Besides Mai Tai's, this is the only other drink I consume when I'm in the islands. My regular stores, Vons, Ralphs, Trader Joe's or Fresh N Easy do not carry anything from the Kona Brewing Co. Last night, I went into the Bev Mo in Rancho Cucamonga looking for some other brew (looking for Endless Summer which I haven't seen anywhere else but from a truck I was following on the 405 freeway). Didn't find Endless Summer but I did find these Kona Brewing Co. lager and ale six packs -- at a sale price of $7.99 each. That is less than what I paid in Kapaa 3 weeks ago so I was pretty stoked! I should really go back to Bev Mo and get a few more of these. Beats a 5-hour plane ride to the 808 state.
Within the past year, I've been trying different soaps in the hope that it will balance out the hard water that we get from the Cucamonga Valley Water District. It's been a lot of trial and error from handmade soaps from the Soap Kitchen in Pasadena to my local Sprouts Market. This one from Sprouts caught my eye with its use of traditional type on the packaging. Not Helvetica.
Fish Camp is the last town just before entering Yosemite National Park from the south entrance. I love the hand-made sign I saw when we did a quick stop to get some sodas and gummy bears for the drive back into the valley. From Fish Camp, it's another 35 miles of mountain driving to get to the valley.
This is my personal crusade to rid the world of Helvetica. The design Nazis tell us everything should be in Helvetica from freeway signs to every consumer product imaginable. Sign at liquor store in Azusa on Route 66. Not Helvetica.
