Hardship in Hilo
Okay so I have 14 miniues till the time runs out on this dollar operated internet terminal.
Crikey... 13:13
drat 12:48
Okay- anyway, I had a nice little piece typed up but then the thing ran out before I hit the publish button and now I'm hating life, staying up later feeling like I need to go tend to body things minutes or more ago.
Come on Sean, this is Hawaii. Quit your complaining and tell everybody how sweet your life is. Tell them that 5% grade here feels about like how flat or downhill feels up there at 40 or so degrees latitude. Tell them that it only takes a quarter the liquid to roam Hawaii as it does to do Boulder's hills. Tell them there are banana trees. Tell them that Banyan trees are right up there with Sycamore trees for being the coolest trees there are.
Tell them you now have mayonaise and lettuce to go with your wheat bagels and sharp cheddar cheese. Tell them about raisins and dates and plums and peaches and nectarines and grapefruit juice and V-8 juice and 8 packs of Gatoraid and the giantly huge and possibly also colossal desire to rage (or really- just be) on Mauana Kea.
Tell them that things are going well.
Tell them you are very grateful for what you have been given.
Tell them also that you think it might be way better yet if they were here with you.
Be honest, go on, tell them these things.
Especially tell that one.
