Well, power up Super Zoom and take another shot. I think this was like 70x.
And let’s just show Google some love. Yesterday’s image of The Shrine. It’s 13.8 miles away from the Old Bat’s Window.
13.8 miles away. That’s just crazy.
And now a word from the folks who brought you Labor Day. Labor Unions.
In the ’60s and early ’70s, I was a card-carrying member of the Longshoremen’s Union. ILWU Local 142. We didn’t cross picket lines. We “Looked for the Union Label”. And we never ate California table grapes. Fortunately, California wine grapes were OK.
The ILWU has a long and bloody history in Hawaii. Finally, in 1949, the union fought its last major battle. The 171-day strike was to gain pay equality with West Coast longshoremen. The previous long and deadly strikes involved the plantation workers. The same “Big Five” companies owned all the plantations and all the shipping – between the islands and to and from the West Coast.
We need unions now.
