The lost people of Fern Forest (Honolulu: live, cost, law)

Island Naturals is the best. Their breakfast bar is terrific; a good grab to start the morning or freeze a bunch of portions for the week when I cannot cook for the day. J Hara is a terrific sports store, hardware store, quick soup or chili available, fresh bananas. They God, (oops sorry atheist), got really good harpoon guns for fishing w/ mask. yeah. But get the right gauge so you pull it back good and tight, catch good big fish, not bounce off with girlie gauge.

...Contemplating my Many Blessings....

So nice to be the only one on the Highway of Life in our beautiful Kona Hawaii. So fortunate NOT to be in Des Moines or Kennebunkport or St Louis or Indianapolis or Anchorage this time of year. Sorry folks if you live in these quant cities. They are quite beautiful covered in snow with the moon reflecting off black ice - (ouch).

I remember that now, here I foolishly thought I might find a better paradise of sorts in a distant S Pacific Island Nation on the cheap. And was I wrong. No honey bees, no polinators, no food except for 5 varieties of veggies and 5 varieties of fruits, (that is all). Frozen chicken and edible cow bile flown in from Georgia. How nice. The locals are so preoccupied with their addictions that they dont even raise chickens . They just nurture their addictions. Imagine working all month long (for those willing to work), as -- say a school teacher; earning the huge lump sum of $360. minus 7.% taxes and forbid you have to buy gasoline because it was selling for $4.20 per gallon. Do the math, it sooksafay.

Yeah, driving down this Highway here in Hawaii in the sweet sweet morning.... Hey Muammar Gaddafi ( in your fine gold thread hand tailored suit ) - get your ass in gear. Shape Up or Ship Out.

Meth addicts are destroying their health and ruining their teeth. Who pays for Health Care ? Dig deeper into your pockets - folks.

In case you do not know what Meth is doing to people in Hawaii, go search the Net for : HowdoIgetOffDrugs.Com

If you dont care about it then tell your kids to "Run along and make New Friends at School ."

I am sure they will.

Thanks, but be aware, they may be infected with coqui frogs and need to be quarantined before bringing into non-infected areas like my nabe. In Volcano the Coquistadores (local coqui control) have instructions on how to do that safely.
