Keeping my eye on Lowell, brother.

Looks like he's going to pass to the West of your Island paradise.

Sending out MOJO to keep it there🤙🏽

Be like Dolly.

Absolutely. She was as solid as it gets. My son and I met her and LIttle Jimmy Dickens years ago. Opry.

These days...im more shocked when people are nice....than being assholes. Just in general. Not here at the Blues.

Here in Kauai....i would say the Aloha vibe? Is maybe around 10% of what it used to be. In the 70s and 80s? So much light. So much love.

And online? Its just a cesspool of trolls now. People wake up looking to troll anything and everything.

Personally think its just a mirroring of their own miserable lives. A mirroring of their darkness.

My dad(stepdad) is a mess. He has one of the most painful conditions out there....trigeminal neuralgia. At 92 years old. Takes nothing for the pain other than NSAIDs. Its so painful that he has developed Functional Neurological Disorder(FND). Which completely takes out the use of his legs. I dont know how many times in the last month ive had to go lift him off the ground. He will be standing...then boom. Hits the floor.

Even with all his misery and struggles....i never see him treat anyone like crap. Its all love and Aloha with him.

Dont forget to be kind to one another TPB fam. Aloha.

Be like Dolly.

Best wishes to dad. 92 yo is a big number. I'm 11 years younger and doing OK but am not the man I was. Points to Dad for hanging in there, being there for his family.

Mahalo my brother. Blessings to you.
