Don't waste your time ordering grocery from Amazon Prime Now in Honolulu

We have tried couple of times in Honolulu. It accepted our orders all the time but always failed to deliver. You get a message that it failed and a charge may temporarily appear which will be zeroed later.

However, amazon.com continues to show these pages and the ordering app is working great. Don't expect any delivery.

You may get the delivery if you are lucky. However, you cannot plan on it.

One of our neighbors got some grocery delivered. However, the order was not delivered in its entirety as the inventory does not adjust automatically.

Does a spider dream of Waikiki?

It is time for introspection and looking out for things that one may not notice usually. There are always wonderful and deadly(New Corona Virus) things in nature. They humble us and bring us to our knees. We have come a long way from our primitive beginnings, but have we really conquered the world with our superior knowledge.  We probably have made just a little nick in knowing the existing universe.

Here is an arresting picture of the clear skies by Ben Lockett that appeared in BBC's article. The photographer found easy to capture this courtesy of corona virus with no flights spoiling his picture.

Here is my attempt to capture a spider's web on my lilikoi (passion fruit) creeper. I tried to juxtaposition Waikiki in the distance and barely made it.
