Public service announcement, super-parochial edition

Neat, isn't it, that Einstein used to live in that house? I know I thought so when I first moved here. I get it. But please, visitors and the otherwise curious: Don't walk backwards into the busy road the house is on, without looking, to get a better photo. Yes, I know to look out for this, because it's down the street and happens all the time. (I only screamed, 'Oh no, why is someone suddenly walking backwards into the road there???' the first few dozen times driving to town.) But what if someone's driving down the road - and it's just at the point where it's gone from 45mph to 25mph, so if they're not from the area, they may not have noticed and slowed down - and they don't know the significance of that nearly unmarked and otherwise ordinary-looking house? Hmm?

It's the theory of relative Darwin Awards....

Super-parochial announcement for those living inside the Pale, rather than in Elkhart, Indiana, or the such:

Supper is the Cheesecake Factory of the Big Island.

Real ingredients. Good value for the dollar. An affordable luxury for dine-in or delivery.
