This past spring, I was parked at the Ballroom entrance at The Grand Wailea. It was a slow night, and I was waiting for a dispatch. Finally decided that I needed to check the inside of my eyelids for possible pinholes. Very little radio traffic on the two-way radio and I was listening to an “easy music” radio station.

K A - B O O M!!

My first reaction was to grab the shotgun out of the rack and prepare to defend my self. Oops. I am in a cab, not a patrol car.

B O O M!! - B A N G!!

This second explosion was visible.. One of the “groups” at The Grand were having a display of aerial pyrotechnics. Kewl.

Grabbed my camera and tried to get some shots. They didn’t come out too good.

Then the “little voice” inside my head started talking to me.

“HEY STUPID. YOUR CAMERA CAN TAKE VIDEO!”

This is what I captured on the video:

BTW - All the pix I post can be viewed in a larger format by just “clicking” them.
