I don’t get to watch often, but when I can catch it, I watch an episode or two of “Dog, The Bounty Hunter”. Especially exciting is when they are filming on the Big Island. One of tonight’s episodes was filed here in South Kona and Kau. It is pretty obvious when they are here because of the look of the lava on the ground.

Dog’s son Leland lives here and his bail bond office is in Kainaliu, right next to a small drive in restaurant, laundromat and just above a bookstore and video store. Also in the same little center is a pet store where I met Mary to get a computer she wanted me to work on.

So tonight Dog and crew are helping Leland nab a guy who was down in Naalehu in the Kau district. That is one of the most southern towns in the country. When I decided to move here, that was one town I look at as a residence. I found a farm that was reasonably priced, but had a driveway that looked like a ski ramp. I passed, however, it looks like a nice place to live if it wasn’t so far to COSTCO!

Anyway, they finally captured the guy and took him to the Kau police station. I recognized the station having passed it a few times on my way to the volcano. Also, the next day, Dad and son and the rest went to the beach. From the quick view of the cliffs in the distance, I knew they were about 3 miles from here, down near but south of the Captain Cook monument and probably over near Keei Beach or even a bit farther south.

So it appears that whether you are famous or infamous, you end up here J
