It’s been dry in most of Hawaii for years. It’s not just upcountry or West Maui that needs rain. Most of the islands need better than average rainfall for many years to come.
Since the infamous 40 days of rain in early 2006, Hawaii reverted back to the recent decade of dry weather. Enough is enough already.
Let me be the first to provide an official welcome to the 2007-2008 rainy season in Hawaii. What better time to start the festivities than on Halloween night? It’s not that I have anything at all against cute little kids in Spiderman or Princess costumes– as long as they’re walking around Ala Moana Center begging merchants for candy coated sugar bombs.
In fact, all Halloween trick or treaters should head to the shopping malls instead of neighbor’s doors. It’s perfect. Those of us who want to see children in their costumes can go to the mall. Trick or treaters go to the mall. Merchants hand over candy and goodies. Everyone stays dry. Who loses?
Halloween is a perfect night to begin Hawaii’s increasingly absent rainy season. What better way to keep teenage troublemakers from making trouble than to have the sky piss all over them in a drenching that we need anyway.
Come to think of it, the perfect day to commemorate the exact middle of Hawaii’s rainy season is New Year’s Eve. Fireworks just don’t have the same appeal when it’s raining cats and dogs.
