    Where’s the Aloha spirit? Did it leave the Big Island of Hawaii? Just wondering as it’s been replaced by the Alo-hell-O spirit instead so Mahalo for reporting these thefts & incidents even if the West HI Today won’t report crimes that happen on the islands so tourists won’t be scared off. Met the poor man that was slashed on the hand & wrist he has to have surgery can’t work so keep him in your prayers. PEACE out
