In Memoriam Portuguese Style

Oahu , Hawaii

www.mypoipubeach.com/backwindow

Brief Introduction: Honolulu , Oahu . On first impression, to see an elaborate sticker in memoriam to so-and-so, on the bank window of the SUV before me, suggested that the proceeds of the decedent’s estate or insurance policy had bought the vehicle and the grateful occupants had made this dedication to the dear-departed. Could this be true?

Discussion: Our Fiftieth State has streets, roads, highways, and superhighways. Superhighways H1 and H3 are part of Oahu ’s Interstate highway system, this when the nearest state is some 2500 miles East across the Pacific. But Hawaii is still part of the national grid. Hawaii gets tightly bound to our national identity: and getting a car, getting more cars, getting bigger cars. We become a national lock step, as all-together-now, we roll down the superhighways at 20mph.

On Oahu island, one can’t imagine a time when the auto was not an integer of life; just as the rest of the nation populates its cities with cars, SUVs, trucks, vans and all the rest. John Michner’s evocative opening line to his historical novel Hawaii, thanks to all the Oahu vehicles, can be retread each day as the denizens of the island sigh as they roll down H1: Eons and eons and eons ago I started my drive….here one can insert any destination.

When drivers, consumers, operating in the much sanctified so-called free-market economy make a choice in such a locale to purchase a Humvee, one can no longer see the market is rational. To be fair to Humvee owners, as this writer wishes to be seen, pick-up trucks with double axles and tires in pairs may only be checked by a vehicle first designed for military, mortal combat. On further consideration, the reality may be that this is not a free market, but one heavily subsidized, so that consumers make absurd choices, how else to explain these so-called SUVs, that is Saudi Utility Vehicles, in such numbers? One such vehicle is called The Escalade. This Spanish word means escalation. A designer’s conception of a Cadillac rear-ended by a pick-up truck, all in a filigreed doo, suitable to an urban cowboy. Surely, drug therapy, based on testosterone, would be more effective and resource efficient?

Why don’t we call a spade a spade? Forget The Esplande, let’s call if the The Bandahar, after the Saudi Arabian Prince and the Saudi Royals’ Ambassador to Washington, who nonchalantly promises to aid the fly-boy’s re-election by lowering fuel prices in time for the 2004 election. And a cheaper tank of gas for all said Saudi Utility Vehicles. A future of Bandahars and Bandahar II seems so much more honest than the pretense of the Humvee and the Humvee II. One can but relish the thought of The Terminator lunging forth from his fourth Bandahar II to rescue all of America , not just California , in the very near future. Forgive me reader, for I know to make such arguments will but create such a barrage of indignation from my fellow Americans, that I choose to withdraw it, so that they may continue to live-the-dream of the, guffaw, guffaw, open road as depicted in the marketing pictures. That dream now disturbed by a nightmare spelled, I’ll be coy and spell it backwards: Q A R I. In the DOD, Wolfowitz recently found QARI or Quite Accidentally Renewed Islam in the WMD or What Man Didn’t folder lost under Rumsfeld’s desk.

But back to my impression, I observe for the first time on my visit to Oahu , on the back windows of the locals’ vehicles, where one might expect college affiliations or sports team decals, memorials. In memoriam to so and so, with dates. There is no further information given. Perhaps, one can also speculate, the person memorialized simply expired in the vehicle, whilst a fraction of one of those eons was passing in the roadways. Or could it be proof that, my earlier assertion of irrational Humvee consumers, notwithstanding, represents a defensive move on their part? A strategy to avoid becoming too soon memorialized oneself?

Honolulu has a mayor, in the last year of his term, who in his State of the City message, makes a German Green Party leader look pale. The roster of alternative fuel projects must exceed the scope of any other land. As it must says the mayor. Presumably, the mayor’s thought encompasses the strain to the island’s ecological system, and, oil companies please forbid, diminishing reserves of fuel. His Honor calls for the start of a light rail project, without federal monies, so he says without federal delays. Now that’s desperation from a politician! This was the first I had heard of a federal delay. After all, is it not the feds who cleverly withhold our monies for their taxes before the year is out? Thus, the wage-slaves never see their true earnings. No delay their in such advanced collection.

Certainly, every member of the mayor’s audience seemed to see the point, all the palpably heightened applause, suggested. Yet, one suspects that after the speech, as the audience swarmed back to the vehicle resting grounds and all the remote door openers chirped pleasantly and interior/exterior lights flickered on and off, not so far from seeming like a herd of new life forms, that these vehicles will go on for more eons and eons to come. The mobile picture windows of the SUVs, pickups, etcetera memorializing the lives that once occupied them, now consumed by them?

Conclusion: In the end, I must report to the reader that in checking with my local sources in Oahu , it was revealed that these In Memoriams reflect the contingent of the population descended from the Portuguese who came to the island. A custom it must have been to remember family now departed. But here, to this writer, oddly transferred to America ’s automobile culture. This is adaptability. And the herd moves on. Down the road to the future, racing ever more slowly. Aloha.
