Dog days of summer

July 19 was National Hot Dog Day.

Is there such a day?
Guess so.

July 19 was also dou you no ushi no hi - which means the day of the cow. The old Japanese calendar using the zodiac animals and each day is represented by an animal. The belief is that on the day of the cow in the middle of the summer to bring good luck / ward off illness you would eat something that starts with u. ume. ushi. usagi. all okay. Guess an Unagi (grilled eel) salesman jumped at the idea and as you fast forward to today, it has basically become eat unagi on cow day! How is that for marketing.

Anyway, back to Hot Dog day. The day was good. Went to check out this weiner mobile. So, cool.
Course the Outdoor circle thinks that it is a moving billboard and has a cow about it. Is there any cow in hot dogs? Mmm.

I am glad that we do not have any bill boards, but at the same time, is this really something you want to say no too?
Kids love it.
Parents love it. Generally speaking.
It comes once every 10 years.

Don't understand.
It was on the news and the Outdoor circle even is petitioning to the local government.
Sigh.
Saw somewhere that Hawaii is 49th out of 50 States for openness to business.
That cannot be good for business.
Oh well.
That is why the cost of living in Hawaii is so high and people cannot really survive out here.

We love the weather. The people. The food. Of course family is here.
Job market not so good. Cost of homes is outrageous.
What do you do? What do you do?

Not much one can do.
Suck it up or move on.

How about you?
