How crazy is it that we’re now residents of Hawaii? Now that we have an apartment, I honestly don’t want to wait another month and a half to get back there. Our trip was a huge success, we found a great apartment, an awesome sectional couch, and some sweet bar stools.
How awesome isĀ Hawaii? well the other day I was driving down the road and what did I have to stop for?
That’s right, peacocks. Three of them, just hanging out in the middle of the road. When was the last time you even A) saw a peacock B) saw multiple peacocks C) saw multiple peacocks in the wild D) had to stop your car due to peacocks in the road.
Personally I’ve never had to stop my car for anything other than a squirrel, dog, maybe a cat, or an animal- like person. I imagine in some parts of the world stopping for cows or sheep is common, but a peacock? that’s just crazy.
Another kind of odd thing we came upon in Hawaii was this, though as a designer, my mention of this is not in a good way:
A blue stop sign? really? I’m not even sure what that means. You can have a red octagon that doesn’t have any words on it and people know that it means “stop”, but this? it’s like changing the colors of a traffic light to purple, orange, and aquamarine. Weird. There were also several of these in this mall parking lot, so it was cleary intentional and not a mistake.
Even with these crazy blue stop signs, we’re pretty pumped to be moving there and calling this place home for a while.

Hey, you know what? We LIVE there.
Blue stop signs? Peacock crossings? Lay off the hallucinogens, Bri. For Gill’s sake.
Yea for real. The Navy kind of frowns on the drug use, BUT I NEED IT!
