| | There should be a headline in the paper saying: "Having solved all the crime in the city, the Honolulu Police Department is now on a mission to stop pedestrians from crossing the crosswalks when the red hand is flashing."
I was going to cross the street at the corner of Punchbowl and Halekauwila last Friday morning to go to work, and the signal was the little white man. It then turns to the flashy red hand thing, and I am about to walk and the police officer on the corner tells me not to cross. I look at him but don't wanna make a big "thing" out of this so I just stand by. Then I hear him talking, and notice it's to ANOTHER police officer across the street, ocean side, presumably doing the same thing.
If anything, there should be police officers stopping jaywalkers between Halekauwila and Queen street, where a lot of people jaywalk. But yeah, I guess there's nothing better to do for Honolulu's finest, since they have solved all the crime in the city, so are now tackling the smaller crimes like crossing the street when the red hand is blinking.
By the way, I can't take credit for the made up headline. It's a take off on one of the Cato Institute's news headlines from a few years ago. Theirs was when a Committee in the US House of Representatives was going to investigate the way the NCAA Football Champion is determined. Saying the BCS system is flawed. Their headline was "Having solved all of America's problems . . . " http://www.cato.org/dispatch/12-07-05d.html
In other news, it took about 8 hours for the last oreo to be eaten at work. And with the blue lighting, my screen looks a bit funny, so I had to play around with the brightness and graphics properties on my monitor to get it to look like normal.
