good morning it's 7 A.M and more in the day of the life of Street smile Solutions Dr Amanda and this
is kind of what I do with my day so we get up we have coffee super hecka early while everyone still
asleep I like to be up when my kids are up at 5am and they head off to morning practice they're both
swimmers and then I work in my little garden here this is my lettuce grow you can see I've
got all kind of plants that are growing I've got tomatoes and peppers my little Peppers we've got
star fruits can you see them there we go see the little yellow things those are my star fruits
and sometimes take a little swim there's a community pool sometimes they don't but that's
kind of what I do and then I usually take a bunch of Loops we live on a circle so I'll
kind of show you my circle Loop all right hang on all right it's time to take a morning walk
so I live on this circle which is great it's actually a third of a mile and sometimes when
I'm most of the time I listen to podcasts a lot of podcasts you can hear all the birdies if I'm quiet
and I think this tree is like super super old it's a really nice tree I don't know what it is
I will show you some of the flora and fauna that we see along the way
they've been trimming the coconut trees which is always entertaining to watch as you can see
these guys will actually shimmy up these trees it's so dangerous they've been doing it this
week I don't think they're gonna let me film them though not sure if I can show you this flower can
you see this kind of white flower I think it's a peacocki I'm not sure it smells heck good though
when you're walking it literally smells like a flower store it's so beautiful it smells like a
lay I'm gonna see if I can zoom in on one of these parakeets so we do have wild parakeets
that I don't know what the story of them is but they're they're actually Innovative did you see
him there's green parakeets everywhere flying around oh there did you see them they're there
do you see them stay here still there's one see did you see it oh there's a ton of them flying by
tons of invasive parakeets there's another one another parakeet oh there he goes
tons of them but they are flying around now if you listen quietly you're going to hear a minor bird
you hear the you go that is a minor bird and they're super irritating and they're
actually an invasive species here's two of our local cats you've main seen them in my video
that is baby cat and mama cat don't have names for them yet let's go say hi
oh that's not nice okay baby cat's nice hey baby kitty Mama kitten's not too happy
okay she says I need to go so I'll go here's another kitty I don't know this one
this is my favorite tree this is a banyan tree and this is like super super super old
so you can see these roots that come out and it's a great place to swing you can
my kids were little they used to swing on the on the vines that hang off of it
um you can stretch them back here and jump off and swing it's kind of dangerous but not
some of these homeless people live in the tree so that's a no but this used to be an
archery range way back when but no more bows and arrows now they're just fun place to hang out
it's super steamy today like sweaty steamy sometimes I walk up and get coffee
um it's about a mile away you see the people at the top of Diamond Head can you see them now Mindy
so this is actually a very very old mango tree I don't know what type of mango tree it is but
come spring it's going to be full of yummy mangoes and the thing about the mangoes sorry it's really
loud this is a really busy run the thing about the mangoes is that people try to steal them because
they're very valuable you can sell them for a lot of money there there's another one over there as
you can see so people put cameras on their mango just so they don't get stolen so that's kind of
crazy but yeah they're super super delicious they taste like candy so let's go ahead and walk over
to one of my favorite beaches where sometimes I work my husband sometimes go surfing there
uh my kids like to swim and lay out now let's go check it out so I'm going to show you some of the
properties around here because some of you asked how much they cost I would say a lot of these are
historic residences as you can see actually this building right here okay if you guys are real
world fans from like two decades ago a generation ago it was either this house or the house next to
it that was the real world Hawaii house way back when I think it was this one not exactly sure but
definitely they went to this beach park so I would say these houses are somewhere in the neighborhood
of four million to 10 million I mean they're not cheap I think this one was like a 10 million okay
this is makalei Beach Park it's one of my favorite places a huge surf spot by the way a lot of the
lot of movie stars and television stars live around here I won't mention who they are because
they're privacy but they're always down here surfing at this park my husband has definitely
making many Beach showers with them at this beach shower I won't again mention who they are but
um you definitely know them a big place for local famous people who moved here for TV shows like
Magnum PI Hawaii Five-O lost etc etc so I'll kind of show you there's this is not like a beach beach
this is more like go out and catch some great waves and swim and snorkel the fish are absolutely
amazing looks like Tide's pretty high right now so I might get wet yeah there's a tiny little
strip of beach this is where my daughter likes to go to hang out with her friends very beautiful
as you can see a few people surfing out there if you look out in the distance
squashed I'll hold my phone just in case I got some great ways out
there about six to seven Footers Maybe maybe less a lot of waves beautiful day
so fun fact about Hawaii beaches is that nobody owns a beach so even the person who
lives here they don't own their beach beach is for everyone so I can go on any Beach anywhere
all the way around the island nobody can stop me nobody can block me they cannot make I can't
walk through their property to get there so you have to find a public way to get there
see him
but yes it's a beautiful morning and this is kind of my day in the life so I'm going back to
to do a bunch more work with my day but
let's see if I see any fish this story goes from the way I understand it
um a couple dozen years ago maybe two dozen years ago there was Hurricane which mostly hit Kauai
and Kauai had a bunch of fighting chicken farms um a lot of Filipinos had migrated migrated had
moved to Kauai and they would do illegal chicken cockfights especially in Kauai it's a big thing
and what happened was during the hurricane the chickens escaped so the first guy they got out all
over Kauai and then during big storms they would they made it to Oregon and now they are everywhere
even in urban areas so we have wild chickens wild roosters everywhere everywhere everywhere
um kind of annoying but the good thing is that they eat the centipedes so we tolerate them
centipedes are bad yeah you're very friendly
good morning
I think the bugs eat the bugs
all right somebody told me they wanted me to swing on a banyan tree I don't know if this is
a good or a bad idea but there's a nice knot I can swing on how am I gonna do this one-handed
this makes no sense hopefully there's no homeless people in the tree yeah I don't think this is
gonna work but anyways you take the knot you put your foot on it you need two hands and you
swing oh God he's gonna come back and get me in the face anyways oh
anyways and this is a Plumeria tree so these are really pretty they make leaves out of these
but they're actually poisonous the sap is really sticky and poisoned so you really can't pick it
um but just so you guys know what film areas look like and this is a hibiscus tree or hibiscus bush
it's giant I don't know if I've ever seen this one this big but have you ever seen hibiscus
behind people's ears baby kittens back no mama this time oh no wrong there's Mama she's mad
good morning baby all right you guys we do have names for the kitties
um our security guy told me that the mama is named Don Quixote which is a supermarket and the baby's
name is Palama so we have names now yay and it is so freaking sticky that my hair is sticking to my
face and my glasses are too fogged up to used nope I think it's got to be about 95 humidity
I literally have to change all my clothes now just from walking around is gross but yeah
