Wow, I'm just catching up wit this thread now.

Sometimes you have to remember that behind every stoneface or bad attitude there is a story. Maybe that person just got dumped, fired, or is just plain having a rough time lately. So, it could just be that.

The "national mood" as you put it is not so good lately....I think that could be a part of it.
I mean....is it me, or have there been ALOT of fatal car accidents in SoCal lately ? I swear, in the past few weeks, I've seen horrific, fatal accidents on the news almost every day. It's disturbing. Something is going on in the world...it's a dark time.
So, all we can do is enjoy the "escape" of tiki, and try to muddle through.

Also, Being tight on money, something alot of people are dealing with right now, is NOT fun. All the mai tais in the world can't completely erase that.

Hau 'oli Tiki, I think what you did...going up to people and saying "hi", was the absolute best thing to do, no matter how the people react...
THAT is Aloha spirit.

For more Aloha...Bamboo Ben's May 3rd, for sure !
