The weather at Waikiki in Hawaii, is the best in the world. It is warm and dry throughout the year (70~90F). No hurricanes, no heavy rains, no earthquakes. Money can not buy weather. So here is the best place to play tennis and to realize the successful aging. 常夏のハワイといわれるように気候は世界一。一年を通じて気温は20~30℃、湿度が低いのでカラットしてます。台風、大雨、地震もないです。いくら金持ちでも気候はお金では買えません。青空の下でテニスができたら、心と体の健康に良いでしょう。ハワイで素晴らしい健康的な人生を楽しみましょう。

NOT IN SERVICE
From Tom
Aloha!
Thanks "Good Charley" for this article. They still will not find their way there,right? Still have not got on the tennis courts being busy doing catching up on paperwork ,etc. Still getting furniture piece by piece and just added a L-shaped computer deck and a leather chair that's to be delovered Thurs. from Office Depot. Heard from Ian, the Continental Flight Attendent saying he saw you and the rest of the gang this past weekend. These 3 squares a day is almost too much. My son, from Los Gatos about 35 miles away has been over to visit 2 times already taking pictures which he will then put on CD's and you can see what is going on,etc. Been in touch with "Mo" almost every day to help him cope with his new home. He is now with Shawn, who lives in Gilroy. Mo is walking to a nearby tennis courts and feeling better. This place has several computer rooms and one can be alone most of the time, especially at 4 am. Not even the cooks are up then! ha. Take care Charlie and tell all I DO miss you guys!!

The soon-to-be-demolished visitor kiosk
http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/20100816_Signs_will_replace_Kapiolani_Park_kiosk.html?success
The visitor information kiosk at the corner of Kapahulu and Kalakaua avenues will come down next month to make way for new, rock wall signs that will help tourists answer the mostly common asked question at the kiosk: "Where is the zoo?"
Acting Mayor Kirk Caldwell said yesterday that the kiosk is staffed sporadically by volunteers. When it is open, the No. 1 question tourists have for volunteers is how to find the entrance to the zoo, which is about 50 yards away.
The new signs will be mounted on rock walls, and one will point visitors to the Honolulu Zoo entrance, Caldwell said.
The other will tell visitors that they are in Queen Kapiolani Regional Park.
They are part of the city's new zoo entrance project, which is scheduled to be finished by the end of the year, city spokesman Bill Brennan said.
The other common questions that tourists ask at the kiosk involve the Waikiki Aquarium, Hanauma Bay and city bus routes.
But Caldwell said that information is also available at Waikiki hotels and the Honolulu Police Department's Waikiki substation, which is near the soon-to-be-demolished visitor kiosk. The work to demolish the kiosk and install the signs is scheduled to cost $72,000, according to the mayor's spokesman. It will cost $3.26 million to remodel the zoo entrance.
In November the city announced the demolition of the kiosk when officials broke ground on a new entrance to the zoo, which is designed to be more visible and closer to the parking lot.
The new entrance will feature multiple ticket lines and a 2,000-square-foot gift shop.
Correction: The cost to demolish the kiosk and install the signs is $72,000 and is part of a $3.26 million project to remodel the zoo entrance. An earlier version of this story said the cost to demolish the kiosk and install the signs is $3.26 million.

Charles News
A Swedish motorist caught driving at 290km/h (180mph) in Switzerland could be given a world-record speeding fine of SFr1.08m ($1m; £656,000), prosecutors say.
The 37-year-old, who has not been named, was clocked driving his Mercedes sports car at 170km/h over the limit.
Under Swiss law, the level of fine is determined by the wealth of the driver and the speed recorded.
In January, a Swiss driver was fined $290,000 - the current world record.
Local police spokesman Benoit Dumas said of the latest case that "nothing can justify a speed of 290km/h".
"It is not controllable. It must have taken 500m to stop," he said.
The Swede's car - a Mercedes SLS AMG - has been impounded and in principle he could be forced to pay a daily fine of SFr3,600 for 300 days.
