So, yesterday we're headed to the beach driving along The Queen Kaahumanu Highway (Highway 19) along the western, dry-side, Kohala coast. Very hot, low and open. Nothing around but empty mile after empty mile of lava fields. Then I spot on the left hand shoulder a dark SUV, unmarked but with police lights on it. Check my speed, yep only a hair over the double nickel (55 MPH) but I am being passed by a red Dodge
Magnum (a popular tourist rental) going at a high rate of speed. In my rear view mirror I see the cop's SUV start up and peal a "U turn" into our lane and from a half mile or so back start gaining on us with cars pulling over onto the ample 
paved shoulder to let him pass, as I do when he catches up. Then, far in the distance ahead he pulls over the Magnum. As we pass by we're shocked to see the cop take the guy down, gun drawn and pointed with two arms extended. Pointed at his head! Slow down, yep slow down. I'm not speeding here.[if you want to send me an e-mail, click here ]

Nothing like a little extra police chase to get to put in a blog! I am really, really enjoying all of your entries! Interesting about the birds. And love that water! This is so great! Can't wait for the next post!
