My wife and I have always wanted to have a vacation in Hawaii. I have no idea when we might end up going there, but it’s definitely on the list of places to visit at some point in the near future.
Every once in a while one of us starts looking at various vacation spots. It’s usually my wife that does this, but I look sometimes too. One site that I visited recently had a number of Hawaii travel packages listed and they sounded enticing.
It seems that more and more people are visiting Hawaii and staying in Villa’s rather than big hotels or resorts. That sounds appealing to Trish and I. I think that staying in a villa or vacation home would be much more relaxing. It feel more like a home away from home since you’d have access to all the amenities that you’d be used to in your own home like the use of a kitchen, laundry and so on.
Another plus is that many of these Hawaii vacation villas are located very close to the beach and ocean. Imagine getting up in the morning and watching the sunrise over the ocean? Or having dinner on the villas patio and watching the sun go down. I know that we’d enjoy that.
Ah! I must stop talking about this right now or I’ll find myself with a credit card in one hand and the phone in the other as I make reservations for a Hawaii vacation!

Do you remember that I wrote about a village in India recently that had painted the whole town pink? Well … Sherrif Clint Low of Mason Washington decided to try to deter inmates from becoming repeat offenders by covering the entire county jail with a pink wash.
I guess he liked the idea!
Even the prisoners uniforms had a change of color. Prisoners now wear pink jumpsuits and pink slippers. Low dyed the uniforms after finishing painting the jail pink. He did this to stop inmates from stealing clothes from each other.
The walls are painted pink in order to keep the inmates relaxed and keep the tempers at bay. So far things are working out with no fights between the prisoners.
The re-offense rate in the county is down by 70% too. Probably because release prisoners, if they’ve gone back to a life of crime might be doing it in a different county least they get caught again. I’m sure they wouldn’t want to return to the pink jail.

Villagers in a remote eastern India village protested after police arrived to arrest a three-month-old boy for robbery.
The boys name was subsequently dropped from a list of those accused of robbing bus passengers last week. Well yeah, the kid can’t even walk, how’s he going to rob bus passengers? An investigation is being conducted to figure out how this happened.
A police officer, Kumar, said the boy may have been named by the complainant “with a malicious intent”. Who on earth would have malicious intent against a 3 month old – more likely I believe, it was a prank.
