So, we're talking about Stalin in history class, and every time - every time - someone says "secret police" what pops into my head is an image of a gender-ambiguous balaclava-clad cloak-and-miter-wearing star-bearing individual speaking through a vocoder.
Dear Hawaii,
Kona storms are only supposed to happen during late fall through winter. It is officially the middle of spring, so we were neither planning nor expecting to get drenched for two days straight.
This is supposed to be our danged vacation! Please stop raining out and cancelling/rescheduling our activities.
Love (ish),
Me.
