Man, da main dat broke is all 'bus up brah!

Driving down the Ala Wai is going to be like doing traffic suicide!
Yesterday afternoon, at around 4 they reduced it all the way down to 1 lane...not to mention the smell as you can only go by slowly. There were 4 or more pumps on both sides of the canal pumping the sewage directly into it....what a sight. They are talking about millions of gallons of sewage being pumped into the canal. I doubt that anyone will be doing any paddling in the near future.

So if you can, best you stay away. Especially during Rush-Hours.
 
Oh +$#@&*@!!! Now the electricty went out!!! grrrrrrrrr....This battery isn't going to last long...
 
Went out to take some pictures...it is really icky....I can't believe, like they say in the article, that if they pump this stuff in the Ala Wai it won't contaminate Waikiki Beachs....


These are 4 of the 6 pumps that are pumping the pure sewage into the Ala Wai

Well Roger went diving this morning....don't know where yet though. On the news they just said that the water is contaminated from Kaisers (about at the start of Kewalo park) to Rock piles (which is off to the left- Past Kaka'ako, right?) I think there are only certs on the boat...maybe they will do deep deep dives
