Sorry to see fishing writer go

I’ve enjoyed Mark Johnston’s Wednesday fishing column this past year. I will actually miss reading it! As someone who appreciates eating our delicious local fish, I’ve been exposed to a new level and enjoyed visualizing the splashing lures and hearing the screeching reels, as well as learning a bit about water patterns and weight records.

Good luck in your new venture training anti poaching scouts advanced back country first aid in Zambia, Mark.

Don’t complain, you live here

Do not complain about monitoring air. There is nothing the state or county can do. The volcano is erupting. This will not be the last time, either.

You moved here, get used to it. You have choices. Either you move far away, get off the island, wear a mask, or stay indoors.

Use common sense.

I was born and raised on this island, Kona side, and have experienced many volcanoes and eruptions.

Currency of the times

This would be a good time to create a commemorative paper currency to highlight President Trump. He should be featured laying down on his back to remind us that he is very good at lying.

And he has to wear the hat that best shows his actions toward Hispanics and Muslims — a white cone KKK hat. After all, he made it very clear they are all terrorists, rapists, or dope dealers. To his side a spank me sign must hang in the hope that a star might spank him again.

The front of the currency should feature the skyline of the Kremlin since that is where his true love resides. They helped get him elected so they need the recognition.

And for the final necessary group of world leaders — friends, foes alike — waving goodbye to the United States for all of Trump’s heavy-handed demands and insults.

Look at it! What a stunning tribute on this currency.

Now to feature the denomination to feature its true worth — a big fat zero.
