Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Am I suppose to drink green beer or drink enough beer until I turn green!

Riding the bus to work this morning really made me appreciate what I have in life. And by, "what I have in life," I mean the ability to take an Uber to go pick up my truck at the shop this afternoon!

No, no, no, you just drink it until your pee turns green.

I don't drink alcohol anyway so it won't effect me.

Why because I can enjoy life without alcohol. Since alcoholism runs in my family, I choose to not drink.

This is kind of interesting if it's true.  If true, the Obamas may be involved in the purchase of the estate depicted in the Magnum P.I. television series.

One of Hawaii's best-known homes was sold this week.

The stunning three-acre oceanfront parcel along Waimanalo Beach was made famous in the "Magnum P.I." television series, but who might spend time there next may give it even more notoriety.

The sale at 41-505 Kalanianaole Highway is shrouded in a bit of mystery, but it could involve a very famous future visitor when he's not at the White House.

The property traded hands in a sale that recorded Monday.

The talk of the neighborhood so far is that the purchase is affiliated with President Barack Obama, so we looked into it.

"People on the beach here think it's Obama, and some people like me are thrilled at the prospect," said Lee Siegel, who owns a neighboring home. "It's wonderful. My dog there can't wait to play with Bo."

"I think the people who are kind of negatively concerned are worried that security is going to somehow impede or interfere with their life here in Waimanalo. It's going to put Waimanalo on the map, that's for sure," Siegel added.
"I am the sole purchaser and did not have any partners or co-investors in the transaction." — Marty Nesbitt

Listing agent Mary Worrall sold the home for $8.7 million on behalf of the same ohana that had owned it since the 1930s when it was built.

She said everyone in the transaction had to sign confidentiality agreements, so nothing further could be disclosed about who is buying it and what plans are for the house.

Always Investigating reviewed the deed and mortgage and found the buyer is an LLC called Waimanalo Paradise, set up just last month, whose mailing address and contact is Obama donor and Chicago lawyer Seth Madorsky.

The deed and the mortgage are signed by a person with the same name, Judy Grimanis, as an executive assistant at a Chicago-based private capital firm run by Obama's longtime friend and frequent Hawaii golf and travel partner Marty Nesbitt. Grimanis is also the same name of a person who worked for companies owned by Penny Pritzker, a prominent Obama fundraiser and current U.S. Secretary of Commerce.

After KHON2's story first aired, Nesbitt responded to Always Investigating, stating "I am the sole purchaser and did not have any partners or co-investors in the transaction."

The mortgage is held by yet another LLC set up last month, this one called Hoaloha Holdings.

The mortgage is nearly a million dollars more than the sale price, a $9.5 million note, so it would appear some major renovations could be in store for the aging property.

No comment yet from the seller or from the White House about the First Family's connections, if any.

Finding that this past week caused me to stream a few old episodes of Magnum on Netflix this weekend.

Wondering if anyone else is using a fire stick and, if so, would you recommend one or is it mostly a waste? We heard about them and have been debating whether it would be worth it or not.

I do also. In fact, much of what I watch is reruns.
