As some of you may know my Family both live and spend the winter

in Lahaina, Maui. It has Burned to the ground. My family is safe thank god.

We lost everything there. Our friends there are safe, Some we don't yet know.. 

It is devistating. We have no idea as to how many have died, probably 100's.
It is incredible that the Biden administration has on the 10th of August
knowing full well of the devistation pleged 21 BILLION, That could have been
for Maui!!!!!!!! It really pisses me off and should everyone.
Just think what 21 BILLION could do for Maui and our country.

THIS THE 19th OF OCTOBER AND STILL NOTHING DONE BY BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION FOR THE PEOPLE OF  LAHAINA!!! DISGRACEFUL!!!!

This short movie is hard to watch.
 

This coming winter we will be in Florida.
My shop will be closed from the end of September to May.
Thank you.
