it was near the end of summer. I was sitting in a restaurant in Waikiki wondering if I really should order brunch or should I not spend my last two travelers checks. I was looking at the prices on the menu and thinking that the money I was about to spend might be better used to allow me to stay another day or two in Hawaii.

I finally decided  that since I was not having much luck finding work other than  at a very low pay in the pineapple  canning factories, that it probably would be better to go back to Fresno where I could find work as an electrician.

There’s more to this story, but I’m working on other articles first.
