Aloha Bread Lovers

Aloha Bread Lovers – tomorrow (Sunday) we will be serving Uncle Yosef. Our dear Uncle Yosef is in fact a flat bread that is filled with 3 types of cheese, a couple of spinach leaves and on top of it all we crack an egg and bake the whole thing together. A little olive oil, some chopped scallions and voila - I suggest eating it like a slice of pizza. We will of course have our amazing and fun Uke Jammers doing what they do best – making music and having fun.

This week we felt a nice earthquake as it rolled across the island. For many, the surprising thing was not only the magnitude, but also the duration. I have a personal connection to earthquakes and not only because I grew up in Los Angeles. Before Motek Bakery took over my life I was the head of business development for a start-up company that developed a method of providing early warning for earthquakes. Without getting too much into the weeds of earthquake early warning, there are two waves emitted by an earthquake. The first wave (the S-wave) travels very fast and arrives ahead of the damaging second or P-Wave. Using a lot of pure physics and some AI, the company had developed a technology that could very quickly analyze the data provided by the S-Wave in order to know when, where and how strong the P-Wave would be. On a good day we are talking about advance warning of maybe 15 – 30 seconds. Still, you would be surprised what you can do in 15 seconds: stop elevators, slow down trains, close tunnels, etc.. I tried to interest the authorities here in Hawaii but, as you can imagine, I didn’t get very far.

.Thank you – David and Yael
