, generous, colorful, gifted and operate on a grand scale.  Hmm...no wonder I am a dragon.  Both  weddings and births will spike this year in the Orient .  We dragons, though, can be conceited, tactless, and solitary.   The more I look at the above, the more it makes sense, for I can be conceited, tactless and solitary.  I also said: There are, actually,  ten different dragons .  Twelve years ago it was metal and in 2024 it will be wood.  This year?  The  water dragon , something that won't happen again for 120 years.  The founders of  Blue Revolution Hawaii  have accepted the Blue Marine Dragon as our mascot . I showed a photo of the fireworks at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore: How old is China?  This posting mentioned above said:   In the West
