Surf’s Up
June 8th, 2008
While serving in the Navy in Oahu back in 1943, we would turn on the radio after reveille at 5 a.m. to hear the news of the day.
The first announcement was “There will be pineapples in the fields today”.
That meant that the weather was right and the workers should go to work in the many pineapple fields that were on the island.
Now the morning announcement says that the surf is up.
Times change, don’t they?
