Before focusing this science Wednesday on global warming, a short analysis of what is happening with the presidential campaign. After all the bad-mouthing by Donald Trump about the  next presidential debate, this ABC event is now again on track for Tuesday, September 10 at 9PM (EDT)  at the National Constitution Center, where rests the Liberty Bell, in Phildelphia.  Moderators will be David Muir and Linsey Davis.  The ground rules will be the same as CNN's debate between Trump and Joe Biden.  There will be no third-party candidates nor audience.  In one corner, Donald Trump at 78 and in the other, Kamala Harris at 59.

His fifth marriage occurred on June 2024, to retired Russian molecular biologist Elena Zhukova, whose daughter Dasha is the ex-wife of Roman Abramovich.  Who is he?  Worth  $14.5 billion, with Russian, Israel and Portuguese citizenship, and a pal

SORRY, MY SUNDAY BLOG WAS COMPLETED IN TIME.  BUT I FORGOT TO CLICK THE POST BUTTON.  TO READ IT, CLICK ON THIS . I've now lived at 15 Craigside, a retirement community, for a little more than a decade.  Fifteen years ago I saw this building coming up on land adjacent to 2101 Craigside, an un-related condominium.  Both structures are on the Mauka ( mountain or northside )-Diamond Head ( eastside ) corner of Nuuanu Avenue and Judd Street, land previously the campus of Iolani High School.  They moved to their present Ala Wai site in 1953.
