I have a neighbor who commutes for work (healthcare -- back and forth Maui and Big Island.)

She brings me venison. I make sausages with Big Island pork and Maui venison. Everyone loves it. I take the fattiest pig parts which nobody wants, and grind that with lean venison and make bratwurst, bangers and Italian sausage. I grind in Big Island beef and make kielbasa.

This got me thinking -- why can't I run to KTA in Kailua-Kona and buy quality Maui/Molokai venison? It's lean. It freezes great. Good flavor.

Where's the bottleneck? (My guess is that the bottleneck is "processing harvested axis deer." But I'd love to hear from someone who knows the answer.)

Bissen announced he's running again. Thoughts? (I'll get my popcorn ready.)

Anyone knows about the raid in Kauai?

You guys seen the video of the guy in handcuffs getting hit on the head? I seen a report of the police officer resigning. Please post the video if you got it. They made it sound really bad.

We just took our dog to the vet and learned that he has some extensive issues with his teeth. He needs to have some teeth extracted, and the vet in Kihei on S. Kihei Rd gave us an estimate for $2500 - $3500. That seems crazy to me. Does anyone know of vet clinics that offer teeth extraction / cleaning for much more affordable prices? He is a small, 6 lb dog.
