Kaua‘i Police Department Chief Todd Raybuck didn’t fool around Tuesday during the Bikes on Rice (it only happens once a month) family ride. He brought his entire ‘ohana, including the two family dogs (great dog carriers made for bicycles). Ashton Varner discovered her VIP bike is a veteran from the Nancy Budd days before she upgraded to a higher level of equipment, and was Dr. Randy Blake one of the group leaders?

Tiana Ramos is missing not having basketball on our courts (watching virtual is all right, but can’t beat the real thing) when she did the photo-bomb thing with Lihu‘e Pharmacy Pharmacist Kevin Glick (mahalo for the help with the flu-shot artwork) and all those pretties.
