Memorial Day weekend
May. 27th, 2012 04:39 pmToday is Rolling Thunder, the bikers' memorial to vets, especially from the Vietnam era. It gets longer every year. They are predicting that it'll be about four hours today.

This weekend they've had a celebration of Hawaii at the NMAI. It was pretty interesting. They had a panel discussion on what Aloha means. I talked to Tom "Pohaku" Stone about sledding without snow on grass and rocks. He told us about a woman who sledded down into Mauna Kea and developed enough momentum to go up the other side. Video of what it's like here http://tinyurl.com/cqshjmq
( He's making the sled )
